basicrequest Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 For apply 820 Partner Visa, if the applicant already holding duel citizenships (for instance, gaint UK citizenship by birth and gaint Canada citizenship by naturalisation). Will Australia immigration will accept the applicant who already had duel citizenships or will it have any problem in application processing? If the applicant like to apply Australian Citizen after gaint PR, will Australia request the applicant to give up one of Citizenship due Australia only allow duel (two) citizenship?

Parley Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Australia has no restrictions on what other citizenships you may hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 If you've not done so you should check that all the other countries citizenships allow for multiple citizenships to be held or if one of them will require a citizenship to be cancelled.

Alaska Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I looked into this as DH already has 2 but can't find any restrictions. It's weird though as 2 people have told me (including one who was told by Oz immigration!) that Australia only allows you to have 2 citizenships but not more. I can't find any evidence online to back that up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I've seen that before and also checked more reliable sources and don't see any obstacle to Australia or the other countries involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinkla Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 you may hold multiple citizenships but you will have to decide which one to have your visa attached to - and that will be the passport you must use to enter and leave Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthomas010 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 you may hold multiple citizenships but you will have to decide which one to have your visa attached to - and that will be the passport you must use to enter and leave Australia Surely if you are taking Australian citizenship you would have to use an Australian passport to enter and leave the country?

benthomas010 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 citizenship comes several years after a visa grant I agree. But the question was about the application for citizenship a few years down the line...at least that's how I read it. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
