Australia’s Department of Home Affairs Maritime Global Processing Centre (MGPC) will be closed from 4pm on Thursday 14 April until start of business on Tuesday, 19 April.
The processing of some eligible Maritime Crew (subclass 988) Visas (MCVs) may continue during this period. However, applications requiring further assessment by a departmental officer, such as incomplete visa applications or those requiring further information, will not be decided within this period.
It is the responsibility of crew members to ensure that they have a valid visa for entry into Australia otherwise penalties may apply, including the crew member being restricted on board the vessel and/or infringement notices being issued to the employer.
Those needing MCVs granted for entry into Australia over the Easter period must lodge their applications at least 10 days prior to departure from a port overseas in order to avoid any issues with delays to processing. This means MCV applications should be lodged no later than Tuesday 5 April for crew who are intending to arrive in Australia from an overseas port between 15 and 19 April.
The Australian Border Force will remain operational on a continued 24/7 basis over the holiday period.
