LarryHal Posted August 28, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Will be going to Vietnam on the Spirit in December. Do I have to make any special advance arrangements for a Vietnam entry visa? Thanks, LarryHal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew358 Posted August 28, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I was in Vietnam in June, you do need a visa or they won't let you off the ship. I arrived by air and got a 'visa on arrival', which I think is offered if you arrive by ship. You can also send your passport away to get the visa stamp in advance. If I remember correctly, you should apply for the visa at least 30 days before arriving in Vietnam. You can google vietnam visa, there are a lot of agencies that can help you process one.

dalliowner Posted August 28, 2007 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Last year, when we arrived in Vietnam on the Spirit, the ship obtained a group visa for everybody. It might be different if you are arriving by air independantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditcat Posted August 29, 2007 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2007 The visa for Viet Nam were handled by the Spirit staff. Each of us were given our visas individually when we got to Viet Nam. We kept them until we left our final vietnamese port. The cost of the Visa was put on our suite charges. Hannah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slightly OT, but do you know if the same process is done for Brazil? I understand one is needed for that country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margate Cruiser Posted October 4, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2007 If you are going to Brazil first and you are entering the country or your staying at the end of the trip you must have one. Also check for your yellow fever shot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margate Cruiser Posted October 4, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2007 If you enter china you need one and if you stay on in china you need one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troonster49 Posted October 28, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2007 We are on the same cruise and counting the days! You can purchase your visa onboard (approx $60) and it is charged to your cabin. Couldn't be more convenient. troonster49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margate Cruiser Posted October 28, 2007 #9 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Not for china. I just got our pre- cruise folder and an application was in there for china. It's not cheap. about 160.00 per person for a single entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnycruise Posted October 28, 2007 #10 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Perhaps the application you have has a handling fee. The "official" fee is $100 for six months multiple entry. johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
