Tips

5 Years Consecutive Residence

Scenario 1:
You have lived at the same rural address for 5+ years and still reside there.

• Provide two documents:
  • One current document (dated close to the time of your application)
  • One document dated at least 5 years prior

Scenario 2:
You lived in the same rural town for 5 years but changed houses within that time.

• Provide two documents per address:
  • One document from when you moved in
  • One document from when you moved out (or shortly before), to collectively span the full 5 years

Scenario 3:
You lived in multiple rural towns (MMM2–MMM7) over a continuous 5-year period, without living in an MMM1 location during that time.

• Provide two documents per address:
  • One from your move-in date
  • One from your move-out date, ensuring the documents collectively span 5 consecutive years

10 Years Cumulative Residence

You lived in MMM2–MMM7 towns over a 10-year period, but had breaks where you lived in an MMM1 location.

• Provide two documents per rural address:
  • One from around your move-in date
  • One from around your move-out date
• The total evidence must meet a minimum of 10 years of rural living (non-consecutive is acceptable)
