The final legal step in your Australian migration journey is to become a citizen of Australia.
Applying for Australian citizenship is the process by which a non-Australian citizen voluntarily acquires Australian citizenship. There are several ways to become an Australian citizen, each with its own set of requirements. Conferral and descent are the most common ways of application.
At JL Hallam & Partners, our experienced visa and citizenship lawyers stay up-to-date with the latest citizenship laws and regulations, ensuring that our clients receive the most current and reliable information. We will guide you through the process, address any questions or concerns you may have, and provide the support you need to make your Australian citizenship dreams a reality.
Obtaining citizenship via conferral is a common method of becoming an Australian citizen. Before you can apply, you must be a permanent resident and meet certain criteria.
To be eligible, you must be a permanent resident or a New Zealand citizen, as well as meet the residence and character requirements. In most circumstances, you must be in Australia at the time the Department makes its decision, have spent time here and be able to pass a citizenship test.
