Citizenship Revocation Defence
Protect your Australian citizenship.
Overview
Citizenship revocation is one of the most serious legal actions the Australian government can take against a citizen. If you are facing revocation proceedings, you need immediate legal representation. The grounds for revocation include fraud or misrepresentation in the citizenship application, certain criminal convictions, and national security concerns. I provide urgent defence representation to protect your Australian citizenship.
The Australian Citizenship Act 2007 provides several grounds for revoking citizenship. Section 34 allows revocation where citizenship was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation. Section 35 deals with automatic cessation of citizenship for dual citizens who serve in the armed forces of a country at war with Australia. Section 36 allows the Minister to revoke citizenship on character grounds in certain circumstances.
Revocation proceedings are extremely serious and can result in the loss of all rights associated with Australian citizenship, including the right to live and work in Australia, the right to vote, and the right to an Australian passport. If your citizenship is revoked, you may be placed on a bridging visa and face removal from Australia.
