What are the Requirements for Australian Citizenship

Basic Australian Citizenship Requirements

To be eligible to apply for Australian citizenship, you must have:

  • Been an Australian permanent resident for at least 1 year and lived in Australia for at least 9 out of 12 months before you apply
  • Been lawfully resident in Australia for at least 4 years before you apply
  • Not been absent from Australia for more than 12 months in the last 4 years before you apply
  • Good moral character

What happened to the proposed changes to Australian citizenship that were announced on April 20, 2017?

On October 18, 2017 the proposed citizenship changes announced by the Government on April 20, 2017 were rejected by the Australian parliament. This means that the eligibility requirements which existed prior to the Government’s announcement on April 20, 2017 will continue to apply to citizenship applications lodged with DHA.

What are the requirements for Australian Citizenship if I am a citizen of New Zealand?

New Zealand citizens are granted a Special Category visa (SCV) upon arrival to Australia. A SCV is a temporary visa but it grants the New Zealand citizen the right to live and work in Australia for the duration of their stay. The SCV automatically expires when the New Zealand citizen departs Australia.

Your eligibility as a New Zealand citizen for Australian citizenship depends on your date of arrival to Australia:

  • If you arrived before 26 February 2001 you may be eligible to apply for Australian Citizenship
  • If you arrived after 26 February 2001 you might be required to apply for permanent resident status first to be eligible for Australian Citizenship
  • If you have a CentreLink certificate issued before 26 February 2004 stating you were residing in Australia you may also be eligible to apply for Australian Citizenship

Are there special circumstances that make you eligible if you don’t meet the basic eligibility requirements?

While 90 percent of Australian applicants meet the basic requirements for citizenship, there are special circumstances that may make you eligible if you don’t meet the basic requirements. For example:

  • If you were born in Papua before 16 September 1975 and one of your parents was born in Australia or was an Australian Citizen and the time of your birth; OR
  • If you were born to a former Australian Citizen who lost his citizenship by acquiring the citizenship of another country
