Latest Citizenship Timeline - adults only

We both applied together, online, in the first week of October last year.

Very shocked and surprised to say the least.

Amazing mate congrats. I applied on my fifth year mark.. Did you apply right after 5 years have passed or waited a good few years after fifth to apply?

trying to find a pattern is all

That is 7 months waiting, faster than I anticipated. Hep hep Hooray!!

congratulations
Did you apply right after 5 years (like i did) or waited a good few years after fifth to apply?

Congrats! So there must be some kind of prioritisation going on - or some applications can be decided fully automated??

I applied in Nov. I sent scathing mails after I applied, criticizing their long timeframe. Pretty sure they'll take months to process mine cos of it

do we need to have a verified account in realme for them to process our application? If not, do they insist on getting it verified to proceed further?

I applied as soon as I got the required amount of days. I was counting the days and doing my math ever since I got my Resident Visa.
I am a silent reader in this forum and managed to get as much information I need. Back reading makes me busy at work during down time. Thank you for everyone especially for those who shared their journey!

hi everyone,

I am applying for my citizenship and i have a question while filling out online form. I own a company that owes IRD tax but that is on automatic payment. Does this affect my citizenship? They have asked a question whether i owe money to government agency. Do i say no as my company owes money?Thank you

Do i say no as my company owes money?

If YOU are the one, that's supposed to pay them the money your company owes, it's YOU who owes them money. How do you not see it?

What kind of company do you have? Is it a limited company, for instance?

And are you behind in payments?

Hi JandM,

It’s a limited company and I have requested ird to pay them in instalment and they are happy as they are charging interest. We have struggled due to covid and hopefully I can pay them all by end of 2023 .

In that case, in your place, I would answer 'no', because you, the individual, do not owe the money, but in the interests of complete honesty, and so nobody can later suggest that you were guilty of fraud by not mentioning it, I would also give them full details and proof of your company's payment arrangement with the IRD.
