Hopefully you can help with a minor passport issue.. .. .. ..
1. I am a british citizen who has been in Aus for about 8 years.
2. I have a british passport
3. I have permanent residency in Australia.
4. A couple of months ago I finally became an Aussie citizen (Yay !)
5. But I haven't got round to getting my Aussie passport yet.
6. Next Tuesday I am off on a RTW for seven weeks.
My question is:
- I am aware that I SHOULD be travelling in and out of Australia on an aussie passport.
- But I haven't got it yet.
- Do I NEED to have an aussie passport or is it ok for me to travel on my British passport (still containing my permanent residency thingmy) ?
My best understanding is:
- I SHOULD have an aussie passport
- Technically, I could have a problem.
- But practically, they have no way of knowing and I will not have a problem on a British passport.
Many thanks if you can help,
