TransOceanTwo Posted May 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hello... Can't seem to get Correct Answer from NCL Customer Service so I am seeking assistance from past NCL Middle East Cruisers. Does NCL (Jade in this case) issue Visas ONBOARD for excursions into Egypt, Jordan and Oman OR do you have to obtain Visas yourself before boarding? SPECIFICALLY, the NCL.com website under Visas .... 1) Makes NO Mention of Jordan what so ever BUT the Jordanian Government Website says Visas are required of everyone! 2) Makes NO mention that Visas are required for US Citizens for Egypt BUT the Egyptian Government Website says Visas are required of everyone! 3) Mentions that Visas for Oman are processed by the onboard ship crew. I am simply trying to confirm whether or not onboard visas are obtained for Egypt and Jordan and Oman. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

KINGBOBOFTHENORTH Posted November 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2021 When we were on a cruise last year (not NCL) that docked in Egypt, the cruise line had collected all passports at embarkation and didn't return them until the last morning of the cruise. At that time we found an Immigration stamp (tourist visa) from Egypt/Alexandria towards the rear of the passport. It is highly likely that the same process will be followed by NCL. They will handle all the needed Visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzad Posted August 12, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Hello, You would probably not be surprised that I am having the same issue with NCL now. There is still no mention of Jordan at all. The only response from NCL is to refer me to a paying visa service company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkandmimi Posted August 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2022 NCL representative told us the other day that they will handle issuing visas once onboard. Hope it's true because I'm excited about Jordan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkandmimi Posted August 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2022 This may answer the Jordan question -- from the US embassy website: Entry/Exit Requirements For U.S. Citizens A passport and a visa are required. Jordan issues visas to U.S. citizens for a fee at most international ports of entry and at most international land border crossings upon arrival. The visa currently costs 40 JD ($56.50 USD) for a single entry, 60 JD ($85.00 USD) for two entries, and 120 JD ($170.00 USD) for a multiple entry visa. However, visas are not issued upon arrival at the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge land border crossing. U.S. citizens must already be in possession of a valid visa to Jordan or have a special entry permit from the Jordanian Ministry of Interior to enter Jordan at this crossing. U.S. citizens are typically given visas that are valid for 30 days. Foreigners who wish to stay longer than the time given to them by Jordanian immigration upon entry into Jordan must register at a Jordanian police station before expiration of that time. Travelers who fail to register properly subject themselves to a fine of 1.5 JD (approximately $2.10 USD) per day of overstay. This fine is usually assessed at departure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
