@fgs Ask ko lang po, kelan po navovoid ang Ph passport? Once na makapasa sa citizzenship test or once na mag oath taking? Uuwi po kasi ako ng early April, eh ang exam ko po eh 3rd week ng February. I doubt naman po na makakuha agad ako ng Au passport (if ever pumasa) within that time frame.

You will only become australian citizen upon taking the oath..ceremonies usually scheduled within 6 months upon approval of your application...kahit na pumasa ka na at wala pa oathtaking at gusto mo umuwi, you can do that as long as valid ang Ph passport mo. If you are away and ready ka na to be invited, pwede ka nila email to return or you can give them your travel sked. Sa assessment ko, medyo vague kasi how the Ph passport be voided kasi di naman natin ito dadalhin to the embassy para talaga mavoid nila. I guess pwede ka pa din umuwi on Ph passport kahit nakaoath ka na kasi di naman matrace ng phil immigration. Ang problema lang pagbalik mo na gamit mo ang Ph passport pagbalik kasi makikita na nila sa system na Au citz ka na at di na nakalink Ph passport mo sa PR visa mo dati. Au passport can be obtained in less than 2 days using yong express processing nila. You can apply immediately after the ceremony. You just need the citizenship certificate as one of the requirements.

I am not sure kung sa canberra lang..you can check their website..di rin agad agad mo yan magawa kasi parang may sked din ng ceremony. Former filipinos naman are given 1 year stay visa sa pinas.

counted ba ang pag stay sa AU as tourist sa calculation ng residency requirements?

Dapat ba mag apply ka ng citizenship pag saktong 4 years ka sa AU or pwedeng mas maaga?

Cassey · January 2019

@ed_lupeet Dapat sakto, hindi pwedeng mas maaga kung hindi marerefuse ka. Yes pwede siyang isama as long as mamemeet niya yung conditions for Citizenship. Pwede mo siyang itry dito:

Nope not from Sg...i think naman they will initiate internally ang police check and will not ask you to provide one...anyway, the wait is very long..pwede mo lang submit application mo then apply sg pcc kung talagang gusto mo

ChidoRodgers · January 2019

@fgs thanks! Check ko other requirements

supertoblerone · February 2019

Hi,

How to apply SG PCC, or what is the process getting it from Melbourne?

Thanks

johnvangie · February 2019

Hi,

May na encounter na error si hubby sa pag lodge ng citizenship, exactly 4yrs sya dto sa Oz today 5/2, eto un error

The applicant is unable to proceed with this application. Access the Residence calculator to check when the applicant will have been in Australia long enough to be eligible for Australian citizenship.

Will try tomorrow na i continue un application kasi baka d pa nila acknowledge un 4yrs today hehehe

Pag nag error pa rin, tatawag kami.

ChidoRodgers · February 2019

@johnvangie 4yrs ago dumating ba sya with pr visa na?

echo · February 2019

Cassey · February 2019

@gerlazh Unfortunately, Walang definite na waiting time or factor for the approval. Minsan depende rin sa State. Check mo kung ano yung trend sa State kung saan ka nagapply.

Cassey · February 2019

@echo Good on you. All the best! Kindly pls add your timeline to this thread to help those who are currently waiting.

Use the George...you are required to show your birth cert when you have your interview/test...so be consistent. Di naman hihingan ng docs ang father mo..ano ba nilagay nyo sa mga previous applications nyo?

Hey guys,
Ano ba ibig sabihin ng first bullet na yan? Magdala ng three documents na may photo, signature, current address, date of birth, birth name and gender?

Godsgrace · March 2019

@fgs this is the first time palang po to apply, kasi po may choice ata dun sa fathers name, see attached screenshot, had to block some details sorry. Sabi nya i yes nya nalang. Then lumabas po ung reasons for having other names (attached din po). Sabi ko edi yan na icheck mo ung yes.
