<blockquote class="Quote" rel="Ian-yan">@fgs Ask ko lang po, kelan po navovoid ang Ph passport? Once na makapasa sa citizzenship test or once na mag oath taking?

You will only become australian citizen upon taking the oath..ceremonies usually scheduled within 6 months upon approval of your application...kahit na pumasa ka na at wala pa oathtaking at gusto mo umuwi, you can do that as long as valid ang Ph passport mo. If you are away and ready ka na to be invited, pwede ka nila email to return or you can give them your travel sked. Sa assessment ko, medyo vague kasi how the Ph passport be voided kasi di naman natin ito dadalhin to the embassy para talaga mavoid nila. I guess pwede ka pa din umuwi on Ph passport kahit nakaoath ka na kasi di naman matrace ng phil immigration. Ang problema lang pagbalik mo na gamit mo ang Ph passport pagbalik kasi makikita na nila sa system na Au citz ka na at di na nakalink Ph passport mo sa PR visa mo dati. Au passport can be obtained in less than 2 days using yong express processing nila. You can apply immediately after the ceremony. You just need the citizenship certificate as one of the requirements.
