BronzeRider Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Do correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't immigration under the control of Ministry of Foreign Affairs? If there is no new policy there, the new immigration can't make his own decisions. He'll be a good soldier BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronzeRider Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ok - imm is under the Interior Ministry, but the new head of immigration can't change policy unless he is also the head of the interior ministry.

A_Traveller Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) Embassies and Consulates come under the wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Immigration is the Immigration Police, under the Interior Ministry. A strange division of responsibilities. Same in Japan...... In fact I can't think off hand of a country where this division, foreign representation handled by the Foreign Ministry/ Department of State and Immigration by the Interior Ministry/ Home Office, is not the case.

Maestro Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 imm is under the Interior Ministry, but the new head of immigration can't change policy unless he is also the head of the interior ministry. Changes to immigration policies are made at three levels: 1. Parliament decides on changes to the Immigration Act. 2. The Interior Minister signs Ministerial Regulations issued under authority of the Immigration Act . 3. The Director General of the Police Department signs orders issued under authority of the Immigration Act, usually on the advice of the Immigration Commission, of which the Commander of Immigration Division is a member. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
