maggie3 Posted October 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Must we be signed on for a HAL ship-sponsored shore excursion to buy visas onboard for Viet Nam and Cambodia? May we buy the visas onboard if we are signed on for an independent tour with a licensed local travel guide? What is the official word for Viet Nam and Cambodia in particular, please?

eh2zed Posted October 17, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If HAL is getting these visas they will be for everyone on board and charged to your shipboard account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted October 17, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Recently there was a thread about this on another forum. This link will take you there for the full discussion. In a nutshell however, word from HAL was that they wouldn't know until 2 months out if they would be allowed to have the visas issued onboard.

maggie3 Posted October 17, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Is there anyone here on this board who has cruised with HAL to Vietnam or Cambodia who can answer the above visa question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellair Posted October 18, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2011 After our first SE Asia cruise, we decided to get our own visa's here in Melbourne and were much cheaper than on board. Always ask the consulate if you can use a transit visa as with Indonesia as these allow for 1 day visits (ship port day) and are cheaper as you would normally be paying for a 7 day visa and would not use this time. In China where the ship travels to several ports, you would need a multiple entry visa. See my video links below for some of the ports you would visit Regards Bellair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
