Australia's visa system for visitors
Office of Regulation Review submission
This submission was released in February 1995. The submission addresses:
- the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the visitor visa system; and
- possible alternatives to the visitor visa system, including the options of visa free travel or multiple entry visas.
In particular the submission proposes a framework for assessing the effectiveness of the current universal visa requirement. It then uses data supplied to this inquiry to make a preliminary assessment of the benefits and costs of alternative visa arrangements.
