Viet Nam Visa

[trbarton]

In traveling to Viet Nam on Princess did you get your visa in advance or get it on the ship?

Any delays if you got your visa on the ship?

Any experiences appreciated.

If you are US Passport holder and not planning to do a overnight off the ship. The easy way is just let the ship handle the visa. But if you do a overnight land tour, or before after in the country you need a regular visa. Visa can be done on line if needed.

We got ours on the ship and they just charged our onboard account. That was for doing shore excursions during the cruise, not land vacations before or after. We hold Canadian passports - not sure if that makes a difference.

On the ship. Seamless process with no delay.

The nice thing about this visa is the ship can obtain it and that is what I would do.

Princess has gotten the visa for us a couple of times. No hassle. They charge the cost to your onboard account.

Simple and easy...ship does it all...pay at end of cruise

Do you recall the cost of the visa, if just doing a shore excursion?

We are US passport holders and it worked exactly the same - we had a Princess excursion, Princess charged our on board account and gave us the paperwork on the ship.

Can’t remember exactly, it was almost 2 years ago, but I believe at that time it was under USD $10.

A recent poster/cruiser stated they were charged on their OBC $30 +3, we were charged $55 +1 , in June 2017 when traveling on Majestic,we did an excursion but during our cruise everyone was charged. I do know some on our cruise got them b4 and saved a few dollars.....I believe getting any visa to early can wastes time and treasure, if one cancels.... so if the ship does it, take advantage.

We did a B2B on the Majestic in the past month. For the first stop in Vietnam we were charged $30. + $3. on our onboard account. For the second stop we were charged $55. + $3. I asked at the front desk why the increase and received no logical answer. However, a few days later when we checked our account the $55. mysteriously changed to $30. We took no shore excursions there, just the free shuttle to the outskirts of Vung Tau. So it looks like you will be charged whatever they feel like charging at the time.
