SECTION I
INTRODUCTION

Immigration is the movement of people into another country or region to which they
are not native in order to settle there, especially permanently. Immigration is a result of a
number of factors, including economic and/or political reasons, family re-unification, natural
disasters or the wish to change one's surroundings voluntarily.
Australia is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of
Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area.
Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north; the
Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east. New
Caledonia, a special collectivity of France, lies to the north-east.
Border is geographic boundaries of political entities or legal jurisdictions, such as
governments, sovereign states, federated states and other subnational entities. With those
things, Australian should have immigration boarder control. Immigration border is case history
of traffic or people coming out of territory and surveillance in order to preserve the
enforcement of state sovereignty. Australian immigration border is Australian Government
initiative in securing national borders led by the military to stop the smugglers boats,
preventing people risk their lives at sea, and maintain the integrity of the program.
As of 2006, the International Organization for Migration has estimated the number of
foreign migrants worldwide to be more than 200 million. Europe hosted the largest number of
immigrants, with 70 million people in 2005. North America, with over 45 million immigrants, is
second, followed by Asia, which hosts nearly 25 million. Most of today's migrant workers come
from Asia.
In 2005, the United Nations reported that there were nearly 191 million international
migrants worldwide, about 3 percent of the world population. This represented a rise of 26
million since 1990. 60 percent of these immigrants were now in developed countries, an
increase on 1990. Those in less developed countries stagnated, mainly because of a fall in
refugees. Contrast that to the average rate of globalization (the proportion of cross-border
3

trade in all trade), which exceeds 20 percent. The numbers of people living outside their
country of birth is expected to rise in the future.
The Midwestern United States, some parts of Europe, some small areas of Southwest
Asia, and a few spots in the East Indies have the highest percentages of immigrant population
recorded by the UN Census 2005. The reliability of immigrant censuses is low due to the
concealed character of undocumented labor migration.
A 2012 survey by Gallup found roughly 640 million adults would want to migrate to
another country if they had the chance to. Nearly one-quarter (23%) of these respondents,
which translates to more than 150 million adults worldwide, named the United States as their
desired future residence, while an additional 7% of respondents, representing an estimated 45
million, chose the United Kingdom. The other top desired destination countries (those where
an estimated 25 million or more adults would like to go) were Canada, France, Saudi Arabia,
Australia, Germany and Spain.
The overall level of immigration to Australia has grown substantially during the last
decade. Net overseas migration increased from 30,000 in 1993 to 118,000 in 2003-04. The
largest components of immigration are the skilled migration and family re-union programs. The
mandatory detention of unauthorised arrivals by boat has generated great levels of controversy.
During the 2004-05, total 123,424 people immigrated to Australia. Of them, 17,736 were from
Africa, 54,804 from Asia, 21,131 from Oceania, 18,220 from United Kingdom, 1,506 from South
America, and 2,369 from the rest of Europe. 131,000 people migrated to Australia in 2005-06
and migration target for 201213 is 190,000.
Australia and Switzerland, with about a quarter of their population born outside the
country, are the two countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the world.
The Australian Government is currently implementing the toughest measures ever in
protecting the national borders to tackle illegal arrivals by sea and against human smuggling. In
an Administrative Arrangements Order made on 18 September 2013, the functions of the department
were broadly classified into the following matters:
Entry, stay and departure arrangements for non-citizens
Border immigration control
4

Citizenship
Ethnic affairs
Customs and border control other than quarantine and inspection

Migration Program
The size and composition of Australias permanent migration program is reviewed
annually to maximize its potential. The 201011 migration program was set at 168,700 places
an overall total which was unchanged from 200910. Within this total, the skill stream was
allocated 113 850 places to address current and emerging skill shortages in critical occupations
and regions. The family stream was set at 54 550 places, recognizing the benefits that accrue
when Australians have their parents, partners, careers or children join them to live in Australia
permanently.
On 1 July 2010, a new skilled occupation list was introduced for the general skilled
migration. A new points test emphasing the importance of English language proficiency, work
experience and higher level qualifications was announced and implemented on 1 July 2011. In
addition, state migration plans were implemented for each state and territory to provide
greater flexibility for state and territory governments to nominate skilled migrants in a broader
range of occupations specific to their skill shortage needs than are currently offered through
the skilled occupation list.

Humanitarian Program
Australia is within the top three humanitarian resettlement countries in the world.
Under the humanitarian program, the department granted 13 799 visas in 201011. Of these,
8971 were granted offshore and 4828 were granted onshore. The Woman at Risk target of 12
per cent of refugee grants (720 grants) was exceeded, with 759 visas granted.
The introduction of complementary protection legislation into parliament on 24
February 2011, was a development in relation to Australia's commitment to fulfilling its
international obligations under the Refugee Convention. This was expected to improve the
5

efficiency of decision-making by providing more accountable assessments of asylum seekers
protection claims.

Citizenship
The departments citizenship course provides an alternative pathway for taking the final step
towards becoming an Australian citizen. In 201011, 27 citizenship courses were delivered
across metropolitan and regional areas in Australia, and about 74 000 citizenship tests were
administered globally during the year.
On 26 January 2011, Australia Day, approximately 13,000 people became Australian citizens in
about 325 citizenship ceremonies hosted by local councils and community groups across the
country. Brisbane City Council, despite the devastating floods, hosted the largest Australia Day
2011 citizenship ceremony with more than 1,000 people becoming citizens at the Brisbane
Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Border Security
There are more than 30 million movements across Australias borders every year. By
2020, indications are that these numbers are likely to increase to approximately 45 million
movements per year.
The department collects biometrics

to help verify the identity of visa applicants in any future
visa encounters. From December 2010, biometrics began to be collected across 15 countries in
Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. This initiative was undertaken in collaboration with
the UK Border Agency.

SECTION II
Travel Documents for Entry to Australia

Everyone travelling to Australia must present a valid and approved travel document
as evidence of their identity and nationality. The most common and preferred travel
document is a passport, but other types of travel documents may also be accepted.

prior to travelling to Australia.
7

New Zealand citizens with tuberculosis or criminal convictions may not be eligible for a
Special Category Visa. These New Zealand citizens should approach the nearest Australian
immigration office to discuss their situation before travelling to Australia so as to avoid possible
delay or being refused entry at the border. New Zealand citizens may also be eligible to apply
for a range of other visas appropriate to their circumstances, or for Australian citizenship.

SECTION III
AIRPORT AND SEAPORT CLEARANCE

I. AIRPORT CLEARANCE
a. When you arrive at an Australian airport
Everyone who arrives at an Australian airport must present their travel documents and
Incoming Passenger Card (IPC) to officers in immigration clearance. If you are not an Australian
citizen, you must hold a valid visa or authority to enter Australia. This must be arranged before
travelling to Australia. Special provisions apply to most New Zealand citizens, and to people
eligible to transit Australia without a visa.
If you arrive without a valid travel document, visa or authority to enter Australia, you
may be delayed until your identity and claims to enter Australia are checked. If you do not meet
immigration clearance requirements, you may be refused entry to Australia. For more details
see 'Immigration clearance at the airport' section below. After you pass through immigration
clearance, your baggage can be collected. It may be checked by Customs and Border Protection
or Quarantine officers.
b. Immigration clearance at the airport
As part of immigration process, clearance officers inspect your travel documents when
you arrive at the airport.
Once your identity and authority to enter Australia are confirmed, the clearance officer
formally approves your entry into Australia. Australian Customs and Border Protection Service
officers handle immigration clearance processing at Australian airports on behalf of the
department.
The Australian Government no longer provides a Port and Date Stamp in travellers
passports on departure from Australia without a request. If you need a stamp in your passport,
you must ask the Customs officer when you depart Australia. Stamping only on request
complements our move towards electronic processing.
Australia issues electronic visas and electronically records all movements of passengers
into and out of Australia. You can access your own International Movement Records over the
12

counter at any Immigration Office or by sending the form below to your nearest Immigration
Office. If there are any issues surrounding your identity or authority to enter Australia, the
matter is referred to immigration staff at the airport. Immigration officers may check your
travel history, contacts in Australia, or other travel plans.
In some cases, you may be formally interviewed to determine further information about
your immigration status. The interview is conducted by immigration staff in immigration offices
at the airport, and may be recorded. Non-English speaking travellers may be interviewed with
the help of an interpreter. If you do not meet immigration clearance requirements, you may be
refused entry to Australia and removed immediately. The Australian Government has
implemented security measures at Australian airports. You can find further information at the
TravelSECURE website. Its purpose is to help you to navigate the security checks at the airport
quickly and easily and to ensure you are prepared for your trip.

All persons arriving in Australia by sea on cruise ships and commercial vessels are
subject to immigration clearance. This applies whether they disembark the vessel or remain
onboard.

Masters and agents of all cruise ships and commercial vessels are subject to a range of
reporting requirements for immigration purposes, including pre-arrival reports, crew sign-on
13

and sign-off, reporting in the case of desertion or a stowaway, or when medical evacuation is
required.
e. Special Purpose Visa
