This visa is afforded to crewmen serving in good faith
in any capacity required for normal operating and service
on board a vessel.
This includes people employed by the
owners or concessionaire and trainees.
The nature of the employee's duties,
when those duties are performed and whether the employee
has a permanent connection with the carrier and whether
his/her employment is required for the vessel's operation
are factors that are considered in determining whether
an employee is entitled to D visa status.
There are two types of this visa category,
individual D visas and crew list visa. There are also
D-1 visas (which apply to crews on all types of carriers
except U.S based fishing vessels) and D-2 visas for
USA based fishing vessels temporarily visiting Guam.
The period for admission on this visa
is 29 days.
