    Ask ko lang guys, how did you put your signature inside the pdf file (citizenship application form), coz the form itself does not allow me. Thanks sa hhelp. The only thing I know is to print the form, sign it, then scan it.

    Citizenship is an indivual application except for underage children. You could have included your parents as dependents when you applied for your migrant visa. There is a parent visa you can apply but the wait is very long( i think 30years wait). The easiest would be a 3 or 5 years tourist visa but also expensive.

    @dai_yari Pwede mo silang iapply for PR, yun nga lang mamimili ka kung gagastos ka ng malaki or magaantay ka ng matagal. Meron yung permanent visa subclass 103 around $6k kaso ang waiting time is 30yrs, meron ding subclass 143 which is a permanent visa nasa $19k or yung temporary visa na 173 which is around $31k. Maraming choices actually, ilan lang yan sa mga options. Pwede rin naman silang magtourist visa na muna.

    @fgs @Cassey

    question.
    Individual application, meaning if a couple applied and granted PR visa, the other one is as dependent to the main applicant, they should apply citizenship separately once eligible?

    unlike visa, there's a main applicant and dependents and apply as one?

    TIA

    Based on the dates, he is qualified to apply in April-before July 2018(unless di sya absent for 12 mos or more in Au). The new rules was not approved sa senate kaya di naimplement which could have been effective April 2017. Nasa website ngayon na iimplement July 2018 but take note that it is still subject to legislation.

    Good evening po.
    Maginquire lang po ako sa mga nakakaalam. Magpasa po ako ng application for citizenship then gamitin konpo sana yung bank statement. Ano po ba doon sa bank statement yung NUMBER IDENTIFIER. Di po kasi kasya pag buong bsb and bank account. And wala na po akong makita doon na pwedeng maging identifier.

    Thank you po.
