maggie_sim Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 <p>Sorry.. I am a bit off topic here. Planning a photography trip to Vietnam in December. I heard of the visa queue in the airport. Anyone of you tried visa application online? I googled and found this website, www.---------------.com. Kinda easy as I can just take the photo using webcam. Just want to be sure before I apply...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 <p>I would not trust anything on arrival in Vietnam. All rules/laws in Vietnam seem to be dependent on who you are dealing with and you don't know what will happen at the airport there. Apply for your visa through a Vietnamese travel agency or directly with the embassy. The embassy is very clear about the process.</p> <p>When I went, I booked my flights through a Vietnamese travel agency (prices for flights about half the going rate) and they got the visa stuff done.</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariosforsos Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 <p>I have been to Vietnam and the evisa process is pretty flawless. Mind you, that was using what appeared to be the official site (there is one, http://www.visa-vietnam.vn). I paid my money online with a CC, uploaded a relatively good image and upon arrival at HoChiMinhCity airport, followed the signs, gave them my passport and confirmation printout (it arrived electronically within 3-4 days), waiting 10 mins, got my passport back with the visa and was on my way.</p> <p>No problems.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArthurRichardson Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 <p>My experience is arranging your Visa before travel saves you a lot of frustration......</p> <p>Travelling to Vietnam I had the Visum arranged through the embassy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg_na Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 <p>I also think that you should get your visa before you leave and as Jeff mentioned earlier it's best to work with a Vietnamese travel agency so they can get it for you from the local Vietnamese embassy or consulate, our visa was valid for 3 mos. Applying for a visa for Vietnam online seems a bit risky to me...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkle-Mpls Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 <p>I applied (Sept 2012) for a Visa directly to the Vietnamese embassy in DC (I live in the USA). I needed to provide an Express Mail return envelope with the package I sent to them. Sent it in on a Monday, had it in the mail returned to me and ready for my travels the following Monday. Easy peasy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angkordave Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 <p>There is now a visa on arrival for most countries and major airports. You will need to check first. so If you are in any doubt get your visa in advance</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
