Ballenisles1 Posted October 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2011 We're on the Jan 4 cruise out of Singapore on the Quest. I know we need a visa for Viet Nam. Does anyone know if we can get those on board the Quest upon arrival in Viet Nam or do we have to get them from a consulate or visa service? If I have to get them myself, since we stop at three ports in Viet Nam, do we get the one month, multiple entry visa or will the one month, single entry visa be accepted by immigration? Thanks...

Christine Frances Posted October 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Your Visa will be provided on board. They just charge it to your inboard account ($40pp I think). It is the most wonderful cruise - have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane Hi Diane, My wife and I are on the same cruise and I can confirm the visa service is provided onboard by Azamara. I checked with both our TA and Azamara directly (2 different agents). See you in 2 short months! :) Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comcox Posted October 29, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2011 The only time you need to get your own visa for Vietnam is if you are going through one of their airports otherwise you are covered by ship's blanket visa. On our Azamara cruise a couple of years ago my husband left the ship for a couple of days to go on a birding tour and then flew to join the ship at a later port; for that he had to get his own traditional tourist visa. Also those passengers who did Azamara's extended shore ex to Angkor Wat from Bankok to HCM City also needed regular visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a small world, as they say.... Diane and Bob Diane, I sent you a quick note via email...and yes, a personal message is fine on CC...just so long as you don't advertise for a travel provider. Anyway, I have a good guess as to what our "thing in common" might be...I'm getting a word beginning with a U and ending with a D...;) Talk to you soon!

Sue ...aah interline ... reminds me of our first cruise (Cunard) when we sat at a table with a retired TWA employee ... and he told us how little he paid for his cruise (not that we asked, and would have preferred not to know). :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyboy1971 Posted December 17, 2011 #17 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Azamara does a terrific job of handling all the port paperwork and visas on this itinerary. Our cruise actually included a stop in Cambodia where the port agent rolled out a little office and set up a security board then hand-applied huge paper visas (a whole page in the passport visa section) and hand signed them. One of my coolest souveniers ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my coolest souveniers ever. Interesting. We missed all of that. We sent our passports to Wash DC to get Cambodian Visas ($20.00 each). Ours also take up a full page in our passport. We left at that port and flew to Angkor Wat, and than met up with Quest in Bangkok,Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
