First, naturalization, the real "permanent residence" in Australia
Australia's permanent residence is valid for 5 years. After 5 years, it is necessary to change the RRV (Resident Round-trip Visa) to continue entry and exit; RRV will be renewed after expiration, and can only be renewed after living in Australia for 2 years every 5 years.
After naturalization, it's different: you don't need a visa and you can leave anytime and anywhere.
In addition, if I have a criminal record or fail the conduct test, my permanent residence visa in Australia may be cancelled and I will be deported. No matter how serious a crime a citizen commits, he will only be punished and will not be expelled.
Second, many countries around the world are exempt from visas.
At present, Australian passport holders can freely enter and leave 17 1 countries and regions, including most developed countries and famous tourist attractions. Only after naturalization can you get an Australian passport and really leave!
Now, from eight international airports in Australia, you can pass customs intelligently with passports from Australia or a few countries, eliminating a series of cumbersome procedures such as queuing for manual review.
Third, it is convenient for children to become naturalized.
If parents only live in Australia permanently, only children born in Australia can obtain Australian citizenship, and children born abroad need to apply for visas to come to Australia.
If either spouse is an Australian citizen, even if the child was born overseas, he can acquire Australian citizenship through inheritance and enjoy the same rights as a child born locally in Australia.
Like local students, the tuition fee for permanent residence in Australia is much lower than that for international students, and there are CSP (Commonwealth Funding quota) subsidies. However, only Australian citizens can apply for student loans, and only after graduation can their wages reach a certain threshold can they begin to repay the loans.
For example, in the fiscal year of 20 17-20 18, the threshold for repaying loans was 55,874 Australian dollars. If the annual income does not reach this figure, it will not be paid back this fiscal year. Even if it is realized, the proportion of repayment you need every year is not high, and it will not cause pressure on your life at all!
However, in the education reform in May 20 17, the government proposed that permanent residence in Australia would no longer enjoy CSP subsidies, and local students should be paid in full, but they can apply for student loans. But either way, citizens enjoy much more preferential treatment than Australia.
Fourth, you can work in government departments.
Only citizens can apply for jobs in some Australian government departments, especially the foreign affairs and trade departments and border departments, such as the Ministry of National Defense, the Federal Police, the border departments and the Foreign Trade Commission. In addition, Australian citizens are obliged to serve as jurors.
5. Enjoy Australian consular services overseas.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) provides consular services to Australian citizens. When Australian citizens encounter difficulties, accidents or injuries overseas, they can get all-weather consular assistance services from Australian diplomatic agencies in the host countries.
In fact, obtaining permanent residency in Australia can already enjoy many benefits, such as free medical care, free public education and employment assistance. But after naturalization, you can enjoy more benefits. No wonder Bill Gates suggested that the government directly grant nationality to international students instead of PR.
