Migration (Digital Passenger Declaration - Circumstances where Passenger Card also required) Instrument (LIN 22/015) 2022
Purpose
Regulation 3.03AB was recently inserted into the Regulations by the Home Affairs Legislation Amendment (Digital Passenger Declaration) Regulations 2021 (the DPD Regulations) for the purpose of exempting a person travelling to Australia from completing or providing a passenger card when they have provided a digital passenger declaration to the departmental system that processes digital passenger declarations (DPD) (the person).
Under this provision, the person is not required to complete or provide a passenger card if they have provided a DPD and, before an event referred to in subparagraph 172(1)(a)(iii) or (b)(iii) of the Migration Act 1958 occurs, the person has not withdrawn their DPD and a clearance officer has not required them to provide a completed passenger card. Under subregulation 3.03AB(2) of the Regulations, a clearance officer may require a person to provide a completed passenger card if circumstances specified in a legislative instrument exist.
