Curated answer for the Resident Return visa room No. VEVO lists the must-not-arrive-after date and the period of stay as separate details. Confusing an entry deadline with an allowed stay can lead to the wrong interpretation of the record. Source: Home Affairs: Check visa details and conditions. General information; no lawyer or registered migration agent has reviewed this editorial answer.
