Visas

Schengen, 90 in 180

Social cover

The six-month ENIM rule

A 2017 French decree (no. 2017-307) concerns crew deemed French residents on foreign-flag yachts. ENIM guidelines of 2018 apply it once a stay reaches six months in a 12-month period. Time a yacht spends immobilised in a shipyard is excluded. The employer is responsible. (SuperyachtNews, 2018.) Check the current rule for your yacht.
