VisaCentral cannot assist if you do not reside in a country where we have an office. You can use our immigration division, Newland Chase (wholly owned by CIBT, Inc.) to obtain the necessary visas for your cruise.  The total fee is USD 650 per person. Canada and Saudi visas are not included in this fee: Canada visas are handled by Newland Chase (NC) Canada due to licensing requirements and Saudi visas are charged at our standard consular rate of USD 880 due to the complexity/amount of work involved. 

Please download Crystal's Step-by-Step Guide to Country Visa Requirements Based on Mode of Entry and Exit. Visa requirements may differ depending on how you arrive in or depart from a country, and this guide will help you determine the correct documentation for your specific voyage or combination of voyages.

  • *We are restricted from booking appointments for some visas in some locations (this due to local IP restrictions, One Time Passcodes etc.), however, we will provide guidance on how the applicant can book the appointment, where this is required.
  • For most visa applications, an appointment and personal appearance is required. Accompaniment is therefore not included as standard. If any on-the-ground support is required in terms of filing the application on the applicant’s behalf (where applicable), an additional fee will apply and we will quote this on a case-by-case basis.

  • Cases initiated and then cancelled will be subject to cancellation fees based on the amount of work already carried out as follows:
  1. In the event that a service request is cancelled by the Client or the traveller prior to Newland Chase’s submission of the application to the appropriate issuing authority, then Newland Chase will charge 50% of the regular service fee if preparation work has been performed by Newland Chase.
  2. If the service request is cancelled by the Client or the traveller after Newland Chase’s submission of the application to the appropriate issuing authority, Newland Chase will charge the full service fee.
  • If you wish to place a case on hold, Newland Chase will agree to this for no additional charge for a maximum period of three (3) months. After the 3-month period, the case will be cancelled and fees charged as per the cancellation policy.
  • Disbursements such as relevant local taxes and courier charges have not been included.
