Maritime Crew Visa processing for Easter 2018

The Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs) Maritime Global Processing Centre (MGPC) will be closed from 4pm Thursday 29 March until start of business, Tuesday 3 April, and will not be processing any Maritime Crew Visas (MCVs) during this time.

You are encouraged to ensure MCV applications are lodged at least 14 days prior to arrival in order to avoid any issues with delays to processing, crew arriving without visas, or associated punitive action. This means applications should be lodged no later than Thursday 15 March for crew that will be arriving between Thursday 29 March and Tuesday 3 April.

The Australian Border Force will remain operational on a continued 24/7 basis over the Easter holiday period.
