Hi

My name is Risto Janakievski born in Yugoslavia 1968

My father emigrated from Yugoslavia 1970, I was two years old, we lived till may 1976 and come back to YU. I have two brothers that are born in Australia, Melbourne where we lived and are holders of Australian passport

Am I entitled to Australian citizenship?

Any ideas or a way of confirming any of the above would be greatly appreciated.

I came over to Australia when I was 1yr old on my parents visa number from England 48yrs ago I am reckonised as living in Australia but there are no records of me entering Australia i recently got my passport to travel to nz but I could not travel as the passport has no visa number and as I said no recorlds of me entering I have been searching on line and seem to get no where if anyone can point me in the right direction or what form I need thank you

I've tried Immigration, Ancestry.com,…
