Application process for Australian citizenship

호주 시민권 신청 프로세스

There are 10 steps in the application process.

The time it takes to apply for and be granted Australian citizenship varies. The Client Service Charter provides details on the service standard for processing an application for Australian citizenship.

Are you eligible?

Step 1. Determine that you are eligible to apply

스텝1. 신청하는데 자격이 되는지 확인부터 하기

In general, to apply for citizenship you will need to:

• be a migrant who is a permanent resident
• satisfy the residence requirement
• be likely to reside, or to continue to reside, in Australia or to maintain a close and continuing association with Australia
• be of good character if you are 18 years of age or over.

Step 2. Ensure you meet the residence requirement

스텝2. 거주 조건을 만족시켜야함

The residence requirement is based on the time you have lived in Australia and the time you have spent outside Australia.

You must:

• have been living in Australia on a valid Australian visa for four years immediately before applying which must include the last 12 months as a permanent resident, and
• not have been absent from Australia for more than one year in total, in the 4 year period, including no more than 90 days in the year before applying.

 -그 4년중에 다합쳐서 1년이상 호주밖으로 나가있으면 안됨. 시민권신청 직전의 마지막1년동안에는 90일이상 국외에 나가있으면 안됨

The Residence Requirement Calculator can help you calculate whether you meet this requirement.

Under certain circumstances the residence requirement may be varied. 

 

Step 3. Prepare for your citizenship test or interview

여기도 체크리스트있음. 도움받기! 온라인 어플라이 가능.

 

Step 6. Lodge your application form

스텝6. 신청서 제출 

Making an application in Australia

Apply online or post your paper application to your nearest departmental office. Whether you apply online or on a paper application, you must attach certified copies of your identity and other documents. Do not post original documents with your application.

You will then need to bring your original documents with you to your citizenship appointment. You must also bring a completed Identity declaration and correctly endorsed photographs for yourself and any children included in your application.

Read the information about the application fee and how to pay it before lodging your application. In some circumstances, it is not possible to lodge your application online, for example, if you are seeking a fee concession or exemption.

온라인으로 신청가능 . 아니면. 근처 이민성 오피스로 종이서류 부치는것도 가능하다.

온라인으로 하든 종이서류로 신청하든, 내 신상과 다른서류들은 원본이 아닌 공증받은 복사본을 보내야한다!!

시민권관련 약속잡을때는 내 원본들을 가져가야 될것임.

 

Making an application outside Australia

The Overseas Citizenship Unit in Australia processes applications for citizenship made by applicants outside Australia. If you are overseas when applying for citizenship, you can apply online or lodge a paper application.

Certified copies of all the required documents need to be attached to your application. Send your paper application to the Overseas Citizenship Unit at the department's ACT and Regions Office in Australia. Do not post original documents.

Read the information about the application fee and how to pay it before lodging your application. In some circumstances, it is not possible to lodge your application online, for example, if you are seeking a fee concession or exemption.

호주 밖에서 신청하기? 패스.

 

Step 7. Attend your citizenship appointment

스텝7. 내 시민권 관련 약속에 출석해야함 

After the department receives your application, you will be invited to a citizenship appointment. We will send you a letter with your appointment details and further information.

At your appointment, an authorised officer will check your original documents and verify your identity. You will also take a citizenship test or have an interview, whichever applies.

You must bring your original documents to your appointment.

Your application may be refused if you do not attend your appointment.

Allow up to two hours for your appointment.

이민성이 내 신청서 받고 나서는, 우린 시민권 appointment 에 초대될것이다. 이민성에서 appointment 관련 디테일과 관련 정보들을 편지로 보내줄것임

appointment 에서는, 심사관이 내 오리지날 서류들을 체크할것이고, 내 신원증명을 하게됨. 또한! 시민권 테스트 혹은 인터뷰를 받게 될거임 ....ㅎㅎ

반드시 반드시  원본서류를  내 약속잡힌날에 가져갈것

보통..... 2시간정도 걸린다고 보면됨.

 

Step 8. Take the citizenship test or have a citizenship interview

스텝8. 시민권 시험 or 시민권 인터뷰 보기

You are usually required to take a citizenship test if you are aged 18 years and over and under 60 years of age. The citizenship test is designed to encourage you to find out more about life in Australia and what it means to be an Australian citizen. It will test your understanding of the responsibilities of citizenship as well as the rights that you will enjoy once you become a citizen. All the questions in the test are based on the testable information in Australian Citizenship - Our Common Bond.

Read more about the Australian Citizenship Test.

If you are not required to sit the test you may have a citizenship interview. At the interview we will confirm that you understand the nature of your citizenship application, have a basic knowledge of the English language and understand the responsibilities and privileges of Australian citizenship.

앉아서 시험보게 되거나, 아니면 인터뷰 보게 되는것임.  시민권에 대한 이해와 책임들 그리고 권리 :)

Step 9. Receive notification of the department's decision

스텝9. 이민성의 결정에 대한 통보 받게 될거임 

A decision on your application for citizenship can only be made after you have lodged a completed application together with the required original documents and fee.

The Client Service Charter provides details on the service standard for processing an application for Australian citizenship. If you do not receive notification within the time given in the charter you should contact the Citizenship Information Line on 131 880.

You must tell the department if you change your address, and you must be in the country at the time a decision is made. You may need to defer your travel plans or, if your travel is urgent contact the department for advice.

Your ceremony

정해진 기간내에 통보못받을경우 131 880 에 전화해서 물어봐야댐!!

집주소 변경될경우 반드시 반드시 이민성에 말해야한다!

결정내려질때 반드시 나는 이 나라에 있어야함.

여행계획이있다면 연기하고... 반약 정말 긴급한 여행일경우는 이민성에 조언 구할것!

 

Step 10. Attend a citizenship ceremony

스텝10. 시민권 세레모니에 참석하자~~ :) 

When you receive notification that your application has been approved, you will usually need to attend a citizenship ceremony and make the Australian Citizenship Pledge. This completes the process of becoming an Australian citizen.

Generally, it takes three to six months from the time your application is approved to be invited to attend a citizenship ceremony, but waiting times between local councils can vary.

If you have children under 16 years of age who were included on your application form they will become Australian citizens when you make the Pledge.
