Regulation 1.11C of the Migration Regulations provides that a passport is an eVisitor eligible passport if it is a valid passport of a kind specified by the Minister in an instrument in writing, and the conditions (if any) specified in the instrument for that passport are satisfied.
To make a valid application for a Subclass 651 (eVisitor) visa, all applicants must hold an eVisitor eligible passport pursuant to paragraph 1218AA(3)(b) of Schedule 1 to the Migration Regulations. As such, the purpose of this instrument is to specify eVisitor eligible passports, and any conditions that must be satisfied.
LIN 23/064 maintains all arrangements previously in place under IMMI 13/078, which is repealed by this instrument.
