The Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection has issued a factsheet relating to non-citizens working on vessels in Australian Ports.
Non-citizens on all vessels in the migration zone are required to hold an appropriate Australian visa. This includes international and domestic vessels in Australia’s migration zone to undertake scheduled and unscheduled repairs and refits, both within and outside of dry dock facilities.
There are various appropriate visa options. In circumstances where multiple visas are appropriate, the Department of Immigration and Border Protection should be contacted for further advice, or a Registered Migration Agent consulted.
The information contained in the fact sheet is current as at 9 June 2016. Australian law may change after this time resulting in a change in visa options. Please check the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s website for further information at http://www.border.gov.au/.
This notice is largely to ensure that Owners Superintendents, technicians, etc, visiting vessels in the country’s ports have the correct visa – in this case being a Temporary Work (Short Stay Activity) visa Subclass 400.
