Rare NMTraveller Posted December 5, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted December 5, 2023 OK. Well then it looks like this would have to be done on the ship: ** Please note that your trip must be within 3 days (including the date of submission) I sure hope everyone has a phone and wifi...

There is a 3 day window for other countries as well. Sri Lanka has a 2 step process that the 2nd step has to be done within 3 days of arrival. Singapore also requires an arrival card that must be applied for within 3 days of arrival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted December 5, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Historically, X will email out port requirements (like visas) 30 days before the sail date which should include validated government URLs and basic instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had one visa required for Indonesia. However it does not include the digital arrival cards. I think that these are required in Malaysia and Singapore...

We did not get any detailed info from X on requirements. We were told in emails that we were responsible for having the appropriate visas and on some we were directed to Visa Central if we wanted more guidance. We have done other X sailing where visas were required and I don't recall ever getting anything as detailed as you received - and we have been to those same locations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
