Becoming a citizen by conferral is a common way to become an Australian citizen. You need to be a permanent resident and meet certain criteria before you can apply.
You could be eligible for Australian citizenship by descent if you were born outside Australia and one (or both) of your parents at the time of your birth was also an Australian citizen at that time.
An Australian citizenship certificate is an official document. It shows that a person is an Australian. You can get a certificate if you meet our requirements. We can reissue a certificate that is incorrect.
In Thapa v Minister for Immigration [2021] FCCA 686, the Federal Circuit Court clarified that subclass 189 visa applicants with expired skills assessments can still qualify if they obtain a new assessment within the 60-day invitation period. The Department of Home Affairs had refused the applicant’s visa because their assessment was not valid on the invitation date, but the court ruled that “at the time of invitation” includes the full 60-day period.
This decision provides flexibility, allowing expired assessments to be updated within the 60-day invitation window.
