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 Port Louis.

All international fleet colleagues are required to complete the online Immigration and Customs Form which will be available 72 hours prior to your arrival. Fill in the form at a time and place convenient for you. Once the form is completed, the Immigration and Customs receipts should be saved to your mobile device or printed, for presentation to Immigration and Customs upon arrival.

Mauritius All-in-One Travel Form: Your Digital Entry Form Service

No. While certain nationalities do require a visa to enter the UK, seafarers traveling through the UK to embark or disembark one of our ships are granted a temporary visa waiver (known as Transit Without a Visa, or TWOV) if they hold a Bermudan ID Card or another eligible Seafarer’s Identity Document. Carnival UK, or your Global Talent Partner, will advise you on which document type is required to ensure compliance for travel.

If you encounter any issues when checking in for your flight, please present this UK Government document to the airline check-in staff and explain that you are traveling as a seafarer on duty—either to join a vessel or to be repatriated home.
