Date, unless any of the circumstances mentioned in clause 988.512 of Schedule 2 to the
Migration Regulations 1994 occur as mentioned below, which means that you can leave and
re-enter Australia as a crew member on a ship as many as required during this period.

Maintaining a valid visa
Your visa allows you multiple entries to Australia by sea only, for 3 years from the Visa
Grant Date. Your visa will cease before this time if any of the circumstances mentioned in
clause 988.512 of Schedule 2 to the Migration Regulations 1994 occur.
For example, your Maritime Crew Visa will automatically cease if:

you do not sign onto a non-military ship within 5 days of arriving in Australia by air on a
Transit visa and hold no other visa to remain in Australia; or
any other visa that you hold is cancelled; or
you sign off your ship and do not sign on to another non-military ship within 5 days and
do not depart Australia before whichever is the later of 5 days after you sign off your
ship or the expiry of any other visa you hold; or
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 5 days
after your ship was imported or entered for home consumption, and you do not depart
Australia before whichever is the later of 5 days after you ship was imported or entered
for home consumption or the expiry of another visa you hold.

If you are not the holder of another visa, and you do not sign on to another non-military ship
within 5 days of signing off your ship or within 5 days of your ship being imported or entered
for home consumption, and you are not able to depart Australia within the same 5 day period,
you should contact an authorised officer of Australian Customs or the department to request
an extension to the 5 day period. Any request must be made to and decided by the authorised
officer before the 5 day period expires.

while in Australia that is inconsistent with your duties as a crew on board a non-military ship.

international spread of wild type polio virus to be a Public Health Emergency of International
Concern under the International Health Regulations (IHR). Nine countries, listed below, have
been identified as having suffered recent outbreaks of polio.
If you are from one of the countries listed below, or have spent 28 days or longer in these
countries on or after 5 May 2014 we encourage you to have a polio vaccination prior to

advisable to have the vaccination at least 4 weeks prior to your travel.
