Has any body any information re applying for a anniversary card from the Queen for UK citizens living in Australia but not Permanent Residents.

Just says you need to be a Commonwealth citizen, which you are if yiu are a UK citizen, temporarily in Australia.

Australian residents need to apply via the Governor-General.

Certainly looks that way for PR and citizens, I jusy wasn't sure whether that would apply for temporary residents too? Not knowing precisely which temp visa doesn't help of course, could be anything from a tourist visa upwards!

OP gets a prize for a question never asked on here before, anyway!

You’ve answered too many immigration questions

They are not going to care whether you’re a PR or not. Immigration status won’t be a concern.

There you go then, OP, apply via the Governer General's Office

And the bonus will be that not only will you get a card from the Queen you will also get one from the GG!

Thanks for replies. The way I understand then is that UK citizens but not PR living in Australia should apply directly to the Anniversary Office in Buckingham Palace.

See BiPs words at Post 5 above - visa status is irrrelevant, its where you actually LIVE, if you live in Australia, use that link via the Governer General's Office. Apply direct if you live in the UK.

Thanks all, will get our daughter to sort it for us. Will reach that milestone on Nov 1st this year and she is much more savvy than us now !!
