After You Lodge Your Application

Interview requirements

In some circumstances it is possible that you may be contacted to attend an interview before your application can be finalised. If you are required to attend an interview, you will have to bring your passport and any other requested supporting documentation.  Interviews are usually held at the most convenient Australian Diplomatic mission.

If your visa is approved

If your visa is approved, the Maritime Global Processing Centre will send a notification of grant letter or email. Please keep this notification with you when you travel to Australia as it provides:

• your visa grant number
• the validity date of your visa
• the legal requirements to maintain your visa.

Note: Your visa is linked to the passport number you submitted with your application, therefore you must use the same passport to travel to Australia. If you obtain a new passport, you must advise the Maritime Global Processing Centre of the new passport details before you travel to Australia, or you may not be permitted to enter Australia.

If your visa is not approved

If your visa is not approved, the Maritime Global Processing Centre will send you a notification letter or email advising you of the reason for refusing your application.

You will also be advised in that letter whether the decision to refuse the grant of a Superyacht Crew visa is reviewable by the Migration Review Tribunal.
