The purpose of this Act is to have laws relating to residency compiled in a single Act, to legislate in regards to jus sanguinis and jus soli, and to create and define the legal category of alien.
-
In accordance with Article III of the Austenasian Constitution of 2011, the population of Austenasia is comprised of its subjects and its residents. Both subjects and residents are considered Austenasian nationals.
-
In accordance with Article III, Section C of the Austenasian Constitution of 2011, those who have their permanent residence within Austenasia are counted as residents. In accordance with Paragraph 2 of V Dec. I 2011 (Immigration and Border Controls), any person moving to live permanently in Austenasia must register their residence with the Home Office as soon as possible in order to be added to the Census and receive the status of a resident. Furthermore, in accordance with Paragraph 7, Subsection B of XXX Jon. I 2014 (Parents, Guardians and Children), all children born in Austenasia must be registered by their parents with the Home Office as soon as possible if their permanent residence will be in the Empire, in order to be added to the Census and receive the status of a resident.
-
If a person who does not live in the Empire was born in Austenasia and/or at the time of their birth was the child of two Austenasian subjects and/or residents, upon reaching the age of sixteen years they may (upon application to the Home Office) be granted non-residential subjectship. Such applications shall be refused only for reasons authorised by the Prime Minister, and such refusals may be overruled upon appeal by the House of Representatives or by the Monarch.
-
A person who is temporarily within Austenasia holds the status of an alien. Aliens are required to follow Austenasian law while within the Empire and are guaranteed all human rights recognised by Austenasia, but hold no other rights or duties. Aliens must inform the Home Office or Austenasian Police when entering and leaving the country.
-
An Austenasian subject can only lose said status by the authority of an Act of Parliament; the only way that an Austenasian resident can lose said status is either by the authority of an Act of Parliament (in which case they would be considered an alien) or should their place of permanent residence no longer be in Austenasia; a resident who permanently moves abroad must inform the Home Office so that they can be removed from the Census and no longer be considered a resident.
