Naturalisation Process

The naturalisation process is how a non-citizen becomes a citizen of a country. It typically involves meeting eligibility criteria such as a certain period of lawful residency, demonstrating good character, understanding the country’s language and laws, and sometimes passing a citizenship test. Applicants submit an application, pay fees, and may need to attend an interview or ceremony. Once approved, they take an oath of allegiance, officially becoming citizens with rights like voting and outside protections. The process ensures newcomers are integrated and committed to the country’s values and responsibilities.
