Visa Requirements

[uncle al]

We are cruising to Singapore and Malaysia in February 2020 with Princess lines and have had an e-mail from CIBT visas that say that they are a "preferred visa supplier" and say that we need visas for Vietnam and Cambodia
From what I can see the ship will sort out the Vietnam visit but I'm not sure on the Cambodian visit
Any ABers know what the Cambodian position is? I think this CIBT is chancing their arm and charging through the nose, as some sites will do when you need a British passports
Thanks in advance

You can get a Single Tourist Entry e-visa online from the official website of the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

I'd check with Princess first. Cruise ships often have special arrangements with local authorities covering their passengers. Then again, they too may overcharge you for it.

I would recommend you start looking here at the UK government website

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

It does advise that visa requirements are subject to change; as someone who has cruised often, it is common for countries to waive visa requirements for cruise passengers who are disembarking for less than 24 hours (otherwise those cruising the Caribbean, visiting many island countries would require a fist full of visas).

Apparently Princess do it for you, according to their website
Costs $30 US
Thanks to all respondents

Should have gone to Cambodia with TUI/Marella cruises in February but there was a problem with Vietnam waters so never actually docked there, Nevertheless the visa would have cost $30 US per person which was debited to our on ship account in sterling and subsequently refunded. Would suggest taking some dollars with you but check with
Princess lines if they adopt a similar procedure. Visa into Vietnam was free.

My son, who is a British Passport holder, visited Vietnam and Cambodia a couple of years ago and didn't need any visa.

Buenchico's link says the Cambodians charge you $30 plus $6 processing fee, so definitely go with Princess's procedure - they've probably factored the extra charge into your fare already.
