    The general residence requirement is one of the eligibility criteria you must meet to apply for Australian citizenship. The residence requirement is specified in the Australian Citizenship Act 2007.
    申請澳洲公民身份的一項審核資格準則就是要滿足一般的留澳居留規(guī)定。2007年的澳大利亞公民法具體規(guī)定了留澳居留要求。
    It is based on the length of time:
    you have lawfully lived in Australia
    you have spent outside Australia
    you have been a permanent resident.
    基于以下時間的長短：
    你合法地居住在澳大利亞境內(nèi)的時間
    你在澳大利亞境外的時間
    你永久居留的時間
    What is the change?
    變化在哪里？
    From 1 July 2010 all citizenship applicants will need to meet this residence requirement at the time they apply for Australian citizenship.
    從2010年7月1日起，所有澳大利亞公民申請在他們遞交申請的時候都將需要符合留澳居留要求。
    You must have been living in Australia on a valid Australian visa for 4 years immediately before applying, including 1 year as a permanent resident, and
    你必須在遞交申請之前，已經(jīng)持有有效的澳大利亞簽證在澳洲境內(nèi)居住了4年。（其中包括一年的永久居留）
    You must not have been absent from Australia for more than 1 year during the 4 year period, including no more than 90 days in the year immediately before applying.
    四年內(nèi)，你不能離開澳洲超過一年，并且在申請澳大利亞公民身份的前一年不能離境超過90天
    指南針留學移民提醒準備使用老政策的網(wǎng)友，一定注意一下幾個問答。
    What will happen on 1 July 2010?
    2010年7月1日我們將面對什么？
    On 1 July 2010 the transitional arrangements will cease. On and after 1 July 2010 therewill only be one general residence requirement which everyone aged 16 and over will be required to meet.
    2010年7月1日，過度安排將終止，從7月1日起（包括7月1日），將只有一項一般居留要求的規(guī)定——年齡在16歲已經(jīng)以上的澳洲公民申請者者必須符合。
    目前的澳大利亞居留要求規(guī)定
    Between 1 July 2007 and 30 June 2010 there has been transitional arrangements in place.
    2007年7月1日到2010年6月30日期間，適用的過度安排包括
    If you became a permanent resident before 1 July 2007, and apply on or before30 June 2010, the residence requirement is: You must have been living in Australia for 2 years as a permanent resident in the 5 years immediately before applying, including 1 year in the 2 years immediately before applying.
    1.如果你在2007年7月1日之前成為永久居民，并且在2010年6月30日或者之前遞交申請，居留要求是：在遞交申請前，五年內(nèi)你必須持有澳大利亞永久居民身份居住在澳大利亞境內(nèi)兩年，包括遞交申請前兩年內(nèi)居留時間達一年。
    2.If you became a permanent resident on or after 1 July 2007 the residence requirement is:
    如果你在2007年7月1日之后成為澳洲永久居民，則留澳居留要求是：
    You must have been living in Australia on a valid Australian visa for 4 years immediately before applying, including 1 year as a permanent resident, and
    你必須在遞交申請前，持有效地澳洲簽證在澳洲境內(nèi)生活了4年，包括作為澳洲永久居民身份在澳洲境內(nèi)生活了一年。
    You must not have been absent from Australia for more than 1 year during the 4 year period, including no more than 90 days in the year immediately before applying.
    你必須在四年期間不能離境超過一年，包括在遞交申請前的一年內(nèi)不能離境超過90天。
    Will the residence requirement change affect me?
    新的居留要求對我們會有影響么？
    If you are a long term resident the change in the length of time you must be lawfully living in Australia may not affect your eligibility to apply.
    The change mainly affects people who are trying to balance the requirement of living inAustralia as a permanent resident with allowable absences and overseas travel.
    如果你是澳洲的長期居民，那么這個對于合法居留澳洲時間長短的要求變化對于審核你申請澳洲公民身份的資格不會有太大的影響
    This means you must hold a permanent residence visa valid for entry to Australia or resident return visa for any time spent outside Australia, during the whole 12 months immediately before making an application.
    這也就意味著在遞交申請前的12個月內(nèi)，你必須持有有效永久居留資格的簽證進入澳洲境內(nèi)，或者在每次離境都持有居民回頭簽。
