Migration (IMMI 18/001: Class of Passports) Instrument 2018 - Public Interest Criterion 4021

The purpose of the instrument is to clarify that Somali passports are a class of passport that an applicant cannot hold in order to satisfy Public Interest Criterion 4021 when applying for a visa.

This is a clarification of the previous determination (IMMI 14/073) which specified that “Somali travel documents” are a class of passport that cannot be held to satisfy Public Interest Criterion 4021, and “travel documents” includes “passports”.
