UPDATED TRAVEL AND IMMIGRATION POLICY
In an effort to reflect the new rights of Sertian citizens and residents by the 4C agreement with the Republic of Nofoaga, the Council of Diplomacy has issued new immigration and travel rules.
COMMUNITY STATUS
The 4C agreement states that any travel document stamped by the relevant authorities of both Gadalland and Aspern and Nofoaga are entitled to free movement between these countries. This is known in Gadalland and Aspern as Community Status.
If the visa or travel permit you are applying for does not specify you have Community Status, you must apply separately. You will be advised upon application whether your permission and purpose of travel is eligible for Community Status.
This does not apply to citizens of Gadalland and Aspern or the Republic of Nofoaga who hold valid Sertian or Nofoagan passports.
TYPES OF TRAVEL PERMISSION
Visa
Citizens of countries not included in Ambassador Act 2021 will need a visa to come to Gadalland and Aspern. The type of visa you apply for depends on your eligibility and your purpose of travel.Certain visas are automatically entitled to Community Status, and some are not. You may apply separately for Community Status when you apply for your visa, or when you've arrived in Gadalland and Aspern and your visa is valid.
Permit
Depending on your purpose of travel, you may need a Permit. Apply for a permit online.
Citizens of countries listed in Ambassador Act 2021 do not need a visa or travel permit to travel to Gadalland and Aspern if:
- You are staying for less than 180 days,
- You are not seeking employment
For any other purpose, or for a stay longer than 180 days, you will need to obtain a relevant permit.
You will also be given Community Status for the first six months you are in Gadalland and Aspern. If you need more time under Community Status, you must apply before your current status expires.
Where the chart says Community Status Applicable, you will automatically have Community Status if your visa or travel permission is approved. Where Community Status is not applicable, you must apply separately.

HOW TO RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT IN GADALLAND AND ASPERN
The government wishes to make available the proper utilisation of the many health services available to those in Gadalland and Aspern. Here you will find the resources which are available to you should you require any medical assistance.
Sertian healthcare is divided into Emergency and Non-Emergency Services. Law requires all areas of Sertia have at least two Emergency and Non-Emergency facilities, whilst cities are required to have at least four.
Emergency services include police, ambulance services and the Caribbean Maritime services. These are used for life-threatening emergencies. To access this, you may call 777. You may be asked for your address and other personal information, but never for your National Tax Number, immigration status or payment card information.
Non-Emergency services are accessed using L-00-P, and are only accessible within the Sertian Union, and not within Caribbean or international waters or territories. You will be connected with your local hospital or surgery to receive basic medical advice, including whether your condition requires more urgent medical treatment. Where relevant, you may be asked to enter another extension line to receive more specific medical advice. L-00-P is free to use, and is available 24/365.
Who Has Access
Healthcare is available to those who are legally present within Gadalland and Aspern. In other words, you must be a Sertian or Nofoagan citizen or legal resident to access Sertian Healthcare.
Resources for those with Illegitimate Status
Illegitimate Status refers to those who are not technically legally present within Gadalland and Aspern. This can happen in many situations, including but not limited to:
- Sertian or Nofoagan citizens who were born abroad and never registered domestic residence
- Non-citizens who are living in Gadalland and Aspern without permission, or expired permission
- Stateless persons, born within or without Gadalland and Aspern
By Sertian law, if you have Illegitimate Status you are still entitled to medical care, but your options may be more limited. For example, you may not be able to register with a medical practise if you are not legally recognised or you may need to pay for medical care after you receive it.
Because of this, you are encouraged to legitimise your status within Gadalland and Aspern as soon as possible. Regardless of your nationality, you may apply for temporary access to the central medical services by paying a fee and entering your personal information. This access will last for six months and allows you to work on making legitimate your status whilst still being able to access medical treatment.
Please be advised that while your status will not be disclosed to any other legal authority by Sertian Health Services, we cannot guarantee your stay in Gadalland and Aspern will not be interrupted if it is not legally permitted.

First Speech from Head Councillor Guthrun Wond
27 December, 2021
People of Sertia,
I sincerely want to thank each and every one of you for electing me as your Head Councillor. This is truly a revolution.
Ever since I got out of jail, I have thought every day that my election to this position would be the happiest day of my life. And it has very much been so.
With many thanks to Ms. Édutitalle Dína, I am here to tell you that we are now going to be the Gadalland and Aspern the world wants us to be.
For many years, I have watched this country deteriorate under the unfair rule of radical socialist leaders, such as Ms. Dína and Mr. Spiggen. We have seen how they mishandled the terror attack in November by locking us in our houses.
And last Summer, when Mr. Spiggen dangerously told the Nofoagans that they were welcome here, defying the orders of Spain.
And our failing health system which, contrary to public belief, is terribly ill-prepared for a public health crisis.
And you, the people. You have cried out for help for years, to closed ears. But now, I am here to help you. We will make Gadalland and Aspern a great place for everyone.
As Head Councillor, my first order of business will be to stop the terrible infiltration of railways through our quiet neighbourhoods. We will stop this uncontrolled influx of refugees taking precious jobs from precious citizens, and there will be no more unfair government. That is my promise to you.I'll see you soon, Sertia.
Thank you. -
Embassy of Gadalland and Aspern in Spain to Become 4C Consulate
All Embassy Services Will Be Moved to the CCCC Embassy
07 January 2022
Following the 4C agreement with the Republic of Nofoaga last year, the government has decided to move all embassy services to the Embassy of the Caribbean Community in order to centralise movement.
The new Embassy of the Caribbean Common Community Commission will operate out of the Embassy of The Republic of Nofoaga in Spain.
The Consulate of the Caribbean Community will operate all embassy services on a diminished scale, or as an overflow relief facility. All consulate services will operate out of the old Gadalland and Aspern Embassy address.
This change is to provide streamlined assistance to Sertians and Nofoaganese, as well as visa services for non-citizens.
The government has also mandated that all existing Embassies, Consulate Majors and Consulate Minors of Gadalland and Aspern are to begin offering Caribbean Community services, with immediate effect.

On the Government Renaming Project
The Customary Logistics has overwhelmingly voted to re-organise the Sertian government, to allow for more straightforward, efficient operations as Gadalland and Aspern begins to get more involved in EU affairs.
This restructuring will involve keeping many existing powers of the government, but adding, renaming, or taking away certain departments that do not benefit government efficiency. It will also reflect Gadalland and Aspern's new status as a Caribbean state.
This new structure will also allow for departments to be added and removed more easily, as needed in the future.
This resctructure DOES NOT constitute a shift in any government operations, nor will it, in any way, compromise the stability of this government.
The government also hopes to introduce the Individual Department Scheme, a developing project aimed at fair lobbying.

Foundation of the Sertian National Fund
25 May 2022
It is the utmost pleasure of the Customary Logistics Council to announce the creation of the Sertian National Fund. This nationally-owned foundation is the cornerstone of Sertia's newly-designed welfare system.
We as Sertians value the strength and vitality of our local communities. It is the government's wish to support our strong interpersonal connections which contribute to Gadalland and Aspern's rich culture, allowing solidarity and independent thought but maintaining a healthy level of co-dependence and unity.
The Sertian National Fund (SNF) is where taxpayer money goes, and government support comes from. Through the SNF, the government will provide financial support for the needs of our citizens.
The following benefits will become available with the creation of the SNF:
- Low Income Supplementation
- Financial support during periods of unemployment
- Student Financial Support
- Promoting equal access to our developing public transport system
- Guaranteed assistance for voluntary donors
The SNF will also oversee and strengthen existing benefits, such as the Elder Care Fund and the Sertian Health Service, as well as create increased social safety for our citizens.
The government has allocated 40% of its spending to the SNF alone for the first two years, and the rest to general infrastructure.
More information regarding eligibility requirements will be soon to follow.

EVACUATION MANDATE
FROM THE OFFICE OF METEOROLOGY:
The Braetha has approved a proposal to instate an evacuation mandate in anticipation of Hurricane Ferra's landfall.
Hurricane Ferra is currently a low-pressure system to the southwest of the Sertian islands. We anticipate that Ferra will be a Category 4 Hurricane when Ferra makes landfall.
Category 4 Hurricanes pose substantial risk to human life and existing structures, even those considered 'Hurricane-proofed', with winds up to 150 km/hour. Rain, lightning and wind can threaten the security of your home and your utilities.
Beginning at 19:00 on 30 September, all persons living in the affected area(s) will be strongly advised to evacuate inland. Compensation will be provided for transport and accommodation will be provided through the Quartering Act 1980.
Please carry your national identity card with you during the evacuation as you will need it to prove you are entitled to accommodation.
