    Default Citizenship Application Approved - Timeline 2020

    We got our citizenship so wanted to share the application timeline to give some idea to the others as this forum has always been a great help for me (big thanks to forum moderators and members)

    Application sent - 30 May 2020
    Citizenship received 29 July 2020

    It seems it's taking roughly 2-3 months to process applications based on my observation from the people who got their applications approved recently but as always may vary case by case.

    Good luck to everyone who is waiting for the outcome on their applications.

    Thank you for post! Congrats to the new kiwis!

    Could you please share your timeline from when you were granted residency? Did you have to wait 5 full years or 4.8 years?

    That's really down to an individual's own circumstances, i.e. how many days that individual is physically present in New Zealand. You may be waiting for a shorter or longer period before you meet the presence requirement yourself.

    I wonder why in person applications are processed faster than online applications.
