Section 166 not usually to apply
169 Section 166 not usually to apply
If:
a person goes outside the migration zone; and
under section 80 is not taken to leave Australia;
the person is not, on re‑entering the migration zone, taken to enter Australia for the purposes of section 166 but may be directed by a clearance officer to comply with that section.
International passenger cruise ships
However, subsection (1) does not apply if the person goes outside the migration zone on an international passenger cruise ship (see subsection (4)).
The effect of this subsection is that people on international passenger cruise ships are required to be immigration cleared under section 166 (unless the Minister or Secretary determines otherwise under subsection (3) of this section).
However, the Minister or Secretary may, in writing, determine that, despite subsection (2), subsection (1) does apply to a class of persons that includes the person.
In this section, a ship is an international passenger cruise ship if:
the ship has sleeping facilities for at least 100 persons (other than crew members); and
the ship is being used to provide a service of sea transportation of persons from a place outside Australia to a port in Australia; and
that service:
is provided in return for a fee payable by persons using the service; and
is available to the general public.
A determination made under subsection (3) is not a legislative instrument.
