Kooolmomma Posted February 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Does anyone know if you need visas on a "Grand Voyage?" We are travelling to Turkey on the Prinsendam and we will be going onshore in a couple ports and Turkey requires visas for normal touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomica Posted February 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You should check with your travel agent or, even better, directly with HAL. I've been to Kusadasi, Turkey on a cruise and didn't need a visa - it may not be required if you're on a cruise ship (or perhaps it's dependent on what ports you'll be visiting).

Maryandi Posted February 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You will have to Check w/HAL. We had several visas that were charged to our shipboard account. I don't have our passport here (it's out getting a Brazil visa). Our itinerary was slightly different from yours, so check with them.

ronvoell Posted February 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We have taken several Grand Cruises and have always received a packet of forms from HAL to be filled out and either mailed to Zierer or some other company of your choise that gets visas. Many countries limit the time period that a visa is valid to 3 months so the form packet is not mailed out until you get close to the 3 month period. Zierer may require photos (some contries require them), your passport and a fee to cover the country's visa charge and Zierer's labor. You can visit http://www.zierer.com to get info on the various country requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Turkish Embassy visas are not required for cruise ship passengers. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooolmomma Posted February 12, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thank you for your responses. I will check with HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bout2c Posted February 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You need to make sure your passport is valid at least 6months from your arrival in Turkey. I was surprised by this. Mine would be valid only 2 months. So I need to get a new passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
