Good Morning Pawan,

 

The March date is set for the 25 March, no further dates have been set for
the months beyond.

 

While these ceremonies are organised by the Council, the Council is not
responsible for allocating candidates to ceremony dates. This is the
decision of the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA). As these ceremonies
are by invitation only, with Invitations sent to new citizens by the DIA,
you can find out when you will likely be assigned to a date by contacting
the DIA call centre: phone 0800 22 51 51.

 

I hope that this helps.

 

Thank you,

 

Jess Griffin
Information Coordinator
