Steps of Australian immigrants' quick naturalization

First, submit the application form and make an appointment for the exam:

You can submit an application form and make an appointment for the exam by applying in writing. After receiving your application, the Immigration Bureau will inform you of the time and place of the exam. The interval is usually about half a month to three months.

If the exam is coming, but you don't feel ready, you can apply for an extension. Note that when submitting the application form and making an appointment for the exam, you must have met the requirements of living in Australia, and you cannot make an appointment for the exam in advance.

Second, the interview and examination:

On the day of the naturalization test, because you need to register in English and answer questions about your identity certificate, this is not only to reconfirm your identity and qualifications, but also to make an appointment, so please remember to bring your identity certificate and appointment confirmation letter. The letter of appointment lists the required identification materials in detail, and the requirements are originals or public documents. The required materials are: birth certificate, passport and two other identity documents (such as driver's license, bank card and student ID card) with photos, signatures and residence addresses. ).

If you can't provide these materials, please contact the Immigration Bureau before the exam to see if you can provide other materials instead. In addition, the materials provided must be in English; If the original is not in English, it needs to be translated by an Australian certified translator. For those who cannot take the naturalization test, an interview may be arranged. This interview is to tell you that you know the nature of citizenship application, have basic knowledge of English, and understand the rights and obligations of Australian citizens.

Third, apply for naturalization:

The materials required to apply for naturalization are:

(1) When you pass the naturalization test, you can get a serial number;

(2) Original passport;

(3) No criminal record certificate in China;

(4) Two bank cards with names can prove your identity;

(5) photos signed by JP (friends who apply for naturalization six months after the exam must have photos and JP signatures, and friends who apply for entry immediately after the exam can ignore this item);

(6) The application fee is $260.

Four. Ratification:

After submitting the application, the next step is to wait. Some will pass on the spot, others will have to wait a week to pass, and then they will receive a confirmation letter from the immigration office. A letter will be sent to inform the swearing-in ceremony time; The waiting time for naturalization is generally 3 to 6 months, and notice is usually received 3 weeks before the date of holding.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) oath:

The swearing-in ceremony usually lasts about two hours. Children under the age of 16 included in the parents' application do not need to attend the naturalization ceremony. They can become Australian citizens at the same time as their parents.

Six, get a passport:

When you know the specific time of your naturalization, you can make an appointment at the post office the day after your naturalization. You usually need to make an appointment at the nearest post office. The materials to be prepared are:

(1) citizenship card;

(2) Existing passport and photocopy, or birth certificate;

(3) driver's license, credit card or other bank card;

(4) Provide photos and forms signed by the guarantor;

(5) The application fee is 226 Australian dollars.

Australia is one of the best in the world in terms of living environment, education level and social medical benefits. Immigrating to Australia and getting an Australian green card is definitely your wisest choice.

Extended Reading: Social Taboo of Australian Immigrants

First, daily conversations with Australians are taboo.

At home, it is common to make loud noises in public places, and many people in China don't think so. But if domestic investors live in Australia, this habit needs to be corrected. Australians are very polite and pay attention to the etiquette in public places. They never make noise in public places.

In addition, Australians think rabbits are unlucky animals and have very special taboos on rabbits. Therefore, after immigrating to Australia, try to avoid mentioning rabbits when talking to Australians, and talk more about sports, travel and what you have seen and heard in Australia.

Second, immigrants should know the taboo of meeting each other.

Australians usually shake hands when they meet. But when some close women meet, they kiss each other's faces instead of shaking hands. Because Australians' first names come first and their surnames come last. Therefore, in Australia, when addressing others, you should say your last name first, and then connect with miss, Mr. or Mrs. ... acquaintances can call each other nicknames.

Australians are easy-going and have a strong sense of time. Punctuality in dating and not contacting in advance are taboos in Australia.

Third, Australian immigrants should know etiquette taboos.

In social situations in Australia, small gestures such as stretching and yawning are forbidden. Besides, many Australian men don't like hugging each other or hugging each other tightly.

Fourth, Australian business etiquette taboos

Like many western countries, Australia is also a country that advocates equality. Australians don't like telling others what to do with orders, and they don't like others to speak with orders.

It is worth noting that Australians have a clear distinction between public and private. Take eating with a business partner as an example. "Eating" in the Australian population is simply eating a meal, which is different from the popular table culture among businessmen in China. New immigrants should not think that having dinner with business partners will make business easier. In the eyes of Australians, business cooperation and friendship do not need to be established at the dinner table.

Therefore, when we apply for immigration to Australia, we should know more about the daily etiquette taboos of Australian natives, which will help us get along with them and integrate into local life more quickly.
