クラブのコレスポンデンツ、Proinde P&Iより船員の身分証明書にかかわる情報を入手しました。ブラジル入国管理局(連邦警察)は、船員のビザが免除されるには、国籍に関係なくILO のC185加盟国が発行したSID (Seafarers’ Identity Document) のみが法的に有効な渡航文書として認められています。入管当局は、ILO C185 SIDまたは有効なビザ付きパスポートがない場合には乗組員交代の許可が下りないとしています。

UK Club correspondents Proinde P&I have provided the below Circular for the interest of Club Members. The Circular outlines the seafarer identity documents currently accepted by the Brazil Immigration Authority (Federal Police) and the heightened immigration controls currently in place. 

Only SIDs issued by ILO C185 member states are legally valid in Brazil as a travel document to exempt working seafarers from the need for a visa, regardless of nationality.
