Doonite Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hii Captain C, Thanks and gud luck to you.. Well for the PCC, the main issue was for Liberian one, I could not obtain one and thus they asked for a Character statutory declaration and internally they went for a penal waiver for the same. It took some time to get the waiver and the last thing i was asked was the "Good Conduct Letter" from employers for Liberian vessels served. I provided the same and grant came thru. Gud luck to you!! Amit Well done!! The best things come to those that wait! Out of interest, what was the story with the PCC's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashton86 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi all Just a quick update to let you all know I submitted my documents to AMSA yesterday in person at the Sydney office. Now we await Canberra's incredibly long processing times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi all Just a quick update to let you all know I submitted my documents to AMSA yesterday in person at the Sydney office. Now we await Canberra's incredibly long processing times! Shouldn't worry about the wait times, they quote 28 days but I'm sure the majority of folks on this thread will vouch that it comes a bit faster than that. That is providing that the documents are all in order, which, as you submitted them direct through the Sydney marine office, then I'm sure they will be.

Welcome to the forum, this is definitely the best place for advice and guidance for the process, especially for the oral's preparation.

You will need police clearance certificates from every country that you have lived in for at least 12 Months. You will also need PCC for each country of nationality for ships that you have sailed on for more than 12 months in total (for example: you sailed on a ship registered in Panama for more than 12 months in total and a ship registered in Bahamas for 9 months in total....you will only need the Panama PCC.) B AMSA INITIAL ASSESSMENT AUD$240 AMSA ORALS AUD$430 SEAFARER MEDICAL AUD$400 AMSA SKILL ASSESSMENT AND ISSUE OF CoR AUD$350 Visa fee is available on the DIBP website C You can do it all yourself but at own risk. D No Be guided by the information contained in the AMSA website and the DIBP website.

CaptainR Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 I will say, that if you don't have the time to read this thread and the immigration website and AMSA properly first, then definitely go for an agent. The information is all here, amongst a lot of threads, but if you are determined you will find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
