Australian Citizenship application — what NAATI docs are needed?
Three core: (1) applicant's birth certificate (for citizenship by descent, also the Australian parent's), (2) marriage certificate if name changed, (3) police checks for every country lived > 12 months in the past 10 years. THB 2,500–4,500.
In-depth Answer
Three citizenship pathways: (a) by conferral (foreigners after 4 years PR), (b) by descent (Australian parent), (c) by birth.
NAATI requirements differ. [Conferral — most common for Thais]: applicant's birth 800, marriage cert if name changed 1,620, Thai police 900, other countries' police 900 each (if lived abroad > 12 months).
Total THB 2,500–4,500. [Descent]: applicant's + Australian parent's birth cert + parents' marriage cert = 3,000–4,000. [Test]: citizenship test result comes in English so no NAATI needed.
