Road To Citizenship calculates your physical presence day count from your actual passport stamps — not from estimates or memory. We confirm your PR grant date and identify any absences that affect your count. Book a free assessment and we send your eligibility date to WhatsApp within 24 hours.

Student visa time counts as lawful residence toward the 4-year total, but not as permanent residence toward the 1-year PR requirement. Many Indian migrants in Adelaide make the mistake of counting from their student visa start date rather than their PR grant date.

Yes. India is a required country. You need a police clearance from every Indian state where you lived for 12 months or more since age 16. Allow 4–8 weeks to obtain it. The certificate must be translated into English by a NAATI-accredited translator. Road To Citizenship coordinates NAATI translation.

Children under 16 can be included in your Form 1300T application and do not need to sit the test. Children aged 16 or 17 must apply separately and sit the citizenship test themselves.

Currently approximately 14–20 months from lodgement to ceremony in SA. This includes application processing, citizenship test, assessment, and ceremony allocation. Verify current DHA processing times at immi.homeaffairs.gov.au — processing times change frequently.
