Thank you for the information. I too thought about using two single entry VISAs, but I am concerned that it will only be two days between when we leave Vietnam and when we return to Vietnam, which might raise a red flag with the Vietnamese authorities. Did you apply for the two single entry VISAs at the same time,? Did you use the first eVisa before applying for the second? Thank you for such helpful advice.

Oceania has told us that we need a multi-entry Visa for an overland trip we are doing to Angkor Wat. We will be leaving tbe ship in Vietnam, traveling into Cambodia, and then returning to Vietnam to rejoin the ship. Has anyone gotten a multi-entry Vietnam visa recently? Where did you get it? Any special things to be aware of?

Thank you for the all the good information. Our passports are already the extended 52-page version, and they are good until 2026. Currently, I have about 20 pages left in my passport, and my husband has about 25 pages left. (This will decrease with upcoming travel in 2022.) I am deciding if we need to 1) apply for a new passport, 2) get a second (backup) passport, or 3) take our chances that our existing passports have enough pages. Given the amount of time it takes to get a passport renewal, and our other upcoming trips, there is not a long-enough time window when we can be without our passports for the renewal. Oceania's VISA PDF for the 2023 World Cruise says "NOTE: Guests are required to have minimum ten (10) blank visa passport pages at time of embarkation to facilitate passport stamping, including South Africa. South Africa port officials alone require a minimum of two (2) blank visa passport pages (one upon entry to the country and a second upon exit). Ten blank pages does not seem to me to be enough. It may be enough for the VISAs only, but what about country enter and exits. So... if you took a previous world cruise, how many passport pages did you actually use? And, did each country you visited stamp your passport if you left the ship? Thank you again for your insights and sharing of information.

My husband and I are thinking of doing the 180-day world cruise. If you have done one, how many passport pages did you use for VISAS and the country-specific enter and exit stamps? Approximately, how many days/ports/countries did your trip include? Thank you for your help. It will enable us to decide if we have enough empty pages in our existing passports or if we need to get new passports.
