What is an Australian immigration arrival card?

Australia is one of the best destinations for migrating overseas. It offers a cosmopolitan, high-quality life and a stable economy in which to live in the best countries. Australia has opened its doors to individuals with the right skills and talents to give the government a global platform.

 

Under Australian law, Immigrants arriving in Australia must identify themselves by providing certain information through passenger or arrival cards. An Australian immigration arrival card can be the passenger card that identifies the passenger’s identity and entry into the country.

 

The passenger must complete an incoming passenger (IPC) before entering Australia. IPCs are issued to the passenger before arrival or to the Australian Border Force at the terminal.​​

 

A passenger or arrival card as serves as:

  • A certificate of the non-Australian citizen regarding health, relation and character
  • Sometimes as a visa category for Special Category Visa applicants and Norfolk Island Permanent Residents

 

*Note: Only some people doesn’t need a a passenger card on the basis of immigration rule.

 

* Check your eligibility for Australian Immigration through the Y-Axis Australia immigration point’s calculator.

 

Who needs a passenger Card?

Almost every passenger who travels to Australia needs to fill out the form and provide a passenger card while entering the country.

 

AU citizens who refuse to complete an Incoming Passenger Card will be penalized. Other country residents who want to enter Australia without IPC will be punished and refused immigration clearance.
