Hello everyone

I was wondering whether it is possible to get a dual citizenship in Australia.
I have read on a couple of websites that you can't and vice versa on other.

Thanks for any help !

You need to get yourself a visa and qualify for citizenship first, then it may be possible to hold dual citizenship. What are your existing citizenship(s) and do you hold an Aussie visa?

Hi Pollyana
Currently have a British passport and no not yet we are looking to move over in the next year and just want to make sure that i know exactually what i need and can do over there

Have a read of www.citizenship.gov.au - that will tell you how to qualify for citizenship. And yes, British citizens (with maybe a few exceptions - disclaimer) can hold dual citizenship with Australia

This is interesting; whilst I would ideally like to settle in Australia and become a citizen, I still value my UK citizenship. Interesting to know that I could have both, thinking of children etc.

Neither country requires you to relinquish your other citizenship(s), so you're in the clear here. If you become an Australian citizen other than by descent (which seems to be the case here) and come from the UK (born there as well) then you could even be looking at a third passport for your future child as some countries will entitle a child to citizenship on the basis of being born there. How does Canada sound?

Keep in mind that if your children are born outside the UK then their kids will have to be born in the UK or else British citizenship will not be passed on (unless via the father).
