Australian citizenship
Become an Australian citizen by conferral or descent. We guide you through eligibility, the residence requirement and the citizenship test.
About this pathway
Most permanent residents apply for citizenship by conferral once they meet the residence requirement. Citizenship by descent may apply to people born outside Australia to an Australian citizen parent. Conferral generally involves the citizenship test and a pledge.
Who is generally eligible?
Every case is assessed individually, but this pathway generally requires that you:
- Are a permanent resident (for conferral)
- Meet the residence requirement
- Are of good character
- Can meet the citizenship test and pledge requirements
Residence and eligibility rules change; we confirm current requirements for your situation.
