Good Afternoon!
Magtatanung lang sa mga kumuha ng Singapore Police Clearance, paano kayo nagapply / nagrequest? via EMAIL or yun online application na nagrequire ng singpass?
Salamat sa mga sasagot!

Ah so ang critical pala sa citizenship application, is lodged to approval. Ang exam is requirement for approval lang. akala ko approval is to approve to take the test hehehe

carl6 · February 2020

Question lang po regarding lawful residence date:
_Lawful residence date
You need to know the date your 'lawful residence' started, that is, you first started living in Australia on a valid visa.

For example, you might have arrived in Australia on 1 June 2012 holding a temporary visa. Then on 4 September 2016, we granted you a permanent visa. So, your lawful residence date is 1 June 2012 and your permanent residence date is 4 September 2016._

Temporary visa same as sponsored? Pinadala kasi ako dito for 1 month nung 2014.
PR date ko kasi 2016. Considered as temporary visa yun? if yes, pwede na ako maglodge?

may ganun pala, derecho approval?

saw this..

You must understand what it means to be an Australian citizen. To assess this, most applicants will sit the citizenship test.

Some applicants do not have to sit the test

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/become-a-citizen/permanent-resident#Eligibility

Ano kayang criteria for judging nito? Parang equivalent to direct grant yung wala ng exam exam and interview.. Citizenship granted na agad

baka matagal nang eligible for citizenship (eg been PR for more than 10yrs, tapos dami na properties, dami anak/family na au citizens, tapos madami ding community involvements etc)

yup yun na ang start,

pero yung tanong mo na kung pede ka na mag apply ang sagot jan depende kung kelan nung 2016 ka nag big move, kung lumabas ka ng Australia mula nung nag big move ka, at kung gaano katagal ito.

Meron ba dito na after PR visa was issued, nag-initial entry lang, then nagwork pa outside AU for >90days... pero nung nag-apply for Citizenship hindi na ni-require magsubmit ng Police Clearance ng country where he stayed?

Nasstress kasi ako kumuha ng PCC sa Thailand, parang need ko pa actually mag-apply doon in person to ensure na makakarating sakin yung PCC ko..

@Cassey said:
@anabanana I could be wrong, may nakalagay palang “and” sa mga conditions so it seems that you have to meet the 3 conditions. They can still ask for it though during the interview or regardless of.

Taken from Immi website:
You need an overseas penal clearance certificate if:
-you lived or travelled overseas since the age of 18 years, and
-the total time you spent overseas adds up to 12 months or more, and
-the total time you spent in one country adds up to 90 days or more.
If this applies to you, provide an overseas penal clearance certificate from each country where you spent a total of 90 days or more in. We could also ask you to provide a certificate in other circumstances.

Hindi na nagmamatter kung different yung occupation mo from before, ang important is maprove mo yung ties mo with Australia.

possible ata na hndi na hingan ng PCC

@carl6 , yup tama to. if valid yung visa mo from 2014 to 2016 before ka nagrant ngPR, then pede ka na mag apply.

kung hindi naman at 1 month lng tlga yung visa mo nung 2014, then yung start ng counting mo ay from your big move date.
