This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument replaces the September 2007 list with a new April 2008 list of travel agents approved to organise tour groups for Chinese citizens applying for Australian tourist visas. It affects Chinese tourists applying as organised-group members, the Australian and Chinese travel agents that arrange those tours, and migration officers who assess such visa applications.
It matters because only agents on the approved list satisfy the Migration Regulations for organised tour visa applications.
