alexamae · August 2018

hello @Cassey san mo yan malalaman?

Cassey · August 2018

@alexamae Hi, Google mo “Citizenship Processing Timeline”, may forums na magaappear. Nakita ko for NSW eh November applicants na. Sa Victoria eh nasa October pa lang. Tagal eh noh?

alexamae · August 2018

@Cassey Matagal nga hehehe di pa din pala aabot. Sa October/November mag eexpire na ang PR ko, kailangan ko ng resident return kasi sa December may travel kami huhuhay

Ganitong ganito case namin. Nung April lang kami nakapag submit pero may uwi kami to PH in December. So need to cop that Resident Return Visa of around $400 per person. huhu.

Cassey · August 2018

@alexamae Kapag magtatravel kayo be sure to get a Resident Return Visa para di kayo magkaproblema kapag babalik na kayo ng Au.

Cassey · August 2018

@mhej Sayang nga $400 ano, kaso laking aberya din kapag hindi ka kumuha ng RRV. Pwede kang ihold sa immigration.

alexamae · August 2018

Thanks @mhej @Cassey

Ano bah yan ang mahal hahaha

Yes i'm going back to the Philippines once i get my citizenship to "reflect" hahahah. My main purpose of migrating actually is to get an australian passport. I have some business ties back home to consider.

I've been lurking in online forums and found out citizenship approval is so quick but waiting for ceremony takes ages. Oath taking date usually comes from the city council and lucky enough if you live in a suburb that holds ceremony every month.

Congrats Ren, you got the approval after few hours of passing the test. San ako rin hehehe.

Hi @pissedball, I want to accomplish a similar setup as you. Once I get citizenship (2 years pa ang antayan before I am eligible), I plan to spend 50-50 of my time in PH then AU, ie 6 months each. Just wondering if you don't mind me asking, how has it been with your setup of having your business in PH, do you still come to AU? Any complications with this type of setup based on your experience, like AU revoking the citizenship or vice-versa?

hi @TasBurrfoot, it crossed my mind but I have not had a chance to research about taxes when earning in two places. My uneducated guess would be you pay taxes to the of the country where you earned the salary? ATM, I am PR and only earning / paying taxes in AU, I don't know yet how complicated it will be when I get dual citizenship...
