I was granted a 189 permanent resident visa in February 2014 however about 3 months later I had to leave Australia for a mix of work and personal reasons. So my 189 visa expires Feb 2019 and I won't be able to go back to Australia until around August 2018. Now this would be fine if I could stay there for 2 years, but I have children that don't live there so I would have to travel abroad.
Getting a resident return visa isn't possible as I don't have any strong ties to the country and I haven't met the eligibility criteria for amount of time spent there.
So, what is my status after my current visa expires, if I can't get a return visa then does that mean I can't even travel to Australia? Do I become a non permanent resident? Are there any other options for me if I wanted to move back there?
Thanks
