Overview

The Legislative Instrument removes redundant provisions from the Australian Citizenship Regulation 2016 (the Regulation) for the payment of citizenship application fees in foreign countries and in foreign currencies.

This aligns the Regulation with the current practice, which is that applications for citizenship are made online or by post and paid for in Australian dollars (AUD) using credit cards or other electronic payment systems. The amendment also removes the need to update the Regulation every six months to reflect foreign currency fluctuations and acceptable foreign currencies.
