Embarking your ship in Sydney, Australia

Electronic travel authorisations (ETAs) and declarations (ETDs) are likely to become more common in the future. Many countries are adopting ETAs and ETDs to enhance security and streamline the entry process for visitors.  Because countries are introducing this electronic process at different timeframes, it’s important that you check with your Global Talent Partner / Crew Compliance team what requirements exist in your destination for your nationality.

Please check with your Global talent partner/ Crew Compliance team what visa or travel documents you need for your entry in Sydney
