Despite Australia's close relationship NZ citizens are not automatically given Australian citizenship.
However on 1 July 2022 the laws were changed to make it easier for NZ citizens to get Australian citizenship.
Now, NZ citizens do not need to apply for a permanent visa in order to get Australian citizenship.
Instead, NZ citizens can apply for Australian citizenship after they have lived in Australia for 4 years.
