84D Minister may certify that arrival control determination does
         not apply in relation to a particular non-citizen
          (1) The Minister may issue a certificate (a permitted travel certificate)
              providing that an arrival control determination does not apply in








               relation to a particular non-citizen if the Minister is satisfied in all
               the circumstances that it is appropriate for the determination not to
               apply to that non-citizen (whether or not the certificate is requested
               under subsection (2)).
          (2) A non-citizen, or a person authorised to act on behalf of the
              non-citizen, may make a request in writing to the Minister for a
              permitted travel certificate in relation to the non-citizen.
          (3) If the Minister issues a permitted travel certificate in relation to a
              non-citizen, the certificate has effect despite anything in the arrival
              control determination.
               Note:      An arrival control determination may specify that section 84E
                          (suspension of temporary visas held by non-citizens) applies, either
                          generally or in specified circumstances, to one or more specified
                          classes of non-citizens.

          (4) A permitted travel certificate must be in writing.
          (5) The Minister may, in writing, revoke a permitted travel certificate
              in relation to a non-citizen at a particular time if the non-citizen is
              not in the migration zone at that time.

               Other matters
          (6) Each of the following is not a legislative instrument:
               (a) a permitted travel certificate;
               (b) a revocation under subsection (5).
          (7) The rules of natural justice do not apply to an exercise of power
              under subsection (1) or (5).
          (8) The Minister does not have a duty to consider whether to exercise
              the power to issue a permitted travel certificate in relation to a
              particular non-citizen, whether the Minister is requested to do so
              under subsection (2), or in any other circumstances.










               Report to Parliament
          (9) The Minister must, as soon as practicable after the end of each
              period of 6 months beginning on 1 January or 1 July, cause a report
              to be laid before each House of the Parliament containing a
              statement of the number of permitted travel certificates issued
              under this section during the period.
