Moving to a different country is an exhilarating and life-changing experience. Australia and New Zealand have unique connection with cultural similarities, breathtaking natural landscapes, sports culture, and a warm hospitality of the Australian people. Becoming an Australian citizen brings numerous benefits and rights. These include the ability to vote in federal, state, and local government elections, access to government services and support, eligibility for an Australian passport, and the option to run for public office. Australian citizens also enjoy greater protection and consular assistance when traveling abroad.
From the 1st of July 2023, New Zealand citizens living in Australia will have a direct pathway to Australian citizenship. All Special Category Visa holders will be able to apply directly for citizenship without becoming permanent residents first if they meet a four-year residence and other eligibility requirements. One of the significant advantages for New Zealanders becoming Australian citizens is the opportunity to hold dual citizenship. This means individuals can retain their New Zealand citizenship while also enjoying the privileges and responsibilities of being an Australian citizen. Dual citizenship allows for greater flexibility in terms of travel, work opportunities, and maintaining connections with both countries.
If you are New Zealander and have been living in Australia for 4 years, you can start the process, which means to complete forms, provide supporting documentation, and pay the relevant fees. The application is then assessed by the Department of Home Affairs, which conducts background checks and verifies the applicant's eligibility.
