Virginia Lifetime Licenses....

[Wilds]

Got a question, the thought just crossed my mind as I was checking on the license fees on the F&G site.

The Va non resident lifetimefee is $505.

If I buy thatlicense, and if I ever decide to move BACK to Va, would that lifetime license still be in effect when I become a resident again?

Or would I lose out when my residency status changes?

I didn't see any details on that, anyone here know........?

This is on the application...

"This license is valid for the lifetime of the license holder even
if the license holder becomes a nonresident of the Commonwealth subsequent to the purchase of the license."

Looks to me that you can still use it even if you are no longer a Va resident.

So it must work in reverse, as well...

One would think?

It would make sense to just wait to move back then buy it, unless that never happens.

i believe once you have the lifetime license then it is good whether you live in or out of state.

Keep in mind, that's only your hunting license. You'll still need to buy a big game license every year, and if you bow hunt or black powder hunt, you'll need those licenses too.
