PASSPORTS AND PERMITS

THE NEW REGULATIONS. IMPORTANT PROVISIONS EXPLAINED BY MINISTER. With reference to the new regulations in regard to passports and permits, principally in connection with Australia, the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. G. W. Russell) has made the following statement:— "The War Regulations issued on Monday last introduce important alterations in the previous regulations, making it necessary for persons leaving New Zealand to be in possession of permits authorising their departure. In future all females as well as males must obtain permits, and the age under which permits are not required has been reduced from 18 to 15 years. In addition to this extension of the regulations dealing with persons departing from the Dominion, important new provisions which do not, however, take effect until October 2, prohibit any person landing in New Zealand unless he is in possession of a passport. "PASSPORT" DEFINED." "Passport" is defined as a passport issued by the Government of the country of which the person to whom it relates is a subject or citizen, and which is still in force, or some other document satisfactorily establishing the nationality or identity of the person to whom it relates, to which passport or document there is attached a photograph of the person to whom it relates. The passport must have been issued not more than two years before the arrival in New Zealand, and in the case of a person coming from a foreign country, it must have been issued or vised (endorsed) bv the British Ambassador or a British Consul in that country. In the case of a person coming from any part of the British Dominions, the issue or the vise, as the case may be, must have been made bv some public official duly authorised in that behalf. CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS. "Certain exemptions are made with regard to persons coming to New Zealand from Australia, the Cook Islands and Samoa. In their case the only requirement is the possession of a permit to visit NewZealand granted by the Department of External Affairs of the Commonwealth, a Resident Commissioner of the Cook Islands, or the Administrator of Samoa, as the case may be, A person resident in New Zealand returning to the Dominion on a return ticket issued to him here is also exempted. The Minister of Internal Affairs, or any person authorised by him, is given power to grant exemptions from the requirements of the regulations. ALIEN SHIP CAPTAINS AND SAILORS. "Special provision is made respecting aliens being the masters or members of crews of ships arriving in New Zealand. They are prohibited from landing unless in possession of passports within the meaning of the regulations, but the Collector of Customs at the port in the Dominion

where a ship is for the time being may grant temporary permission to land for such purposes and subject to such conditions as the collector thinks fit. The presence among the crew of a ship of an alien not possessing a passport must be notified ; to the Collector of Customs, and that alien must leave the Dominion with the ship. Nothing in this particular 1 regulation applies to any master or 1 member of the crew whose home is in New Zealand."
