A special purpose visa is a visa given by operation of law to certain non-citizens in Australia to whom standard visa and immigration clearance arrangements do not apply.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2013C00458 )〕 Australia operates a universal visa regime which insists that every non-Australian citizen present within the migration zone of Australia holds a valid visa. Hence the ''special purpose visa'' was created by section 33 of the ''Migration Act 1958'' to effectively exempt certain persons from the normal processes for entry into Australia. These include:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2013C00810 )〕 * members of the Royal Family (however the Queen of Australia Herself is outside the scope of any Australian immigration requirements) * members of the Royal party accompanying the Royal Family * official guests of the Australian government, including dependents and staff members * members of the crew of a non-military ship visiting an Australian port or being imported into Australia, provided they hold valid passports and seafarers' documentation * crews of foreign naval ships visiting Australia * members of the armed forces of certain countries with ''Status of Forces Agreements'' with Australia (including certain civilians attached to these armed forces) with valid military documents and travel orders, together with spouses and children holding valid national passports and military identification * airline crew, with valid passports and employer documentation * persons visiting Macquarie Island with advance permission of the Tasmanian Environment Department * transit passengers from specified (''gazetted'') countries in airside transit in Australia for less than eight hours * traditional Indonesian fishermen visiting the Territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands No visa application is required to hold a special purpose visa, and no fee is charged. It is possible to hold a special purpose visa simultaneously with another type of Australian visa. A person holding a special purpose visa must abide by the legal conditions attaching to his or her status, otherwise he or she becomes an ''unlawful non-citizen'' liable to detention and removal from Australia. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Special purpose visa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
