How long does it take and how much is it? Someone was telling me on another site that it can be done overnight. How much more do they charge for that?

Can anyone recommend the cheapest carrier to Saigon from BKK? I'll be flying sometime between December 29th and January 3rd.

About 3 weeks later I should be flying from Hanoi to Vientiane. Can anyone recommend the most inexpensive way to do that?

Thanks.

Has anyone used this visa service that Sinh Cafe apparently offers?

They say: We will send all the above information (from the application form) to the Immigration Police , then the Police will provide the Visa approval on arrival. We scan this Visa approval on arrival then send to you by email, you print it for showing to buying airticket and on your arrival.

Give roughly acccurate dates for entry and exit, as per your travel plans.

Forms can be obtained at the Bangkok embassy.

A form looks like that:

Once the visa is granted you should arrive within it's validity.

Btw: Usually the visa will allow you to enter through HCMC or Hanoi-airports

(Tan Son Nhut or Noi Bai)

Should you plan to use other entry points by land or sea you must tell this in your application.

Do I need to show a ticket out of the country when I enter Vietnam? I'm planning to fly BKK to HCMC and then pick up a ticket from Hanoi to Vientiane when I get up to the Hanoi area.

Is the link just down right now or does it no longer work?

It seems to me that the basic problem with this is with the use of words like "most". News of these abuses certainly should make the papers. They just need to qualify them as "some", "a few", or possibly "rare" although I don't know how rare these cases are.

What would it cost to do a PADI intro or open water course there? How much time? I'm looking at January or February next year.

Air Asia to Macau then Turbocat to Central, HK (45 mins)

The math isn't as good as it seems. The turbocat is not cheap, see.

Plus you spend twice as long getting from Macau to Hk as you do on the plane itself.

You can get to HK from Macau for about $140 HK each way which isn't much when you consider that the express train from Central is $100 to the airport each way. You do have to consider the extra time though, a couple of hours.

Hey. Just joined. It'll take me a while to figure out who you are all. Later.
