On 16 April 2014, the governments of the passport working group (Australia, Korea, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand) released a consultation paper to seek views from the public on the details of the proposed arrangements. This follows the signing of a statement of intent on the passport by representatives from Australia, Korea, New Zealand and Singapore in September 2013, committing to jointly issuing such a paper.
Interested parties are invited to make a submission on the consultation paper via the relevant economy:
- Australia
- Korea
- New Zealand
- Thailand
- Singapore
- The Philippines
Submissions will be published on this website unless a submitter specifically requests that the whole or part of the submission is treated as confidential.
Consultation closes on 11 July 2014.
Following this consultation, economies which decide to be passport member economies will work to finalise the arrangements by early 2015 with a view to the passport commencing in 2016.
