Going on a Cruise - Kritin Global

Why Do You Need a Visa for a Cruise?

Many travelers assume cruise passengers don’t need visas since they’re not staying overnight—but this is not always true.

Visa requirements depend on:

  • The ports you visit
  • Nationality (passport you hold)
  • Cruise line policies
  • Shore excursion rules
  • Embarkation and disembarkation ports

At Kritin Global, we analyze your itinerary and provide tailored guidance on which visas you need—and help you obtain them quickly and accurately.

Common Cruise Destinations Requiring Visas

🛳️ Here are examples of popular cruise routes and the common visa requirements:

  • USA (e.g., Alaska cruises): ESTA or B1/B2 visa for non-citizens
  • Canada: eTA or Visitor Visa
  • Europe (Mediterranean): Schengen Visa
  • Asia (Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, India): E-visas or paper visas based on port policies
  • South America (Brazil, Argentina): Tourist visa or visa waiver
  • Australia & New Zealand: ETA or visitor visa (if arriving/departing via cruise ship)

Cruise lines don’t always handle visas for you. If they do, it’s often limited. Kritin Global ensures you’re prepared well in advance.
