Australia Sets Conditions for New Zealand Citizens' Visa
The Australian Department of Home Affairs has detailed the conditions under which the Subclass 444 Special Category visa (SCV), granted to New Zealand citizens, will cease. This visa is free and allows New Zealand citizens to enter and remain in Australia as long as they hold New Zealand citizenship.
It permits holders to work and study in Australia and can lead to permanent residency if qualifications are met. The SCV is processed upon arrival at Australian airports or seaports.
The visa will automatically cease if the holder departs Australia, is granted a permanent Australian visa, becomes an Australian citizen, or has the visa canceled by authorities. To maintain eligibility, holders must continue to hold New Zealand citizenship and meet the character requirements set by the Australian government.
The SCV is recognized as one of the few visa arrangements globally that allows such access based solely on citizenship.
