Habitual residence

Habitual residence is a term used in many international instruments and is used specifically in the Australia and New Zealand agreement to define each country's jurisdiction. It is intended to be a simple non-technical term, applied to the facts of each case. A person's country of habitual residence is the country in which a person usually lives. 'Residence' means more than presence, as it refers to a place where a person resides or lives for a settled period. 'Habitual' indicates that something more than occasional or short-term residence is required, but continuous presence is not required. A person who is present in a country as a tourist or in transit is not habitually resident in that country.

Examples

M arrived in Australia recently and stated on their entry documents that they intend to establish themselves in Australia. M is considered to be a habitual resident of the country from their entry date.
F has been living in New Zealand for 8 months and appears to have no immediate intention to leave jurisdiction. F is considered to be a habitual resident of that country.
