ACT's proposing changes to Permanent Resident Visa requirements to make sure holders are actually living here.
The party wants to increase the initial two-year travel condition for Resident Visa holders to five.
Residents would be able to travel freely in and out of the country after this period, but would need to spend at least 730 days here during any rolling five-year period.

She says they're welcoming all migrants who genuinely want to be here, but her job is to fix the system if it's being exploited.
