UK-ILR and applying for Australian-PR

[ns6]

Hi All

Me and my wife have our UK ILRs since 2019, however, we are now looking for upping the sticks and moving to Australia. At the moment, we have not applied for UK naturalisation and still hold our Indian passports.

Now, we have a few questions which we are hoping someone would be able to help us out with.

1. Is it possible to hold the PR of Australia and UK-ILR at the same time?
2. Is the PR tied to the person and the passport i.e. if we were to get the Australian PR based on our Indian passport, the moment I apply for UK naturalisation, the PR will cease to exist?
2. Would it be better to get naturalised here in the UK first (so that there is a fall back option, just in case things don't quite work out in Australia)?

Sorry too many questions

Cheers!

1. I am not sure why it should not be possible. If you live outside the UK for more than 2 years you lose your ILR anyway.
2. You need to check this with Australian authorities regarding what happens if you change your nationality
3. That is your call

Thank you Zimba!
