I cant answer the question, but have been faced with having to get visas.... in my experience as you never know which countries you may visit (plans have always changed when I've been cruising) I have always obtained visas locally. As an example Venezualan visas were obtained in Grenada. But equally we were turned away from a US island (Saint Croix) as we had no visas! and sent to another port of entry to get them.
I'd do the same again, travel with none and then sort it out when you arrive, if you've got time on your hands its not a problem.

You could always have a look at the Foreign and Commonwealth office site.

You will have to go country by country but there's lots of advice including visa requirements

Are you the same Chrissie that's trying to sell the pub and get away from Walford before the old bill get you?
It won't work you know, even if you get a visa to somewhere else, they can bring you back here eventually!
Might as well turn yourself in now, I reckon. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi Chrissie
check out http://www.onpassage.com/Country_Information/Country_information.htm
Its quite good. I have used it, and when double checking with the relevant country it has turned out to be correct every time. It would be sensible to use this as a guide, and not as definitive though.
Regarding Tigawave's post - I am sure Tigawave has a preffered passport such as an European, or possibly US passport. Try doing that with a South African passport and I am sure you will quickly decide it is well worth the effort to sort out visa's before you go!!
Cheers
