New Zealand’s Migration Policy Is Looking Great This Year! A Genuine Springboard to Australian PR → New Zealand Citizens Can Convert Directly to Australian Citizenship
On 22 April this year, the New Zealand and Australian governments announced a plan: from 1 July, New Zealand citizens who have lived in Australia for four years or more and arrived after 2001 can apply for Australian citizenship directly. New Zealanders will no longer need to obtain Australian PR first before becoming eligible for Australian citizenship—a change that will directly affect roughly 350,000 New Zealanders living in Australia.
