I was under the impression that with a JFRV based ARC that I could take the same employment as locals.

However in applying to take the commercial small boat captain’s license exam, I was told that I could only apply for a provisional license for personal use and could not take employment as a boat’s captain. All of my class mates in the class which is required to qualify to take the exam were allowed to test for a commercial license. I was told that foreigners cannot hold this license.

Does anyone know what the law says on this? Where should I look. The course was spendy and I’m left with a chance for a license to play, but not to run a dive boat, or sail charter, or anything that could eventually turn a profit.

I wonder what my recourse is. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Rob
