Congrats to all you guys who have got their citizenship.. I was going through the website for requirements for eligibility and the documents required. Was just wondering is there any specific period ones passport has to be valid before applying for citizenship. If a passport is valid for 6 months of a PR holder will that be considered a point for rejecting his application.

hey captain R .. long time just wanted to know how did the special residence requirement turn out for you.. I intend to apply on the same lines

Hi please see below link directly from the govt website. His time would be counted but his families time would not be counted.. He requires a seatime of 24 months. while he is away his family needs to stay in oz to be able to apply for their citizenship.. alternatively they can seek extension for their pr or come on a family visa once he has his citizenship. https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/citi/appl/what-documents-do-you-need/variation-to-the-residence-requirement quote: Requirement: To meet the special resident requirement, you must have been living in Australia on a valid visa which allows permanent residency for two years immediately before you apply. During those two years you must have been lawfully present in Australia for at least 180 days, including at least 90 days of that time in the 12 months immediately before lodging your application.

Congrats Best regards Nick

Your COR is a document amsa gives based on your existing COC.. ON your coc it's not endorsed it's only fit to sail on tankers... So your other dc and chemical endorsements are invalid. ... GMDSS you will have to pay for because it's a part of your COC... Still better I would email amsa with my exact query and phone them and confirm the same... Best regards Nick

Getting it under a year is a really good time frame Best regards Nick

Congrats that was pretty quick Best regards Nick

Dhawal di you reside in Singapore? ?? Best regards Nick

If you are holding an indian passport your pcc will be done by any police station. . Wrt Hong Kong when I applied it was only their form some finger prints and a demand draft. .. You can call up Hong Kong and ask them. .. Best regards Nick

It will be safer to obtain the pcc from all the flags that you have sailed on Best regards Nick

It says same employer on a merchant ship.. So this applies even if you are working on a merchant ship Best regards Nick

If its been more than 2 months you can contact amsa and get to know where your application has reached Best regards Nick
