New eligibility requirements
- Thread starter belovedbeloved
- Start date
Lots of discussion in multiple topics.
That said, the revised statutory provisions were published at the Parliamentary Business website in final form June 19, 2014, which were almost exactly the same as what was published February 6, 2014, and the formal OFFICIAL publication of the SCCA was August 13, 2014 in Part III of the Gazette. Additionally all the provisions were posted at the Justice Laws website (still, today, the revised residency provisions are only posted as provisions not yet in force, but they are there) . . . so we have known the details for a very long time now . . . so there have been many discussions about the precise details of the revised requirements ongoing in this forum for well over a year (going back to February 2014).
The only thing that is really new is the precise date the revised requirements come into force: June 11, 2015.
