What are the requirements for Australian citizenship?

Many people want to become Australian citizens for their children's education and living environment. So what are the requirements for applying for Australian citizenship? Let me tell you something about Australian naturalization conditions.

Basic conditions for applying for Australian citizenship

1. As a permanent resident of Australia, you have permanent resident status.

2. Residence time requirements for naturalization:

(1) has lived in Australia for four years before the application, and has PR status in at least one of these four years (i.e. 12 months);

(2) The total time to leave Australia in these four years shall not exceed one year, and the time to leave Australia in the year of applying for naturalization shall not exceed 90 days.

(3) Before becoming a permanent resident, the residence time in Australia as a temporary resident (such as a student visa) can be recognized and included in the new residence requirements, and the residence time of a temporary resident of up to three years can be recognized. In other words, you have lived in Australia as a temporary resident for three years before becoming a permanent resident. After obtaining permanent resident status, you can apply for citizenship after living for one year.

In order to be able to speak and understand basic English, the applicant must attend the interview and be able to talk about the obligations and rights of Australian citizens in English.

4. To understand the obligations and rights of Australian citizens, the Australian Immigration Bureau will provide relevant English materials for applicants to recite before applying.

5. Good conduct.

6. If you plan to live in Australia or maintain close ties with Australia, children under the age of 16 can be included in the naturalization application of either parent without meeting the residence requirements.
