澳大利亚5年内2年的移民监大家都了解，我的疑问是这个5年是从下签开始计算还是从第一次入境的日期开始计算呢？在网上搜了很多文章都没有明确的答案，所以来论坛请教各位大神，非常感谢。
澳洲移民监开始计算日期与下签时是在澳洲还是在澳洲之外相关，如果是境外申请的，就是第一次登陆时算，如果是在澳洲境内申请的就是下签时算。
Permanent residence visa granted - onshore
The start date of permanent residence in Australia is the date of grant of the permanent residence visa by DIBP.
Permanent residence visa granted - offshore
The start date of permanent residence in Australia is the date of first entry to Australia as the holder of a permanent visa. This date will in most cases be a date between the date the visa was granted and the date by which the visa holder should have arrived in Australia.
非常感谢，解决了我的大问题
