Citizenship Ceremony

Post by kindle » Mon Apr 01, 2013 8:26 pm

Hello every one

I will attend my citizenship ceremony soon. Could you please tell me how long roughly the ceremony will take? I need to arrange my work that day. I am not sure if I need to ask for one day off or just two hours off? It takes 15 minutes walking to the town hall from my work place.

Thanks in advance.

I would plan for 2-3 hours but checking with the council would be a better option.

Thanks CR001. Yes probably taking the day off is a good idea. I have been thinking about that I can't enjoy the ceremony if I worry about my work.

Thanks ban.s. I rang the council this morning asking how many new citizens will attend the ceremony. The lady said 'there are 25 so far' and she said it will take about 30 minutes. Anyway I will try to ask for one day off to enjoy to my heart's content.
