alex8912 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I’d wish they do it for Americans but I doubt it. After waiting 4 business days to get an e visa last week they sent It late ( everything on line says within 3 working days) there were two mistakes on it. It started 2 days late and it ended a day early. I didn’t care about ending date but a warning to others who need an e visa, they are slow and sloppy. I had to buy 2 new air tickets to get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since America does not give visa exempt status to Viets, I don’t see why Vietnam should give visa exempt status to Americans. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all the countries that Vietnam gives exempt to, those countries DO NOT give to Vietnamese. I always love a posters like yours response to: for example why European countries don’t give visa exempt to Thais , Vietnamese , Cambodians , Burmese , Laos people etc. Really dude if you don’t know exactly why it kinda makes you look foolish. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have long memories you know. I did say “ I doubt it “ but I think it will happen soon especially if they want more tourist $$ they changed it from one year multiple entry only for about $140Usd to E visa 30 day $25 , even all those countries that get 14 days have to get e visa ( I’m quite sure for stays 15-30 days ) So they are treating Americans the same in that respect already. Lastly there really are very few Vietnamese who were around during the war. The young population is HUGE. They don’t care. I lived in Japan in the 90’s and treated with the upmost respect as are Japanese in America. I completely disagree about “ memories “ of war. Nobody really cares ( very very few) I didn’t learn about WW 2 in high school , nobody does , same for Vietnam war. This is not disrespect to you guys who served but it’s just the way time flies and generations forget.

That is all true of course, but I do believe in the old saying that those who forget the history are destined to repeat the same mistakes again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traubert Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Perhaps the endless stream of Hollywood films depicting Americans slaughtering Vietnamese people is putting them off? Plus the cancer rates for areas soaked in Agent Orange. I'm pretty sure the Cambodians and Laotians are not too enamoured with all the unexploded ordnance scattered about their countryside too, but as you say, that's for another thread. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said most countries including the USA need at least an e visa for 15-30 day visits which is just as cheap $25 for Americans as it is for others. So your reason for the above immaturity level you live at is NOT a reason at all. A one year multiple entry visa has the same cost and paperwork for Americans and others and is also easy to get Mr Drama Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartoshka Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Russians don't even have to pay for 1 and 3 month visas obtained in the airport by an approval letter. Ahhhhaaaaa. All others have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 as most Vietnamese were born after the liberation of Saigon they don't give a toss about the 'american war' and choose to get on with their lives...I suggest that folks on this forum of a certain age do the same... imperialist wars with the french and the US got what they deserved...'nuff said...enjoy the coffee, fresh baguettes and avocados...western imperialism's bounty... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know why of course. Nevertheless, I can’t stand posters who think that they are superior to others, purely on being born a different nationality and therefore feel entitled. Not saying that you are but a lot of westerners are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the visa on arrival. 10 minutes, $25 dollars and got it in a few days. Simple easy. Third time. I don't bother with the Evisa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
