  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: Citation 'Applicants must either be Ni Vanuatu nationals, of Ni Vanuatu descent, or have resided...12 months' has no subject: it never names Permanent Residency or Subclass 131, so the PR 131 attribution is unproven by the citation (re-cite with the 'Subclass 131 Visa (Part A):' heading, as done in the PR r1 box).)

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
