Hello Moto,

I was just wondering how long after my permanent residency was granted can I apply for citizenship ? Was it 2 or 4 years ?

Cheers guys and happy new year !!!!!!!!

Depends on when you entered as a perm resident.

If you are a perm res now then two years. At the end of Jan it might become law and be 4 years.

Australia Immigration

Hi

Basic rule of thumb at present is - you should have resided in Australia as a permanent resident for a total of at least two years in the last five years including a total of at least 12 months in the last two years.

Heres a link that will explain in much greater detail and what to do etc :

Good luck

It definitely won't be law at end-January. It might be law on 1 July 2007.
And existing permanent residents will be exempt anyway.
