The period of time an alien may be permitted to stay in the United States is determined by the immigration authorities at the time the alien is admitted. (6) Passport visas other than multiple-entry transit visas granted to United States citizens in possession of valid passports issued by the Government of the United States of America will be valid for any number of applications for admission into New Zealand, New Zealand Island Territories and the Trust Territory of Western Samoa during a period of 24 months from date of issuance provided that the passports of the bearers remain valid for that period of time or should they expire are revalidated prior to the expiration date of the visa. Multiple-entry transit visas will be valid for 12 months on the same terms. 2. The foregoing arrangements will not apply in respect of the grant of visas to aliens applying for admission into the United States and its possessions, with the privilege of residing permanently therein. The fee for such visa and application therefor is 10 dollars or the equivalent in foreign currency as prescribed by the Immigration Act of 1924. Furthermore, it is understood that this agreement will not exempt United States citizens traveling to New Zealand, New Zealand Island Territories and the Trust Territory of Western Samoa, and those New Zealand citizens covered by the agreement traveling to the United States and its possessions from the necessity of complying with the respective New Zealand and United States laws and regulations concerning the entry, residence (temporary or permanent) and employment or occupation of foreigners and that travelers who are unable to satisfy the Immigration Authorities that they comply with these laws and regulations are liable to be refused leave to enter or land. 3. If the New Zealand Government are prepared to accept the foregoing provisions the present note and your reply in similar terms should be regarded as placing on record the agreement between the two Governments which will take effect on April 1, 1949. Please accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. (Sgd.) R. L. SCOTTEN.
