801 to citizenship, what is the process?

amb1311 · Feb 7, 2021

Hi all, I need some advice. I did post this in the citizenship thread a few weeks ago but didn't receive a response so thought id try again. I am a PR (801 partner visa) and I am eligible to apply for citizenship in February. I used a migration agent for my 801 visa and I really have no idea what the next stage in other than I am eligible to apply for citizenship in February 2021.
Where do I begin? What is the process involved? What is the total cost? Do I need a migration agent again or not? Sorry I have no idea i am totally clueless!

You're unlikely to need an agent if it's a standard application. All info is here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/become-a-citizen

So I just apply when I'm eligible? Do you just fill out a form and provide the required documents? And then eventually you are invited for an interview?

Hi amb1311, before you apply for citizenship you need to check if you meet the residence requirement. I believe the Home Affairs website has a residence calculator (I can't post links because I'm a new forum member - but just google "citizenship residence calculator" and it should turn up).

Download form 1300t and use it as a guide for an online application.
