Your wife will also need to meet the citizenship requirements in her own right. If she stays outside Australia too long it will affect when she can apply for citizenship.
Does my partner need to fulfil Australian Residency requirements
Hi,
I am in Australia with my partner on permanent visa. If Immigration and Citizenship rules don't change, I will be eligible for Citizenship at the end of this year. But my wife has only been in Australia for 1.5 years (and hence doesn't fulfil the Australian Residency requirement). My question is, does she need to? Or only main applicant (myself) need to fulfil the requirement? Can she stay overseas for a period more than 90 days (because that's against Citizenship requirements)?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
