Poon Gooey was granted an exemption under the Victorian Chinese Act 1890, which let him return to the colony after a trip overseas in 1900. His exemption was for a period of three years.
Lists of the names of people granted exemptions were published in the Government Gazette. Those granted exemptions were also given a copy of their exemption list which they could use as proof of their status on returning from overseas.
