REGULATIONS.
-
THESE regulations may be cited as the Samoa Immigration Consolidation Order, 1924 (hereinafter referred to as “this Order”), and shall come into operation on the first day of April, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four.
-
(1.) Part 1 of the Immigration Restriction Act, 1920, together with all Orders in Council and regulations made thereunder, shall, subject to the provisions of this Order, apply to Samoa in the same manner as if that Territory was part of New Zealand.
(2.) The term “New Zealand” as used in that Act shall both in New Zealand and in Samoa be construed as including Samoa.
(3.) The terms “The Minister of Customs” and “an officer of Customs” as used in that Act shall be construed as meaning the Administrator of Samoa.
- (1.) Save with the authority of the Administrator, no person (other than a child under the age of fourteen years) shall land in Samoa from any place beyond the seas unless and until he has made and delivered to an officer of Customs or of police a declaration in the form in the Schedule hereto.
(2.) A person arriving in Samoa as the master or a member of the crew of any vessel, or as a passenger in the course of his journey by that vessel to any place beyond Samoa, shall not be deemed to have landed in Samoa within the meaning of this clause if he leaves Samoa with that vessel on her first departure from the Territory.
(3.) Every person commits an offence against this Order, and shall be liable accordingly, who—
(a.) Being required by this clause to make and deliver a declaration before landing in Samoa, lands in Samoa without having made and delivered such declaration; or
(b.) Makes any declaration under this clause which is in any respect wilfully false or misleading.
- (1.) No person who was born, or whose father was born in any place which on the fourth day of August, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen (being the date of the commencement of the recent war with Germany), was within the limits of the German Empire in Europe, or within the limits of the monarchy of Austria-Hungary, shall land in Samoa without a license in that behalf issued by the Administrator.
(2.) In any prosecution for an offence against this clause the burden of proving that the accused is not a person to whom this clause applies shall lie on the accused.
