@Benjamin *****

perfect advice , thankyou as I was worried if I would have had to send my passport away for a visa . I’ll use the visa exempt route and purchase the required prerequisites before entry, unless of course anything changes in the months ahead .

@Benjamin *****

thanks . I used to be on O based on retirement, got a job and will be on an FPSO for three months so I was thinking of getting a visa in advance of the sail as will be difficult after that and then the quarantine etc . What do you recommend?

Thanks
