Dear john,

I will provide two local handliners
Check out 3 days prior transit, get your port clearance to your next destination.
Immigration stamp from airport is valid for 6 months
Handliners and guest not to be on crew list, as you came back by plane not necessary Visa.

Just for clarification, when you arrive in a boat, you will be issue a entry stamp which is valid for 3 days, then you will obtain a Visa at immigration office, only the persons who are sailing with
You, however, it is not your case as you re-enter by airport and the stamp criteria is different with a validity of 6 months.

Please send me this information to register you and request admeasurement inspection:
