Needing additional information from previous post PLEASE

[shipmate13]

A bit ago I posted about VISA information for a cruise we are taking from Singapore with stops in Thailand, Vietnam and then Hong Kong.  I called Celebrity Cruises to find out if they provide these visa's for its passengers and was informed that it was the responsibility of the passengers to get their own prior to boarding the cruise ship or will be denied embarkation in Vietnam where Visa's are required for U.S. citizens.  

I went on the website that was provided by Celebrity to complete the visa form and on it, it requires location of entry through checkpoint and location of entry through exit checkpoint ????? The drop down menu has listing for point of entry through checkpoint being Ho Chi Minh as an option to choose however, there is no listing on drop down menu for point of exit through checkpoint (last stop being Hanoi) Halong Bay...... which means I cannot complete this evisa without completing this information.  

Can anyone please tell me if they have used the website provided by Celebrity to complete the evisa for Vietnam??? Also those who have done this trip recently, do they ask to see the visa each time you port in cities in Vietnam????  I have looked at other sites to complete evisa for Vietnam but I am cautious of it's validity and the cost for them were almost 300.00

VISA Vietnam Most guests are required to apply for and receive a Vietnam visa prior to arriving to the pier. • Visa-free • Certain nationalities are exempt or waived from the visa process. We have put together information to help you get started on securing your travel docs for Vietnam. We highly recommend staying up to date with your local embassy or consulate as travel requirements may change. ◦ some information to see if you can travel to Vietnam visa-free. • E-visa ◦ All countries and territories are eligible for e-visa. However, certain countries may take longer period to have their e-visa approved. (Please ensure to apply your e-visa 2 weeks prior to the sailing). ◦ Once you are ready, apply for your E-visa. • Important note: Visa on Arrival (VOA) will not be offered for this sailing. Guests must secure any necessary visas and have all required travel documents prior to boarding.     Guests who require an E-visa or a physical visa must apply no later than 2 weeks prior to our sail date to ensure timely approval and delivery. Be sure that when you apply, you provide your name as it reflects on your travel documentation. Additionally, you'll need to provide the seaport for entry and exit. For our sailing, entry is Vung Tau Seaport and our seaport for exit it is Hon Gai Seaport. Guests who enter incorrect information risk being denied boarding, so please be sure to double check all your information before submitting your visa application.   Hong Kong Many of our guests may also qualify for visa-free travel to Hong Kong. Please review your country's requirements here (open the Part I & II sections for the full breakdown). When debarking in Hong Kong, be sure to keep a printed color copy or a digital copy of your passport photo page. You'll need this to complete immigration before returning to the ship. We hope this information helps you navigate your travel document requirements. If you have any further questions, please reach out to your travel advisor, yourpreferred visa specialist, or contact us directly. Sincerely, Celebrity Cruises
