FILIPINO CREW MEMBERS: Do I need a visa appointment for China, Australia, or New Zealand?
No, you do not need a visa appointment for required visas to enter China, Australia, or New Zealand. Filing for these visas does not require a visa appearance.
Note: When needed, the visa team will apply for the Australian Maritime Crew Visa and Transit visas directly. You will receive an electronic copy of the visa via email. To avoid delays, ensure your POEA contract is submitted on time at RCM
