Confused about visa requirements

[mornac]

Hi all,

 

Hoping someone can help me. I am booked on the Azura a418 to Scandinavia and Russia and I have an Australian passport. Do I need visas for these countries? I have tried to find out online, but am a little confused now. I will be entering the uk as a tourist 3 weeks before.

 

Thanks

P&O have a special department who deal with queries like that. I would give them a call.

For Russia you will need a visa, but not for Scandinavian countries. Just google up the countries your are visiting for via requirements.

A Russian visa is not required for a UK citizen if you do a ships tour or a tour by a land based tour company, where you are covered under a tour group visa. I would assume this also applies to Australians but you would need to check. A Russian visa is quite expensive and difficult to obtain.

The P&O brochure says that all P&O passengers who have booked an excursion with them will be covered by a group visa.

 

However it is best to contact P&O about this to clarify matters and note that the preferred P&O visa suppliers are there to make a profit so might sell you a visa if you don't need one! :confused:
