DFAT released internal email correspondence from October 2025 regarding coordination with the Department of Home Affairs on sanctions considerations in visa processing. The exchange discusses a query from Home Affairs about recent UN sanctions on Belarus or Belarusian nationals. DFAT's Sanctions Listings and Litigation section clarified that no recent UN sanctions on Belarus exist, noting that Home Affairs may have been referring to EU sanctions designations related to Russia's war in Ukraine. DFAT confirmed Australia would not enforce EU sanctions and advised Home Affairs to clarify the source of their information with their relevant ministerial office. The documents illustrate routine inter-agency consultation on sanctions compliance matters affecting immigration and character assessment decisions.
