Am I right in saying that when you become an Aussie Citizen, all other Visa'a that you have are cancelled

My mate is goin for citizenship ceremony tomorrow and then off on holiday for a month on Sunday....they are on PR at the moment

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

Yes the Visa gets cancelled, this happened to some of our friends, who had to delay their citizenship until they got back off hols:ohmy:

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

HHHEEEELLLPPPP!!!! lol

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

Oh dear :ohmy: Have you told them yet :D

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

aye lol looks like the citizenship ceremony will get cancelled

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

well they r still going for the citizenship ceremony so who knows what hassles they will have on their return....I did warn em

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

In the interests of research for the next time it's asked, could you let us know what happens? ;)

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

She phoned Brissy airport and asked them what would happen....they advised them to take photocopies of their citizenship certificates and all would be fine........however Im not so sure it will be that simple

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

OK
I went back to UK on my UK passport - and I didn't realise that my Perm visa had been cancelled as my citizenship ceremony had taken place.

I was stopped at Sydney airport and asked if I had become a citizen. I replied yes why? because your visa has been cancelled. I was asked to produce my Oz passport - which I had applied for but didn't have with me as it came after I had departed.

I was let through after they did a little bit of checking up - no dramas :thumbup:

EXCELLENT THANKS FOR THAT

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
 

Proof of Citizenship (papers) or an ID number is normally sufficient in these circumstances or calling Immigration and informing them of your flight details (re-entry) and ID and that will suffice also - get a name and reference number if you can.

Pollyana : wanted to say how transparent and balanced your interview came across - I thought you were excellent and very honest in your responses to the questions, which gave a great perspective on the perception when moving to Australia - well done !
