Travel Info Hi,how can I become an australian citizen ? Travel Tips Dont bother..... we dont want anymore people with your kinda name here... Others If u were born in Australia u can be one. but... if u were born in the u.s. like i was or some other country than your going to have to move to Australia and live there for about 14 yrs... somewhere about there and then after about 14 years of living there they'll give u a Australia passport. If one of your parents was born in Australia then it will take you less years to become a Australia citizen. i dont think your going to do this but since you werent born in australia (right?) then u cant run for Australia president even if ur a australia citizen. Only australia citizens that were borned in australia can run for president there. same rule as other countries. http://www1.austvisa.com.au/terms.html...
