The new Brazilian Migration Law is now in force and introduces new visa requirements affecting seafarers.
Under the new law, the value of the fines has substantially increased for individuals and companies that violate Brazilian immigration regulations.
Local correspondents Proinde advise that seafarers entering the country on ocean-going ships for less than 90 days are exempted from visa requirements providing they carry a valid seaman’s book in line with the ILO Convention. Visitors and immigrants in the maritime and offshore sectors will be issued with a visit visa for business (non-remunerated, short-term visitors) or a temporary visa for work (with or without a contract of employment in Brazil) if staying in the country longer than 90 days.
In addition to the new law, the Brazilian authorities haves issued new resolutions that re-iterate the obligation on foreign ships and offshore platforms to hire more Brazilian seafarers when operating in Brazilian waters for specific periods.
Proinde have published a useful guide on how the new immigration regulations apply to seafarers. This guide aims to provide a practical overview of the main aspects related to foreign seafarers in Brazil and Brazilian seafarers serving on board foreign vessels in the light of the new legal framework.
