Wanderer Returns Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Immigration Minister Alex Hawke on Thursday announced the standard fee for Australian citizenship by conferral will rise by 72 per cent from $285 to $490 from 1 July. Thought I'd just add that so everyone else who reads this post doesn't need to Google it too  A big price-hike indeed, but compared to the $2,434 fee (current exchange rate) to become a British citizen it seems like an absolute bargain!

Jack91 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Woweeee genuinely can't see why there is a need for an increase, got to pay the public servants pensions some how I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North to South Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hi, appreciate some guidance on what the current eligibility is in order to apply for citizenship so I know whether I can apply to avoid fee increase ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. You have to have lived in Australia for 4 years, with at least one year as PR and with no more than a total of one years absence and no more than 90 absence in the year prior to applying. Or something. There is a calculator online somewhere.
