All reservations (regardless of whether they’re made directly or through a travel agent) should provide all necessary passport information at least 24 hours before your arrival for registration purposes. Please be aware that should you choose to book through a travel agent, then your chosen third party will have access to details including your: full name, DoB, passport number, and visa expiry date.
We may also ask for information related to your travel preferences so that we can specialise your service for you. Via indirect reservations (eg through third parties such as travel agents), we only receive the names of guests.
When we meet our customers, we are obliged under international law to take a copy of their passports. We provide an e-copy of this to the Vietnamese Immigration Department - Public Security of Quang Ninh Province. This information is only used in cases of national interest for immigration, visa, and emergency purposes.
