Dear Department of Home Affairs,
I would like to provide some clarifications.
In my original request,
- “Any other nations” include Migration 5 partner nations.
- ”Biographic data derived from visa and/or residency permit applicants for said nations.” refers to any data collected from visa/permanent residency applications of other nations.
Yours faithfully,
Kei
