  1. We check with our PC physician. We give her a list of all the countries we will visit and she does the research. Vaccines are recommended based on her research and our medical history. I would never trust anything dealing with my health to an “experience Asia traveler’s practical advice”.

    We are sailing by NCL Jewel in Dec 2023 and going to Indonesia which requires a visa . What address do you put on the application form when it asks you ? I called NCL cust service and no one knows. The application form is asking for an address in Indonesia even if I chose arriving by sea . 

    I am on that cruise someone on roll call shared this address. I used it and our visa were approved. It took 3 business days.
    Nha Trang seaport, 05 Tran Phu, Vinh Hoa, Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa province.

    Thank you, but I would like to hear from anyone who has visited Bali in recent times with Celebrity  and their experience - if there is anyone out there!

    Sorry by I didn’t see that in your post. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Everyone received a card, we did our own thing for tours etc.  please note that this was our experience with Azamara.  We have also visited with Princess some years ago (Phu My) who also arranged the same thing but at a much more significant cost to each pax.  

    NCL will not discuss visas with its passengers prior to boarding. We are doing a back to back. Better safe than sorry. Our multi-entry visa is good for both cruises for only $50.

    We had one day in Bali in March 2023 on Azamara and they arranged the visa for all on the ship (other than those who obtained their own prior to sailing) - cost of $32 USD or thereabouts was charged to our On board account.  If they can do it why can't other cruise lines do the same?

    Good question but you would have to address that with the other cruise lines. The cruise lines can only answer that question. I do know that some cruise lines charge double or more the actual cost of the visa. In my case we are doing a back to back and it was quite possible we may have been charge $600 or more for visa as we are doing a back to back. Some note that you the passenger are responsible for securing your visa(s).

    We also enter another problem. They need an address for when we are visiting Vietnam. We put down our cruise ship " Celebrity Soltice " and the application was turned down due to that. What address did you put down if cruising for the evisa? Thanks.

    No, I did not put the cruise ship as the name. Someone on the same cruise I am on reached out to the Vietnam Embassy and was giving this as the address. Please keep in mind I am on an NCL cruise ship and we may not dock in the same location. The address I used: Nha Trang seaport, 05 Tran Phu, Vinh Hoa, Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa province. Good luck.

    Can you please tell me how you filled out the Fullname field?  I have listed last name, first name, middle name.  I have listed first name, middle name, last name.  I keep getting denied.  I have listed exactly as soon on the bottom of my passport.  Very frustrated!  They won't answer inquiries either!

    You are so correct they will not answer inquiries. For SURNAME I put in my last name. For GIVEN NAME I put first then middle as it appears on the passport. If suing a middle name please make sure you put a space between the first and middle name. PLEASE DO NOT USE A COMMA BETWEEN THE FIRST AND MIDDLE NAME. Let me know if that works.

     

    If this does not work then it must be something else wrong.

  9. It was only difficult because NCL refused to cooperate and give me the correct information. Otherwise, I am sure it is a breeze. It took less than 15 minutes once I submitted payment for them to email the EVOA to me. Hopefully you will not have to deal with NCL.

    What type of address and post code do they want?  Do you mean our home address or one in Indonesia?  Of course, we don't have one in Indonesia because we are on a cruise ship!

    I used the address where the ship will port, which I got from NCL. However, the postal code NCL gave me was in correct and they left me on my own to figure that out. After much research I got the correct postal code. The EVOA is good until the end of December. The cost was around $33.00.

  11. Just completed our EVOA for Indonesia. We will port there in December on the Jewel. An address and correct postal code are required. Good luck.

  12. Finally, what I have been waiting to hear. I report this was in the works a few weeks ago. This will save me a few $ since we are doing back to back and both have stops in Vietnam.

    This visa will be a multi-entry 90 days. This will be great for those of us doing b2b cruises. As it stands now we have to apply for Vietnam visas for both cruise as current visas are single entry and 30 days. My DH and I will only need to apply for one visa. Something should be announced sometime in June. I am following this one closely. 
     

    It appears, Vietnam is hoping to increase tourism with this new visa.
