Asked on September 28th, 2024As Malaysian citizen does one need a visa to go the Bucharest. If so where does one apply or does the company apply for one?
Avalon WaterwaysOperator•Written September 2024Regarding your question, it doesn't seem like Malaysian passports need a visa for Budapest, but we can't advice. Please contact your embassy or check your governmental site for the most up-to-date information.

Heidi
Traveler•Written October 2024My companion is a Malaysian citizen and I am Dutch. When we want to take the cruise to Bucharest we have to go I believe through Serbia. Can my companion come along though Serbia is asking for a visa. Can my companion come along on the boat without getting down in Serbia.
- Avalon WaterwaysOperator•Written October 2024
For visa reasons, you will only need to worry about the entry and exit locations. This means you will need to present your Passport and Visa upon arrival in The Netherlands and on departure in Romania. There are no passport controls once you are on the ship and going through the different countries.

Traveler•Written October 2024My companion a Malaysian citizen would like to come along from Bucharest to Amsterdam. I understand that we partly have to go through Serbia for which that person has no visa. Can she come along and when we are going through Serbia not coming off the boat and as it were on transit through Serbia. Is that possible.
