The Association was recently advised of an increase in the incidents of fines, imposed by the Immigration Authorities in Argentina. The following advice has been received from our local correspondents in Argentina.
We have recently seen an increase of supernumeraries – mainly high ranked crewmembers’ wives – arriving in Argentina without holding the necessary VISAs. In such case, the carriers are subject to a fine imposed by the Migration Authorities which ranges from USD 400 to USD 10,000. The fines, until now, have usually been on the low side and did not imply significant expenditure for the Clubs and their Members.

移民局罚款 – 阿根廷
协会近日获悉，阿根廷移民局罚款案件有所增加。以下为驻阿根廷通讯员发来的消息。
近期发现，越来越多船上编外人员 – 主要为高级船员的妻子 – 未持有所需签证而入境阿根廷。一旦发现上述情形，移民局将向涉事承运人处以罚款，金额从400美元至10,000美元不等。截至目前，此类罚金数额较低，尚未给协会及会员造成高额的费用支出。
