Their passport does not allow on arrival visa in Australia. They are not NZ citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the eligibility page on the Immi website. It says you have to be an Australian citizen or permanent resident to sponsor. It also says you can't be a New Zealand citizen. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/visitor-600/sponsored-family-stream#g=2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why it matters. Knowing what nationality someone is can help to work out what visas they are eligible for. For instance if they had NZ passports they might not need sponsorship.

Question was simple and others have answered it legitimately. You just want to expose their nationality and country of residence which has NOTHING TO WITH THEY BEING SPONSORED SPONSORSHIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being fair to Nemesis they usually provide great advice. I suppose they could have asked "do they hold a NZ passport" rather than the question they did to ascertain if they even needed sponsorship - but sometimes on a forum you don't always take into account whether your question might be asking something the poster doesn't want to disclose. Anyway you got the answer you needed so the forum has done it's job once again. Good luck with the adventure that is AUS immigration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm glad I bothered. Just for your info - often other posers (all of whom are more helpful and knowledgeable than I am, ask similar questions o]in order to provide the best answer. Therefore on occasion I ask questions such as this so that by the time someone more experienced comes along, all the facts are there. Its nothing to do with tryin g to expose anything, whatever the &*%%&%$%* that means. Its called TRYING TO HELP. Go sort yer own visa issue out cos I wont be trying to help you again.

As we all know, agents ask questions like this to get a complete picture of the situation. Presumably however the OP would respond to them in the same way and thus possibly not get the best advice. My last word on the subject. Off to watch some paint dry. Edited August 20 by Nemesis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
