change to st petersburg paperwork

[Will_Dieterich]

Cruise to st Petersburg last week and there is a change to the no visa entry.

We got the standard info that a card will be in your room and then the day before we got the new procedure.

 

You will now not get the two part form on the ship.

 

When you get in port get off the boat and go to immigration control with your passport and proof of tour. The immigration control officers now printout the form and put your half in your passport. You get the entry stamp at this time as before. Some slow downs with printers jamming but not bad and quick.

 

When you return the first time they take the 2nd half and give you the exit stamp.

 

Any addition exists from the port just require stamped passport and proof of tour.

 

As for problems that occurred, one family had their kids rejected entry because passport pictures looked to different, we also had a Dutch couple with visa, miss the boat; taxi took them to wrong port. They had to do some flights to get back.
