Vietnam visa for UK passport coming from Hong Kong by ship

Vietnam visa for UK citizens coming from Hong Kong by ship - I am travelling on a cruise ship for a week from the 12th November 2011. Is it possible to use the email/electronic system for visa on arrival if I am travelling by boat rather than arriving into an airport? I am a holder of a full UK passport.

I am travelling on a cruise ship for a week from the 12th November 2011. The ship will travel from Hong Kong to Singapore but it will stop on 3 different nights along the coast of Vietnam. I would be grateful for some advice about what visa type I require...

1) As the boat will be travelling / at sea overnight does this count as "leaving" the country and, if so, does this mean that I require a multiple entry visa?
2) Is it possible to use the email/ electronic system for "Visa on arrival" if I am travelling by boat rather than arriving into an airport?

I am a holder of a full UK passport.
Many thanks for your help and advice.

Best wishes
James Manners

Answer


Dear James

1) you need a single entry visa in this case because you are not out/in Vietnam but travel along the coast or within Vietnam, so single entry visa is sufficient.
2) Visa on arrival is available for those who fly to Vietnam only. In case you are arriving by sea, you have two options:

a- Visit Vietnam embassy in London to get your visa (http://www.vietnamvisabooking.com/vietnam-visa-in-uk.html)
b- Obtain your visa at Vietnamese consulate in Hong Kong (http://www.vietnamvisabooking.com/vietnam-visa-hongkong.html)
We suggest that you apply for your visa in Hong Kong to save money on visa application.

Have a wonderful trip to Vietnam.

I contacted them regarding my 3 months tourist visa and I immediately get the answer from the agent, Mr Alex. What I found amazing was the quickness which Alex responded to my inquiries. All of this for the lowest price, too. I would highly recommend Vietnam visa booking's service...
