What rights do Australian immigrants have after naturalization?

Rights of Australian immigrants after naturalization

1, voting right

The difference between Australian permanent immigrants and Australian citizens is the right to vote. Of course, this is not only a right but also an obligation after becoming an Australian citizen.

After naturalization, every Australian citizen aged 18 needs to vote in any election, whether it is federal, state and territory, municipal * or referendum, which will give citizens a sense of responsibility and participation in determining the future of the country. If you don't exercise your right to vote, you will face a fine as high as 180 Australian dollars.

2. Participate in politics as a member of parliament

If all the politicians on the ballot are not satisfied, citizens can run for office by themselves. All Australian citizens aged 65-438+08 can participate in elections for local councils, state and regional councils and the Federal Parliament. It should be noted that if you want to be a federal senator, you can't have dual nationality.

3. Join the army and apply for a job by the government.

The work of many government departments does not restrict job seekers to be Australian citizens, and permanent immigrants from Australia are also allowed. However, if you want to serve in the Australian Defence Force, you must be an Australian citizen. In addition, there are other special government departments that also have this requirement, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Ministry of Frontier Defense.

4. Serve as a court juror

Being a court juror is a "grand prize" for most Australian citizens who are lucky enough to be selected one day. If they are selected, they must appear in court.

Although not everyone likes to sit in court, listen to sleepy or angry accusations and arguments and evidence presented in court, and decide whether a case is guilty or not with others, it is an obligation as an Australian citizen. Some cases will last for several weeks and must be attended. But don't worry, being a juror is paid, although it may not be much. Jurors' salaries vary from state to state.

5. Australian passport holders are exempt from visas to more than 70 countries around the world/kloc-0.

There are as many visa-free countries as 170 for Australian passports, so Australian passports have become one of the passports for traveling abroad.

6. Obtain overseas consular assistance from Australia.

Just like citizens of any country, if they encounter difficulties overseas, the Citizenship Council will provide consular assistance to Australian citizens as soon as possible. Of course, not all difficulties can go to the consulate unconditionally. Consular assistance is a privilege, not a right.

What the Australian Consulate can do is: renew passports, provide information about doctors and hospitals in emergencies, provide assistance in cases of violent attacks and other crimes, visit after arrest, provide advice after the unfortunate death of overseas relatives, and even provide emergency loans in some extreme cases.

7. Children can also become Australian citizens.

Australian citizens can register their children born overseas as Australian citizens, and they enjoy the same rights as citizens born in Australia.

8. You can apply for a college student loan.

Although Australian permanent immigrants can enjoy much lower tuition fees than international students like Australian citizens, Australian immigrants still cannot apply for university student loans. Only Australian citizens can apply for this Australian higher education loan project called HELP, which allows Australian citizens to repay their loans with a stable salary after graduation.

9. Being truly "immortal" in Australia

Of course, Australian permanent immigrants can live in Australia indefinitely, but holders of permanent residency need to renew their round-trip visas every five years if they leave Australia. In addition, if Australian immigrants have criminal records, * have the right to revoke their permanent residency and repatriate them.

10, Simplified Work Visa in the United States and Right of Residence in New Zealand

Australian citizens can enjoy all-round right of abode in New Zealand without any time limit and will not lose any rights. As an Australian citizen, if you have a professional job, you can apply for a simplified work visa to the United States.

1 1. Adopt a child

Some states and regions in Australia require both parents or at least one parent to be an Australian citizen.

Represent Australia in sports events.

Many international competitions and sports activities require that athletes representing Australia must be Australian citizens.
