The Australian Immigration Department officially announces that the complex Australian exit card has been abolished in order to facilitate the entry and exit of passengers. It will be more convenient for Australians to leave the country in the future.
The statement shows:
Passengers leaving Australia no longer need to fill in departure cards, the departure card policy will be formally abolished, and the original departure card policy and its information system will no longer be in use.
The Australian departure card will be officially abolished on July 1, 2017.
This means that Australia`s goverment advocates paperless entry and exit, electronic information collection process continues to improve!
Australia`s goverment has been implementing the Australian exit Card policy for decades. Customs requires all passengers leaving Australia to fill in this form below and declare the details of carrying cash and the purpose of leaving the country truthfully.
Including name, address, birthday, passport information, flight number, travel country, purpose, travel reasons, departure time and so on!
According to Australian media reports, in fact, many Australian passengers who leave Australia do not fill out departure cards, or they do not know that they need to fill out departure cards at all. They are often called in by customs officials and re-filled with exit cards, thus wasting a lot of time and manpower.
What is more embarrassing is that in March alone, more than two hundred and thirty thousand people`s departure information did not match the official departure information and "put enormous pressure on the work of Australian customs workers".
At the same time, a large number of Australians complain that departure cards are very useless and violate the privacy of their own information.
Australia also had a large number of online anti-departure card initiatives!
Internet people say this annoying little card, is really anti-human! Every time I was in a hurry to catch a plane, I had to fill out this annoying form! Everyone`s heart is broken! Just want to roar!
In addition to the trouble, Australian media pointed out that Australian customs statistics in and out of the data and facts there is a huge deviation, paper departure card is one of the culprits.
Jayson Westbury, chief executive of the Australian Federation of Travel agencies, said that from July this year, the paper departure card would be completely abolished and connected in a completely new electronic form.
This means that all Australian outbound people no longer need to fill in the departure card manually, and the Australian Customs and Excise Department will reach electronic agreements with the major aviation and other sectors, automatic entry!
This greatly facilitates Australia`s exit procedures and customs data collection.
In fact, as early as two years ago, Australian Foreign Secretary Julie Bishop said that Australians will lead the world in promoting paperless cloud passports, and Australians can travel around the world without passports. And put an end to the loss and theft of a large number of Australian passports.
This heavyweight news immediately aroused extensive discussion, is also Australia`s goverment paperless management of citizen information another initiative!
Since goverment, Australia, was the world`s first e-passport in 2005, Cloud Passport has once again given Australian citizens more freedom and convenience.
Australia`s e-passport has been in place for 10 years, and customs has made it easier for citizens to get in and out of the queue. By last year, Australia had become the first group of countries in the world to implement electronic customs entry, self-admission, this measure has also been praised by a lot of people!
Now the innovation again, abolishes the exit card, implements the electronic information collection, undoubtedly has greatly facilitated the goverment office and the national travel! People who often leave and leave the country will find it more convenient.
