multitasking · January 2017

HI.. we are planning to apply for citizenship this year Sept 2017... My eldest daughter will be in uni Feb 2018.. so we need yung citizenship para makapag student loan sya..

question.. nasubukan nyo na ba na mag request na i expedite yung application kasi kailangan sa school?

thanks..

Totoo po ba na pwedeng mag apply ng citizenship kahit expired na ang passport mo? May kakilala po kasi ako na expired ang passport pero ayos naman. I am about to apply na kaso expired na passport ko and July pa ang renewal dito sa WA. Thanks po sa sasagot

Hi guys. been awhile na binista ko ang website na ito. naging busy sa life. Anyhoo, my sister's family is already scheduled to apply for their citizenship and namention niya yung expiry ng visa nila. napaisip ako at chineck din yung visa namin. So below are our timeline:

IED: September 17, 2014
Big move ko: July 26,2015
Big move ni hubby: September 9, 2015
Visa expiry: July 07, 2019

Now my question, ang 4 year residency ko ba will be completed on July 2019 or July 2018? since di naman ako umabot ng 12 months away from Oz.

Another question, si hubby the same din ba, 2018 ba or 2019?

if di namin nasatisfy yung 4-year residency we need to apply for an extension or renewal ng PR visa until a few months na masatisfy namin yung requirement on 2019? I'm confused. sana may sasagot. thanks!

For you is Sept 17, 2018 IF AND ONLY IF your total days aways from Australia since IED will not total into 1 year - this is inclusive of bakasyon OUTSIDE Australia after the big move.

For Hubby is Sept 17, 2018 IF AND ONLY IF his total days aways from Australia since IED will not total into 1 year - this is inclusive of bakasyon OUTSIDE Australia after the big move.

Take note that since sinagad ni hubby mo na almost one year gap between IED and big move, parang more or less wala na sya allowance for going out on a vacation... Say pupunta kayo Pinas for 2 wks sometime this year, the 4 yr residency for him will become Sept 9 2020.

i don't think a valid passport is a requirement for citizenship... You can always prove your identity via driver's license.

piglet24 · March 2017

@TasBurrfoot Thanks! Bigla naman ako naexcite kasi kala ko 2019 pa ako pwedeng mag apply. As for hubby we went for a short holiday nung January for 5/6 days. yung 6th day dating namin dito. So yun lang time na lumabas kami ng Oz. We also tried doing the calculator thing sa website, pwede nga siya magapply next year. Excited na sad kasi we were planning mag Pinas this pasko. Howell, thanks for the info!

Sa last part...
Say pupunta sila @piglet Pinas 2 weeks this year, the 4-yr residency magiging Sep 2020?

hayrOHOiro · April 2017

may mga tinamaan ba ng bagong rules dito ng citizenship application?

ako back to zero ang bilang.

July 2015 ako dumating dito under 457 visa. kakagrant lang ng PR last Feb2017. kung yun old rule ng residency requirement ang susundin, pwede na sana ako mag apply ng citizenship by Jul2019. pero ngaun sa bagong rule na dpat yung 4 years ay PR ka, by Feb2021 pa ako pwede mag apply..

IslanderndCity · April 2017

@hayrOHOiro unfortunately yes, ganoon mangyayari sa case mo PLUS other requirements like english test, etc.

Pero at least, PR na kayo. Yeheeyyyyy!

MayoMay · April 2017

so para po bang dati - 1 yr pr ka tapos 4 years na nagstay sa AU kahit labas pasok.. pwede na magapply.. yung ngayon, need 4yrs na PR straight bago makafile? owwww.. tatamaan na ba kami mga bagong PR visa mag IED palang sa June. pero Big move baka Nov. this year pa. or the new rule applies sa mga applications palang na di pa napprove bago ang changes? Feb 3 yung visa namin. pero IED sa June palang

IslanderndCity · April 2017

@MayoMay effective to anyone applying for citizenship since last week

hayrOHOiro · April 2017

@MayoMay , yun din tanong ko at hinahanap ko sa mga migration sites. kaso wala ako makita. wala kasing binanggit sa changes if yung 4 years PR ay continous at hindi pede ka lumabas ng Australia.. or same rules pa din..

muffles127 · April 2017

@hayrOHOiro kung babasahin mo yung report na nakalagay sa site ng dibp pwede ka pa din umalis basta wag lang more than 12 months in total (asa page 8 siya, number 10)

Hi @TasBurrfoot,

Anu ano mga documents yung sinubmit mo for Citizenship?

May nakalagay doon nabasa ko na Identity Declaration.
Ung picture din, need i sign ng someone na kilala ka for at least a year and dapat Aussie Citizen din. Tama ba to?

peach17 · October 2017

@TasBurrfoot COngrats sayo

peach17 · October 2017

@TasBurrfoot ahhh 2 applications ba ang need Tasburrfoot?

So magkaiba dapat kami ng Immi Account kapag mag apply kami ni husband?

Cassey · October 2017

@TasBurrfoot Hello, online application ba yung sa inyo? Yung question na about countries you’ve lived/visited in. Nilagay niyo ba since nung 18yrs old pa kayo? Nakakalito kasi sabi sa ibang site eh yung for the past 10yrs lang na travel. Thank you.

IslanderndCity · November 2017

Madami na nagmamadaling nag-apply for citizenship ngayon

It's good baka mabago pa rule nila soon

nalooka · November 2017

Question sa "Evidence of first arrival in Australia" section ng application... as PR ba o very first arrival?

Nag tourist visa kasi ako nung 2011 but 2013 yung first arrival as PR. Yung passport details ko ba nung 2011 ang ilalagay ko o yung first arrival as PR? magkaibang passport kasi yun.

Thanks in advance!

Kung naulit na po itong tanong na to, please pakibigay na lang po sakin yung link. Thanks
