jmknife Posted September 11 #1 Share Posted September 11 Oceania says that I need visas for Indonesia and Vietnamese, but I am having trouble with the online application process. Is there any easier way to get the visas? I had no trouble getting the Australia and New Zealand visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraM Posted September 11 #2 Share Posted September 11 Just pay the $$ for Oceania to take care of it -- if you want easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmknife Posted September 11 Author #3 Share Posted September 11 Great suggestion. How do I do that? Can I just call Oceania? The people I talked to there don’t seem to know about a Visa program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people I talked to there don’t seem to know about a Visa program? Under the FAQ on their website it has a question regarding Visas. Oddly it only mentions a couple of countries. However it does provide a number to call for visas purchased via Oceania. US Citizens is 1-800-313-1215. This question was last updated in 2022, so who knows how accurate it is for now, but may be worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbaraM Posted September 11 #6 Share Posted September 11 I just had our TA add visas for Indonesia -- it was about $40 pp put onto our credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted September 12 #7 Share Posted September 12 Sounds like you won't get the visas on your own, but if you do, make sure Oceania knows you have them. I think they put a blurb in the Currents (daily paper) about that, but I missed it. They went ahead and got visas for me, although I forget which country they were for (maybe Vietnam?) I didn't know they had done that, so when I went to inquire about it, several days later, they said it was too late to reverse it and refund me the money. I was OK with that, since it was my error. But I just thought I'd mention it, in case you need expensive visas for any country and you prefer to wrestle with them yourself to avoid extra cost.

Rare FlyerTalker Posted September 13 #8 Share Posted September 13 Don't know your itinerary and start/end points. In any case, Indonesia has a fairly simple electronic visa system if you are flying into DPS. VN also has visa on arrival through an online application. Just take it step by step and do not have any ad blockers or other similar features on your browser. That can often hang up processes that use them.

jmknife Posted September 14 Author #9 Share Posted September 14 Apparently, Vietnam no longer requires visas for people arriving on cruise boats. Still working on Indonesia. They are asking for 3 months of bank statements with a minimum of $2000 or $2500 dollars (I can’t remember right now). I would think arriving on Oceania would indicate a basic bank balance.

You want a B1 tourist visa. Here are the requirements from the Indonesian govt website: -=-=-=-= Stay Up to 30 days (extendable for another 30 days) Cost Rp500.000 With this visa you can Conducting activities related to tourism, and visiting friends or family. Participate in meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions as an attendee. Traveling in Indonesia on a yacht (yachter). You must Comply with laws and regulations. Respect local customs, culture, and wisdom. Have sufficient living expenses while in Indonesia. Other information Staying in Indonesia over the period of your stay permit, engaging in prohibited activities, not complying with visa conditions, and/or not complying with Indonesian laws may result in you paying fines, being deported, and/or other legal charges. You are prohibited from selling goods or services. You are prohibited from receiving rewards or wages from individuals or companies in Indonesia.

Visa Validity 90 day -=-=-=-=-= No requirement for bank balances, no large fees (500,000 is about USD32). Try again. And if all else fails, why not just send an email to their address listed on the website. Or use their chat feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
