Kim Kardashian placed on watch list
Reality star Kim Kardashian, 31, has been placed on an immigration department watch list Kardashian isn't banned, but her history may be taken into account when she applies for a visa.
The launch of the range at Hugo's in Kings Cross attracted worldwide headlines and coverage - and did not go unnoticed at the Department Of Immigration in Canberra.
We're told a subsequent investigation found her two previous visits - in 2007 and last year - were also for business purposes.
Any future Kardashian visits to Australia will now be heavily scrutinised.
The Immigration Department declined to comment on Kardashian directly - but did issue a read-between-the-lines statement to Confidential.
"For privacy reasons it would not be appropriate to discuss particular details of an individual because people who enter Australia must abide by the conditions of their visa," a spokeswoman told us.
"If people are undertaking work in Australia they need to be on an appropriate visa with work conditions attached."
But wait, there's more.
"If people do breach conditions of their visa, then the department can counsel them or cancel that person's visa ... and the department may record their breaches and immigration history.
"Their history would then be taken into account if they apply for another visa to enter Australia.
"The identities of such people are then put on to a Movement Alert List."
