Thanks everyone I actually received a response from home affairs that said I will still be able to receive an invitation to ceremony while overseas. To be clear I have already passed the test and been approved, it is only the ceremony invitation I am waiting on. 

Hi everyone

Has anyone been overseas when they received the citizenship ceremony invitation? (I’m happy to come back to Australia for the ceremony I just need to be sure they’ll still invite me if they know I’m abroad).

I was approved on 12 March (this week) but was thinking of doing a 3-6 month trip abroad soon and potentially move overseas for awhile. I want to be sure I’ll still receive the invitation because I’m happy to travel back to Australia for the ceremony (and to apply for passport). 
 

I just want to be sure they don’t put me on a list that freezes my ceremony invitation if they see that I’m out of the country or if I tell them I’ll be away for up to 6 months or more. 

I’m in city of Sydney and their website says it will be an email invitation so I shouldn’t have to worry about mailing address, however my wife will be in Australia and/or we can forward our mail to other family in Australia if needed just in case.
