visa requirements for canadian

[Fluffy Terry]

we are looking at a princess cruise next year 15 day china, taiwan & vietnam.  But the visa thing is confusing.  As we are flying into Japan I dont think we need a visa, but there are two stops in china, do we have to apply for a visa or does princess

[cnd crsr]

Best thing would be to check with Princess or your TA.

 

When we had stops in China (about 6 years ago) we had to get our own. I don't know if things have changed.

CC is *NOT* the place to get visa info.

 

Lots of disappointment and expense possible if the info is merely outdated, much less if it applied to someone

whose situation is not quite the same as yours.  Customs and immigration folks are paid to be picky.

Totally agree with Haboob!  Talk to your TA and then go to your local “Service Canada” office or look at the government of Canada web site and verify “Everything” the TA has told you.  Do not trust hearsay information for an issue this critical.

Bon voyage

If you need a visa for China, Princess will not handle it for you.  It depends on your itinerary.  EM

If you are going to two ports in China that do not include Hong Kong you will need a visa.   You will have to get it through the Chinese Embassy yourself.

 

You will not need a visa for Japan BUT if you are carrying a CPAP machine or more than 1 month's supply of prescription medication you will need a Yakkan Shumei.

 

A word of warning do NOT carry anymedication into Japan that contains codeine.
