Elfa Member Member # 5	Posted October 02, 2001 03:05 PM Hi Joby If you apply for permanent residency in Australia you DO NOT lose the citizenship you currently hold. If you decide to apply for Australian citizenship (i.e. after several years of living in Australia, taking an exam, etc.) then you may need to give up your current citizenship. Hope this helps!

Hi Joby

If you apply for permanent residency in Australia you DO NOT lose the citizenship you currently hold. If you decide to apply for Australian citizenship (i.e. after several years of living in Australia, taking an exam, etc.) then you may need to give up your current citizenship.

Hope this helps!
