goliveira Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi, I passed my citizenship test on 7 April 2021, and, last week, I moved to a suburb within the City of Yarra, VIC. I am aware that the City of Yarra is no longer allowed to hold citizenship ceremonies, but I have no idea where they would be booking the ceremonies for its residents. Has anyone in this forum been recently invited to a ceremony while residing anywhere in the City of Yarra? (Richmond, Cremorne, etc.) If so, was it a presential or online ceremony? If presential, where was it? Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan241 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I'm in a similar boat, I received approval 29th April 2021 and I live in the city of yarra but can't find any information on where the ceremony would be or any kind of timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Why not give the council a call and ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because councils can't answer these questions, not even the ones that are still hosting the ceremonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Mine did, they told me when and where the next ceremonies were planned. They do rely on a list from immigration of people eligible and confirmed I was on the list and would be on one of the next two ceremonies. That was a while ago in SA.

Yes, the councils that still host the ceremonies have a public schedule with all the upcoming ones, and they might even confirm if your name is on the list if it's close to the date and they already have the list; however, the City of Yarra does not have a schedule and does not receive a list because they do not host ceremonies, ever. Hence, there's no way for someone who lives in the City of Yarra to know when their ceremony will be or in which council, since it will surely not be in the City of Yarra.

rammygirl Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Fair enough but you did say not even councils who host ceremonies can tell you. I would have thought they would know where their residents are usually invited for the ceremony though, presumably a bigger neighbouring council. Have you asked your local councillor, you never know they might be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJosh Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 @goliveira @Dan241 Can you please let me know which council you been invited to for the citizenship ceremony and how long does it take since approval? I've been waiting 4 months since the approval and unable to find any info. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
