Australia Sets Fees for Citizenship by Descent Applications

The Australian government has officially published the fees associated with applying for citizenship by descent through Form 118. This information is crucial for foreign nationals looking to claim citizenship based on a parent's Australian nationality.

The fee for the first child applying for citizenship by descent is set at $380 (₦352,776), which covers the processing of the application. Additionally, families applying for more than one child simultaneously can benefit from a discounted fee of $160 (₦148,537) for each subsequent sibling included in the same application.

This discount is only applicable when the siblings are submitted together as part of the same application process, providing financial relief for larger families pursuing citizenship.
