Yes

Based from what I've read...walang ganung rule. As long as you meet the criteria and the requirements to apply for citizenship.. maa-approve ka</blockquote>

Nice although other consequence I see pertaining to #1 is hindi ka nga lalabas sa Au until ma-citizen ka which is so depressing naman halimbawa may family emergency sa Pinas after your 5th year as PR. Kaya I think mas practical pa din to become Au citizen before the 5-year PR expiry. Are we in the same boat boss @wizardofOz?</blockquote>

Any insight po?

@IslanderndCity after 5 year PR visa expiry, you can stil travel in and out of Australia provided you apply for Resident Return Visa

5 year ang PR visa mo 4 year ang residency requirement for a citizenship . ... a month or two before your 4 year anniversary as a resident you can already apply for a citizenship i dont see any problem here

we did this but it was a 2 year residency that time

@IslanderndCity yes we are on the page.. I believe kaya ginawang 5 years yung validity ng PR visa is to tailor-fit na ideally you will immediately enter Oz and satisfy your 4-year pre-citizenship residency requirements, then may 1 year buffer lang for short vacations offshore and for the processing of your citizenship application..

Yung RRV lang ang option natin just in case we would like to exit and return to Oz beyond the 5-year validity of our PR visa.

In my case, I've already used up almost 1 year outside Oz so it means by the time I satisfy my 4 years residency sa Oz expired na yung visa ko.. but I still need to go out of Oz to get PCC clearances (citizenship requirement), which means I need an RRV para makabalik sa Oz...

The 'perceived' problem here is the 14 months absence in Au prior the "big move". It means the 5 years will be completed before qualifying for citizenship.

Well its just a matter of good planning ... either you take the risk of waiting for 4 years to get a citizenship and a AU passport and hope you dont need to go back to PH for emergency reason or start reading how to extend your visa

your IED was last Dec 2014 so mag 1 year in Dec 2015 yet. so you still have barely 2 months right? then your 5-year visa will expire Aug 2019 yet. so you may become Au citizen prior Aug 2019

@wizardofOz

your 5-year visa will expire Aug 2019 yet? so it means even if you apply for citizenship Mar 2019 (after complying 4-year residency), you still have 5 months to go to Pinas for emergency or to SG to get your PCC prior Aug 2019.

tama ba?

KillerQT

Is there any other criteria na tinitignan ng Australia to get the citizenship other than residency requirement?

Like income, contribution and etc.? or others that may influence the result like maybe violations. If there's any link please direct me. thank you in advance

IslanderndCity

@KillerQT related to your question is,

mayroon ba dito sa PinoyAu who applied for citizenship but was rejected?

pangrom0529

@KillerQT, they would of course check if you have any police records - federal and state-wise.

@IslanderndCity - thing with citizenship application is that unlike applying for PR, this is pretty much straight forward as long as you can be able to (1) satisfy residency, (2) keep yourself out of trouble (i.e. no criminal record) and (3) pass the examination.

Nothing too much to worry here I guess although I could be wrong...

IslanderndCity

@TasBurrfoot awesome & looking forward for it...

@KillerQT so far, I don't see any website link indicating your income & contributions to Au will affect citizenship application...

Sa pagkakaintindi ko dito is the residency starts with your initial entry but you must not be out of Oz for more than 12 months during the 4 years stay and 90 days prior the 12 moth application. Tama bang sabihin na mas maganda na mag initial entry agad as soon as possible if you intend to be a citizen soon?

@wizardofOz I think we're on the same boat here. So it is a requirement na kumuha padin ng COC sa PH and/or PCC sa SG if you had time spent in any one country for more than 90 days after you fulfilled the IED .

So let's say we fulfilled our IED this second week of Feb and stayed in SG until end of March then move to the Philippines after then go to Oz on the 1st week of June, do we still need to get COC & PCC or hindi na since we didn't spent more than 90 days on each country unless otherwise they require us?

Last question, does the same process also applies to children?

KillerQT

@TasBurrfoot

Oooppppsss... another exam. mahirap ba ang exam? I'm sure meron naman reviewers available. tama ba?

sa Singapore may exam din but they will not let you fail kasi you can retake it online at home pa.

<blockquote rel="catthsy">kapag ba australian citizen kana, madali na maapprove ang tourist visa to usa and europe?</blockquote> better than that, di ka kailangan ng tourist visa... 🙂

ulitin ko lang po ang aking katanungan. Sana maliwanagan ako 🙂)

IslanderndCity

@markbarquin I don't think na necessary pa Police clearance mo if you stay less than 90 days sa each Pinas & SG.

Regarding your children, maybe let's wait from other helpful PinoyAu folks here... 😉
