@fgs thank you. sana di magka problema ung NSO na gagamitin ko which is 10years old na. another questionn baka lang may naka experience ng ganitong scenario. ung PR ko is na grant outside Australia and it took me 6 months before nag first exit ako ng Australia. kakailanganin ko pa ba kaya ung penal clearance certificate? umpisa naba ung bilang on the date na na grant ung PR ko or umpisa ung bilang to when I first entered Australia? sobrang nacoconfused talaga ako dito sana may maka help. Thanks in advance ulit.

Saan ka ba nagstart ng count mo ng 4 years towards don sa req for citizenship? Your count should be from the initial entry not when ur visa was granted. If naginitial entry ka lang for few days tapos umuwi ka muna for 6 mos, then counted na yan towards the 4 years citz req at need mo to provide PCC.

Hello!!!
tanong lang po, tungkol sa citizenship application.
1. yong National Identity Card po ba ay pwedeng birth certificate? o iba na po to?
2. If birth cert, yong reference no/ID no ba yong Local Registry No?
Salamat po!

@fgs noted sir.
Additional question pa uli haha.
Need ba ilagay lahat ng travel outside australia since turning 18 or only those after ma grant ang PR visa?
Need ba ilagay details lahat ng immediate family: parents, siblings dun sa section na yun kahit di sila kasama sa application(confirm ko lang kahit nailagay ko na)

Hello everyone! Happy 2020! Bago lang po ako dito sa thread, as in magsisimula pa lang ng application, and also first post of the year ito dito.
Sa part na "family name" and "given names" pa lang naconfuse na ako. Kailangan ba isama din sa given names yung middle name ko (as shown in pinas passport, bale maiden name ko) or yung mismong pangalan ko lang ba dapat? salamat po sa sasagot! I still have a long way to go! Goodluck po sa lahat ng applications!
