🇦🇺 Australia · Citizenship
Australian citizenship by conferral
The main adult naturalisation route for permanent residents. Applicants generally need four years of lawful residence on valid visas immediately before applying, including the final 12 months as a PR, and must satisfy absence, character, English understanding or citizenship test, continuing residence intention and pledge requirements. PR does not automatically become citizenship.
