As you know, in order to satisfy the residency requirement to apply for citizenship you need to stay lawfully in Australia for at least 3 years in the past 4 years....
well, if you satisfy this condition but during the year you lived outside Australia you didn't hold an Australian visa..... are you still be able to apply?
A detailed example..
A person on student visa for 3 years...
After visa expiry left Australia for 6 months then get back as a PR...
Does he only wait for one year to satisfy the residency requirements for citizenship?
Thanks
