<blockquote rel="kangarookoala"> But for the kids... Age 6 and 8... Can i include them in my application for citizenship kahit wala sila in au like in a year sometimes they come mga 2x if school holiday sa pinas to visit me.

yes from what I know, sinama ko kasi sa application yung anak ko pero inde nya na satisfy yung 2 year residency ( 2 years lang ang requirement noon )

@JCsantos clarify ko lng po.. So na grant naman citizenship ng kids nyo kahit hindi nila na satisfy yung requirement na 2 yrs. ? So ok lng isama sa application? Thank you sa input!

Currently, 1 year in au lng as pr yung residency requirement prior to eligibility.

Yan kasi main concern ko if the kids who are in pinas can also get citizenship. I know on my own i can satisfy whatever requirement that would be asked. If pwdi naman ma include yung mga kids mas mabuti if not then as early as now dapat nandito na sila pero ang hirap kasi full time ako working and 2 school age kids will not be easy in au on my own.

Yes na grantan sya, yes isama mo sya sa application mo

you can do that, but I believe there are complications.

Pag naging AU citizen sila, matik hindi na sila Pinoy.
They cannot use their PH passport when entering Oz again, since they are already Oz citizen.
Pero wala silang Oz passport.
You can apply for Australian passport for them but again I don't know how hard or easy it would be.

Ito sabi sa nasusulat, basa...

People trying to enter Australia as an Australian citizen but without an Australian passport face difficulties and delays. The Australian Passport Office provides more information.

If I were you, I would suggest, kung magiging citizen ka na at mga anak mo, bago ka manumpa o kung anuman, papuntahin mo muna sila sa Oz. Pag citizen na kayo, apply kayo ng Oz passport. Then apply dual tapos balik Pinas.

Goodluck.

Thanks sa mga input. Ok noted. i will figure out paano ung passport kung anuman i think we can manage a month or 2 here in au while waiting for passport or decision. Basta importante masama ko sila sa application. Salamat uli!😉

<blockquote rel="wizardofOz">i think that's also one of the purpose kaya 5 years ang validity ng PR visa... so we can freely move.

Oz is expecting that in a span of 5 years your still "settling-in” (nag-iipon, inaayos ang pamilya, etc..), then after that period you will be staying for good until you acquire citizenship

</blockquote>

but I understand this will delay your citizenship dahil may residency requirements po. sa sample mentioned by icebreaker kasi, after IED, umalis sa Au, then bumalik sa Au noong 1 week nalang bago mag-expire ang 5-year PR visa niya

Yes, its kind of pushing-out your eligibility to apply for citizenship..

Pero the way I see it is more of, you are losing your "benefit" of still being able to enter/exit multiple times (should not exceed more than 12 months cumulative) without needing an RRV, while satisfying the residency requirement of the citizenship application...

After ng PR visa expiration, sa loob ng 4 years that you are satisfying the residency requirement, need pa ng RRV kung lalabas ng Oz..
