Approval
You will cease to be an Australian citizen on the day we approve your application.
If you are in Australia when your application is approved, you will automatically become the holder of an ex-citizen visa. No visa application is required.
An ex-citizen visa is a permanent resident visa. It does not allow re-entry into Australia if you choose to leave. If you plan to leave Australia and want to return, apply for a Return Resident visa before you leave.
If you are outside Australia when your application to renounce Australian citizenship is approved, and you wish to travel to Australia, you will need to apply for a visa that suits your circumstances.
