Application for Maritime Crew (Temporary) visa (Subclass 988)

This is to advise that YUNG CHEUNG was granted a Maritime Crew visa (Subclass
988) on 21 August 2008.

This letter contains important information about this visa.

VISA GRANT NUMBER


The visa grant number is 8059542444524. This is the unique number assigned to the
visa.

VISA INFORMATION
This visa allows the visa holder multiple travel to Australia by sea only, for three
years from the date of grant, which means that they can leave and re-enter Australia as
a crew member on a ship as many times as required during this period. THIS VISA
IS NOT VALID FOR AIR TRAVEL TO AUSTRALIA.

YUNG CHEUNG will not have a visa label placed in their passport when travelling
to Australia as the visa is recorded electronically in Australia's visa systems. It is
recommended that YUNG CHEUNG keep a copy of this advice for their personal
records and to remind them of the legal requirements of the visa.

Please note: The visa is linked to the passport number that YUNG CHEUNG provided
in their application. If YUNG CHEUNG obtains a new passport they must advise the
Brisbane Global Processing Centre by email (mcv@immi.gov.au) mail or courier of
the new passport details before travelling to Australia, or they may not be permitted to
enter Australia.

VISA LEGAL REQUIREMENTS


Please note: this Maritime Crew visa has been approved subject to the holder
continuing to meet the legal requirements to maintain the visa.

The holder's Maritime Crew visa will automatically cease and be invalid:
* if the holder does not sign onto their ship within 5 days of arriving in Australia by
air on a Transit visa and holds no other visa to remain in Australia; or
* if any other visa that is held is cancelled, or if the person is in Australia on any other
type of visa and that visa expires and the person becomes unlawful; or
* if the visa holder signs off their ship and does not depart Australia within 5 days,
obtain another type of visa or sign onto another non-military ship in that time; or
* if the ship on which the visa holder travels to Australia is ceasing its international
voyage status and is declared 'imported' for domestic consumption by the Australian
Customs Service (Customs), and within 5 days the visa holder does not depart
Australia, sign onto another non-military ship, or does not obtain another suitable visa
from the department to authorise their continued lawful stay in Australia. The master
of the vessel should make the crew aware if Customs 'imports' the vessel.
If there are compelling reasons beyond the applicant's control which may prevent
their departure from Australia within the 5 day sign off period, they must contact an
authorised officer of Customs or the department to consider an extension to the 5 day
period while they are still lawful.

The holder's Maritime Crew visa will also be ceased if:


* the holder no longer satisfies the legal requirements under which they were granted
the visa;
* the holder performs work while in Australia other than work that is required in
relation to the usual operational requirements of the ship; or
* it is determined that the visa holder's presence in Australia is undesirable.

Note: It is very important that YUNG CHEUNG understands and follows these visa
legal requirements. If they fail to meet these requirements, their visa will be ceased
and invalid and they will be prevented from leaving their vessel while it is in
Australia, or they may be removed from the vessel and placed in detention until
arrangements for their departure from Australia are made.

If YUNG CHEUNG does not understand the visa legal requirements they should
contact the Brisbane Global Processing Centre in Australia for further information.
