Nov2017 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi guys I'm just wondering if I can apply for citizenship when I'm overseas? Just did a bit of research but still a bit unsure and worried... I just need to travel abroad for a few weeks and unfortunately it involves the date that I'm planning to apply for citizenship. Hopefully I don't have to wait til I'm back in Australia and I can just lodge my application online while overseas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenelg Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) i did the same and that delayed the process at least 3-4 months. They send your application to overseas citizenship department in Canberra which asks you the reason of applying overseas and lots of overseas citizenship application stuff which is irrelevant to you. Then you write back to convince them to send your application back to regular processing department , because you are already back in Australia.

Nov2017 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Thanks for your reply! I guess it might be even quicker if I lodge my application after I come back to Australia then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
