mispi Posted February 23 #126 Share Posted February 23 Maybe it is not a problem, but... When I print a pdf Vietnam e-visa, the state emblem of Vietnam and QR code on the sheet are not very sharp and look a little bit blurred even if I print in the best quality of print. Is it OK, please? Have you similar experience with the print? I arranged the visa cross third party organisation with good refferencies in Trustpilot (it wasn´t possible to pay with my Credit cards in official Vietnam state page -unknown reason) and in this era of the cheats I am little bit affraid.

IMswimmer Posted February 23 #127 Share Posted February 23 With my experience, in every port, the official simply look and/or collect a photocopy of the visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as your E-VISA number is clearly visible, the number xxxxxxxxx/EV underneath the title "ELECTRONIC VISA". Most cruise lines will verify your Vietnam E-VISA during your embarkment process and assign a pass for your Vietnam shore visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsglow Posted April 29 #129 Share Posted April 29 So I'm going to bump this up as e-visas for the Carnival Panorama in October are now entering the timeframe window. No info from Carnival as of yet. Still plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Neil_c Posted May 1 #130 Share Posted May 1 I am confused This is from The UK government website "You can visit Vietnam without a visa for up to 45 days for tourism or business. If you want to stay longer than 45 days, you can: book with a travel agent in Vietnam and ask them to apply for a visa pre-approval letter – your agent will tell you when to collect your visa from the embassy." So why the need for a visa? I can assume US are treated Differently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise ship companies do have how-to sample document, and Vietnam gov't website does post list file for seaports and provinces. Actually is very easy to apply the e-Visa if collected all the required information ahead. Don't shoot first and ask questions later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that an exhaustive search of the interwebs is necessary to come up with the REQUIRED port address means it is difficult by definition. And seeing that all that is being done for me is a huge load off thousands of cruisers, myself included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already did the Celebrity sailing. Discovery Princess won't let us apply our own e-Visa, and must pay US $75/PP fee. (money grab). The google map address function is very handy, display in English and in local language. Use it to show local taxi driver where I want to go, no lost in communication translation. Enjoy your transpacific cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlaMariner Posted May 19 #144 Share Posted May 19 We will be stopping in Vietnam in October (2024) on a Carnival ship and it looks like from an email we received from Carnival this past week that Visa's are all handled by Carnival with nothing for us to do......I can handle that..... From the email: VIETNAM – A visa will be issued upon arrival (it is not necessary to apply for one ahead of the cruise). The cost of the visa and landing fee is US$31, per guest, which will be applied to your onboard Sail & Sign® account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamCan Posted July 11 #147 Share Posted July 11 On 6/26/2024 at 7:08 AM, monkey@cruise said: YES, either apply own e-Visa or handled by cruise lines. We are travelling to Hanoi for 1 wk pre-cruise. We then fly to Singapore to board our cruise, so exiting Vietnam. Our cruise stops in Phu My port (Ho Chi Minh city) for 1 day. I think we need to apply for a multiple entry tourist e-Visa valid for 30 days as we will be exiting Vietnam for our pre-cruise and then entering Vietnam on the cruise. Does the multiple entry e-Visa cover entry by air and sea? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello again monkey@cruise! Which link did you use for getting the eVisa for Vietnam? The one you have put here, or the one on the Canadian Government website which directs me to the Vietnam Immigration Department? Does it matter?
