Guest boomerangpommie Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 You need to be a permanent resident in Australia for four years before you can become a citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernbird Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Good morning all, My hubby and I are here on a 457 company sponsorship visa. How long do we have to wait before we can apply for citizenship? Thanks in advance Lisa :wink: You need to get a PR visa first. They you have to gain 4 years of lawful residence which can be up to 3 years of temporary residence but the last 12 months before applying for citizenship has to be as a PR. The new rules at least count your temporary residence towards your 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
