  • Fact Sheet - New Zealanders in Australia on This Page
    Fact sheet - New Zealanders in Australia On this page • Background • Special Category Visa • Australian citizenship • Statistical information Background The Australian and New Zealand Governments have had arrangements in place since the 1920s to facilitate a free flow of people between the two countries. The 1973 Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement has allowed Australian and New Zealand citizens to enter each other's country to visit, live and work, without the need to apply for authority to enter the other country before travelling. The movement of New Zealand citizens to and from Australia depends on a number of factors, for example the economic conditions of both countries. The number of New Zealand citizens in Australia increases in good economic times in Australia relative to New Zealand, and decreases when the economic conditions slow. At 30 June 2013, an estimated 640 770 New Zealand citizens were present in Australia. Special Category Visa Since 1 September 1994, all non-citizens in Australia must hold a visa. The Special Category visa (SCV) is a temporary visa introduced for New Zealand citizens. A New Zealand citizen wanting to enter Australia needs to present a valid New Zealand passport and incoming passenger card for immigration clearance. By doing so, New Zealand citizens are considered to have applied for a visa and, subject to health or character considerations, will be granted an SCV. This visa is recorded electronically and the person's passport may be stamped, showing the date of arrival in Australia. New Zealand citizens with tuberculosis or any criminal convictions (that resulted in imprisonment or a suspended sentence) should approach the nearest Australian immigration office to discuss their entry to Australia before travelling to Australia.

  • Palestinians in Lebanon
    Country Policy and Information Note Lebanon: Palestinians Version 1.0 June 2018 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the basis of claim section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis of COI; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Analysis This section analysises the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment on whether, in general: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x Claims are likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Decision makers must, however, still consider all claims on an individual basis, taking into account each case’s specific facts. Country of origin information The country information in this note has been carefully selected in accordance with the general principles of COI research as set out in the Common EU [European Union] Guidelines for Processing Country of Origin Information (COI), dated April 2008, and the Austrian Centre for Country of Origin and Asylum Research and Documentation’s (ACCORD), Researching Country Origin Information – Training Manual, 2013.

  • Guide for Descendants of Lebanese Origin to Claim the Lebanese Nationality
    Guide for Descendants of Lebanese Origin To Claim the Lebanese Nationality Issued by the Consulate General of Lebanon in Melbourne 2018 © Consulate General of Lebanon – Melbourne 2018 Page 2 of 12 Why this Guide? There are several factors that led to the loss of the Lebanese nationality to children of Lebanese origin, most important of which is the failure of some grandfathers to register their children, especially after they have been granted the Australian citizenship and integrated into the Australian society throughout generations, in addition to their lack of knowledge of the Arabic language due to the absence of Lebanese cultural institutions and schools in the country for a long time. The Consulate General of Lebanon in Melbourne prepared this guide for those of Lebanese origin to provide them with information about the procedures for registration to claim the Lebanese nationality and to facilitate the right for claiming this nationality to those who lost it because their migrant ancestors did not register officially at the Lebanese Embassy and Consulates in Australia. Lebanon gives great importance to encouraging descendants of Lebanese emigrants to register themselves and to claim their Lebanese nationality. Thus, Law No. 41 dated 24/11/2015 was implemented for this purpose, which facilitates these procedures by granting citizenship by decree to the descendant whose name or the name of any direct paternal ancestral/predecessors or next of kin to the second degree is clearly indicated in the records of the 1920-1921 census for residents and migrants at the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities and the Records of Emigration for the year 1932 census for migrants who neglected to claim Lebanese citizenship at the time, noting that the benefit of this law will be valid within ten years only from the date of issue.
