Thanks I won't be out of the country for more than 90 days in the last year as 2017 is only year 2 On the calculator it says "Lawful residence means living in Australia on a valid Australian temporary or permanent visa." Does this mean a valid working visa or any type of visa i.e. a tourist visa?

Hi all, I'm on a PR. I am wanting to leave Australia for 5 months this year and am wondering if it will affect me getting citizenship when the time comes? Here is my timeline: - Feb 2015 - First got to Australia on a tourist visa - May 2015 - Got a PR visa - Late May 2017 to Oct 2017 - out of Australia - Feb 2019 - Can I apply for citizenship now? I hear you can be out of the country for up to 12 months in the 4 years it takes to get citizenship is this correct? Also Can I apply for citizenship in Feb 2019 or because I'm out of the country for 5 months will I not be able to apply for citizenship till 5 months later i.e. June 2019? Thanks!
