🔍 Key Concepts

• Immigration status of crewmembers when entering the U.S. • Difference between resident vs nonresident and alien vs U.S. citizen • Which crewmembers are covered by a crewman's landing permit when arriving from a foreign port

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is this permit tied to being licensed/unlicensed, or to a person’s nationality/immigration status? • Consider whether U.S. citizens or permanent residents would normally need a special landing permit just to come ashore in their own country. • Think about whether the rule applies to every crewmember on board, or only to those who are not entitled to enter the U.S. without special permission.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options focus on license status (licensed vs unlicensed) versus citizenship/alien status. • Decide whether resident aliens (green card holders) would be treated differently from nonresident aliens for landing purposes. • Eliminate any option that would obviously include U.S. citizens who already have the right to enter the U.S. without a special landing permit.
