Visa Info

As per immigration regulations in place as from 1st November 2010 ALL on signing crew are to be in possession of a valid visa for entering Schengen territory. Dutch Embassies and/or Consulate are instructed to issue a visa for a seaman with priority (normally this will take 3 days up to 1 week).

In order to apply for a visa the seaman needs to have his recommendation letter from his manning/crewing agent and/or his contract. It is not required to have an invitation letter from the agents at the port where he will sign on. Also an OTB is no longer required when a seaman has a valid Schengen visa. Further we can only arrange crew changes from Brussel Airport if the crew has a valid Schengen visa or has EU nationality.

Above is explained in this attachment.
