Brazil - Immigration Fines Imposed Due To Crew Overstays
North’s local P&I correspondent (Proinde) has issued a circular warning of increased instances where the Brazilian immigration authority (the Federal Police) has issued fines for crew overstaying in Brazil.
A fine will be issued against the crewmember for the number of days in excess of the permissible stay and he may be served with a deportation order at very short notice. Additionally a fine may also be issued to the ship owner for each crewmember which overstays.
