skippy79 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Just a quick question, Next year we are traveling to Aus for a reccie ( myself aus citizen, daughter aus citizen and partner belgium citizen ) I know my daughter and myself can enter through the citizen holders queue, but I thought I read somewhere here or elsewhere that my partner can enter in this queue with us, can someone let me know if this is true or does she have to line up by herself in the non citizen queue?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungbean Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 There's no queue for citizens as such... the difference is those eligible to use the "ePassport" and "SmartGate" system. For this you need a passport with biometric chip. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Ente/Goin/Arrival/Smartgateor-ePassport Check the website for the list of countries who are eligible to enter through the smartgate system -- the options are changing regularly as they try to widen the system.

benthomas010 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You won't be able to use the smart gate / biometric passport as children cannot use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
