KirkyG Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Can I ask a a (hopefully) related question? My family and I will be eligible for citizenship next year, having gained PR earlier this year. Do I simply apply for a AU passport, or is there a more fundamental process to follow? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 In answer to your question once you have your citizenship certificate you can then apply for your passport as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks and sorry for the incorrect posting. I guess my question then is how do I apply for citizenship? Check that you meet all the criteria and then you can either download the forms or complete them online http://www.citizenship.gov.au/applying/fees_forms_appeals/online_apps/ once they are submitted you will be given the date for your test. If you pass the test you will then wait for a letter to say you have been accepted but you need to do the citizenship ceremony as the final step. Each council is different to the length of time this takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkyG Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks Pom Queen, from the link above it looks like it will cost me and the wife $260 each (kids are free) and we'll be able to apply 4 years after the date we got our visa (as we'll have been PR for 16 months by then!!!) Thanks again. Kirky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
