There is only risk for dual citizens

Australian citizenship can be canceled due to various reasons, and this is an article on five major cases.

01. Rejection of Australian citizenship.

Although you need to refuse your Australian citizenship, you do not have a sole right to do so.The final decision on the refusal of your Australian citizenship will be to the Minister in charge of the subject, and you can only deny your Australian citizenship unless you have a friend in another country.

Otherwise, you are not allowed to refuse your Australian citizenship because you are not a citizen of any country.

2. Fraud and fraud

If you have not been an Australian citizen, the minister has the authority to cancel your Australian citizenship in the event of any wrongdoing or fraudulent information given in your application for your Australian citizenship.

3. Can not meet special residential requirements.

If you have applied for Australian citizenship on special residence requirements or have obtained it, you must definitely apply the special residential requirement.

Or the government has the power to cancel your Australian citizenship.

For example, a cricket player in another country needs Australian citizenship with the Australian cricket team, and he is to play for the Australian national cricket team.Otherwise, the government can cancel the Australian citizenship granted to him.

4. Being neutral in Australia.

In accordance with Section 35 of the Australian Citizenship Act of 2007, if you are a dual citizen, you will be able to abolish your Australian citizenship if Australia acts impartially.

For example, engaging in terrorist activities is an act that is damaging to the Australian government or the reputation of the country.

5. Your Australian citizenship expires

The minister has the power to annul your Australian citizenship even if you are the parent of your parents’ Australian citizenship.
