Will applicants aged 18 and above now face longer citizenship processing delays?

Question

## Yes. Applicants aged 18 and above will now have to apply through Article 19(1), which takes longer.

Accepted Answer

The new rule takes effect on June 1 and limits special citizenship applications under Article 15A to people below 18 years old. Anyone aged 18 and above must instead apply for citizenship through naturalisation under Article 19(1) of the Federal Constitution, and that route involves a longer processing period.
