Perminent residency/citizenship question
Hi everyone,
I've been looking around online trying to find out if it would be possible to become an Australian citizen after 5 working holiday visas, 5 years in the country.
Is there a limit to the amount of WHV's you can do which would prevent this?
I don't think with my profession (photographer) i would be eligible for any other visas.

No you wouldn't be able to get citizenship if you could get 5 WHV's, which you can't. If you did 3 months specified regional work, it is possible to get a second WHV but that's the max. To become a citizen you would need to be in country on a PR visa.
The place to check for your occupation is on the official lists - Google should be able to find them for you.

You cannot get citizenship. You would need to be on a Permanent Residence visa.
