Become An Australian Citizen

Why pursue Australia Visa UAE? Australia is considered the second most liveable country in the world, according to Time magazine, but what makes it so? Some of the reasons given include safe environment for all with equal employment and business opportunities for expats and free access to first world facilities and social amenities.

Based on the statistics, there are roughly 149,020 Dubai born expats in Australia. The YoY increment has doubled between 06/07 and 09/10 with about 12,000 new additions to those given permanent residency in Australia with majority being skilled. If this trend is kept up, we may soon be seeing up to half a million expats from Dubai already living in Australia by the end of the year.

Sync visas decided to take a look into why many people are seeking to become Australian citizens and here are our findings.

According to the Australian government, becoming a citizen shows that you are committed to the country and all it stands for. Citizenship also means the beginning of your formal membership in the Australian community, a step that will qualify you to boldly say, ‘I am Australian’.

Becoming a citizen is also a privilege that comes with plenty of rewards. Not only will you be joining a unique national community, you will also be contributing to the unity and harmony of the nation even in the midst of the diversities of the culture.

Responsibilities and Privileges of Australian Citizenship

As a permanent residency permit holder in Australia, you are only allowed to enjoy living freely in a free and democratic society. However, when you take a step to become a citizen, your responsibilities will change as much as you will have new benefits.

As a citizen, you are held liable to:

-       Obey the law

-       Defend Australia when the need arises

-       Serve on a jury if and when you are called to do so

-       Vote in state and federal elections

As an Australian, you have the right to

-       Vote in state and federal elections

-       Apply for jobs in the Australian Public Service or Defence Force, (you do not need an Australia job seeker visa any longer)

-       Seek election to the parliament

-       Register kids born overseas as Australian citizens

-       Get help from Australian officials while overseas

-       Apply for Australian passport and exit and re-enter Australia freely
