Citizenship Application
The Australian citizenship application is available to permanent residents wishing to settle and keep a close link to the country by committing to Australia’s values and laws in order to receive the multiple benefits of Australian education and lifestyle.
Australian citizenship can be obtained by descent or by conferral.
Processing Times: Vary (24 to 30 months, approx.)
Citizenship Application Eligibility
In order to be eligible for the citizenship, you must:
- be a permanent resident or a New Zealand citizen
- meet the residence requirement
- meet character requirement
- prove some knowledge of Australia
- meet the language requirement

In most cases, applicants to the Australian citizenship are asked to attend to an interview and sit the citizenship test, as part of the process; and if successful, they will receive the invitation to the citizenship ceremony where they will need to make the Australian Citizenship Pledge.
