Trans-Tasman Visa Arrangement for 2015 Cricket World Cup

People travelling to Australia and New Zealand for the 2015 Cricket World Cup will only need to apply for one visa, as agreed by the Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand. This visa will be issued in accordance with Australia’s existing visa framework and will streamline procedures for genuine Cricket World Cup spectators and participants.​​​
