A person is usually eligible for Australian citizenship after having lived in Australia as a permanent resident for a total of two years in the five years immediately before the date of application for citizehship (including at least 12 months in the two years immediately before applying). Further information about Australian citizenship can be obtained after arrival in Australia from any office of this Department, or from the Citizenship Telephone Information Line on 131880.
我想咨询的问题是如果我08年11月过去,也就是在未来三年的时间中(till Nov 28, 2011)是不是我只要累计待满2年&最后两年累计待满12个月就可以申请入籍了?最后两年是否需要连续待满12月呢还是只要累计就可以了,好像我听不同的朋友有不同的说法,请问有哪位高手可以指点一下吗?急,谢谢!
"If people became permanent residents before 1 July 2007 and apply before 30 June 2010, they must have been physically present in Australia as a permanent resident for a total of two years in the five years before applying, including one year in the two years before applying."
