Maintaining a valid visa

You have been granted an Australian visa. You must maintain your visa status to remain
lawfully in Australia. This is because if you fail to follow the requirements specified below,
your visa will cease and you may be detained until arrangements for your departure from
Australia are made.

Your visa allows you multiple entries to Australia by sea only, for three years from the Visa
Grant Date. Your visa will cease before this time if any of the circumstances mentioned in
clause 988.512 in Schedule 2 of the Migration Regulations occur.

For example, your Maritime Crew visa will automatically cease if one of the following
happens:
● you do not sign onto a non-military ship within five days of arriving in Australia by air on
a Transit visa and hold no other visa to remain in Australia;
● any other visa that you hold is cancelled;
● you sign off your ship and do not sign on to another non-military ship within five days
and do not depart Australia before whichever is the later of five days after you sign off
your ship or the expiry of any other visa you hold;
● the ship on which you have entered Australia is ‘imported’ or ‘entered for home
consumption’ but not registered in the Australian International Shipping Register under
the Customs Act 1901, and you do not sign on to another non-military ship within five
days after your ship was imported or entered for home consumption or depart Australia
within the same five day period.
● If you are not the holder of another visa, and you do not sign on to another non-
military ship within five days of signing off your ship or within five days of your ship
being imported or entered for home consumption, and you are not able to depart
Australia within the same five day period, you should contact an authorised officer
of the Department who can grant an extension of time if there are compelling and
compassionate circumstances.

Your Maritime Crew visa may also be ceased if a written declaration is made by the Minister
for Home Affairs that your travel to and entry, or presence in Australia, is undesirable. A
declaration may be made, for example, if you are found undertaking work while in Australia
that is inconsistent with your duties as a crew on board a non-military ship.

If you do not understand these requirements you should contact the Maritime
Global Processing Centre in Australia for further information. You can email us at
mcv@homeaffairs.gov.au

Maritime crew (subclass 988) visa conditions

Work as sea crew only (visa condition 8113)
This condition means that you must only work as a member of the crew of a non-military ship
when you are in Australia.

Travel to Australia by air

The Maritime Crew visa is not valid for travel by air. Foreign sea crew members who need to
fly to Australia to join a vessel will require another type of visa to enter Australia. You might
apply for a Transit (subclass 771) visa or use the Visa Finder.

Character requirements

Polio vaccinations
On 5 May 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General declared the
international spread of wild type polio virus to be a Public Health Emergency of International
Concern under the International Health Regulations (IHR).

Since 5 May 2014, if you have spent 28 days or more in one or any combination of countries
listed under the Endemic and Outbreak categories on the Global Polio Eradication Initiative
website, we encourage you to have a polio vaccination before departing for Australia. Having
the vaccination will also assist in eradicating the spread of polio.

More information and a link to the list of countries is available on our website
immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/health/threats-to-public-
health#content-index-3

To obtain maximum benefit in assisting with the eradication of the spread of polio, it is
advisable to have the vaccination at least four weeks before your travel.
