Arriving in Australia after 26 February 2001
Most New Zealand citizens, particularly those arriving after 26 February 2001, are required to apply for and be granted permanent residence in Australia if they wish to access certain social security payments, obtain Australian citizenship or sponsor their family members for permanent residence.
Under transitional arrangements, some New Zealand citizens are not affected by these changes. They include those who:
* were in Australia on 26 February 2001 as SCV holders
* were outside Australia on 26 February 2001, but present in Australia as an SCV holder for at least one year in the two years prior to that date
* have a Centrelink certificate, issued under the Social Security Act 1991, stating that they were, for the purposes of the Act residing in Australia on a particular date.
Note: These certificates are no longer issued.
Australian citizenship and permanent residence
New Zealand citizens who meet one of the transitional arrangements above continue to be treated as permanent residents for the purposes of the Australian Citizenship Act 1948 and are eligible to apply for grant of Australian citizenship, after the usual residential qualifying period.
Otherwise, a New Zealand citizen is required to first apply for and be granted a permanent residence visa before being eligible to apply for grant of Australian citizenship or sponsor non-New Zealand citizen family members for permanent residence.
Australian Permanent Residence
A range of permanent residence visas are available for New Zealand citizens in and outside Australia.
