Thanks, Jack ???? Looks simple enough, though hopefully the situation will be crystal clear when the time comes for us to make the trip. It's also great to hear that Bui Vien is handy for the consulate. After being kept out of SE Asia for three years I'm eager to sit in a laughably small plastic chair and drink cheap beer in the street outside a terrible tourist bar that's also a launderette and someone's kitchen ????

Is it easy to travel to Saigon from BKK at this time (i.e. are there any quarantine requirements, Covid insurance nonsense, PCR tests within x days of travel, etc.)? Like the OP my wife and I are returning to BKK in Sept/Oct for 5-6 months after 3 years exiled in Mongolia, and we'll stay the first 3 months on an SETV and an extension. We'd usually do Vientiane for our second SETV, but if HCMC is easily accessible I'd love to head to Vietnam and spend a week or so eating my bodyweight in pho while we await our visas ????
