Stulatics Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi all, I wondered if anyone can help with something please. I'm from Britain. At short notice (as in a couple of days!), I was invited to a citizenship ceremony in Sydney yesterday. Got it in the bag (yay!). I had a short trip to Thailand booked next month. I've been told this morning though that, as I am now a citizen, my British passport no longer has any information about my right to live in Australia! Is this correct and if so what can I do re: my holiday? I tried to ring the passport information advice line this morning but was unsuccessfully on hold for an hour! Also, I started a new job this week and wasn't expecting the invite to the ceremony at such short notice, hence I didn't contact immigration. I thought they'd give you more notice re: the ceremony! Any assistance / advice would be appreciated. I'm panicking I may have to cancel holiday... Thanks in advance, Stuart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 You'll need an Australian passport. It doesn't take long and you can apply to have it expedited at an extra cost. If you're not going o/s until next month you've got at least a week to get it but you will need to get your skates on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
