** WA /IOT travel approval process update - Friday 31 July 2020 **

Under the new travel zone with Western Australia, please note that you are exempt from quarantine requirements if you haven’t been outside WA or the IOT in the past 14 days. You will still need to apply for entry to WA.

I know some of you have been experiencing issues with your applications, including rejections of G2G applications.

We have been listening to your feedback and are working closely with the WA Government to resolve these issues.

I ask for your patience whilst the assessment processes for travel to WA are embedded. Should you experience any problems, please email IOTAdministrator@infrastructure.gov.au and we will facilitate a resolution.

Please continue to follow the instructions published in the Territory Controller’s update of Wednesday 29 July 2020.

People are encouraged to apply using the “Good to Go Pass” app which can be completed electronically. It can be found at www.g2gpass.com.au/.


IOT to WA – how to complete the WA application:

=> Nominate “Persons otherwise seeking to enter WA”

=> In the free text field, detail the nature of travel: entering under the Quarantine (Closing the Borders) Direction: Exempt Traveller (Indian Ocean Territories Traveller) Approval Under Paragraph 27(r).

=> declare that in the last 14 days prior to entry into WA, you have not been outside the IOT or WA (noting that there is a penalty for providing false information)
Please note, the travel zone exemptions only relate to air arrivals.

All IOT entry and travel requirements remain unchanged – people still need to apply for travel approval to the IOT using the electronic application form (indianoceanterritories.wufoo.com/forms/iot-traveller-request-form/ ... See MoreSee Less
