You are absolutely right. In addition, I would assume /hope, that the evisa doesn't require a full page sticker, therefore increase the longevity of your passport. Previously, as a frequent visa runner I ha to get a new passport every 2 years. 

The evisa is a PDF which you print. It therefore saves pages in your passport.

Who knows.  but It all adds to the excitement .

 

Meanwhile , all the consulates are getting some signs professionaly made up :

 

 

                                                            We regret to inform applicants that our

                                                            computers are currently down and we will

                                                            not be processing online applications for

                                                           evisas until next Friday. Our apologies 

                                                            for any inconvenience.

                                                        

Exactly that happened when borders opened again after Covid. It was a technical disaster with people applying with all the docs and the visa coming after your plane had flown .

Those of you who have VPN apps, can you please check if they have Vietnam in it? Can you please share the name of those apps that have it? I’ve checked two and they don’t.

Nord VPN has 2 in vietnam

They can match it up with the stamps in your passport, so if you were to get a DTV from Cambodia your passport would need to have stamps showing you were there at the time it was issued.

yes.  Assuming they can tell the e visa details

I am 67.  First visit to Pattaya was in 2004.  I loved the internet cafes.  Very convenient.  I don't do much online and it was all and still would be all I need.  I almost bought an internet cafe.  Boy that would have been sunk money.  So hard to keep up with Windows software, would have had to replace computers with each windows or mac OS versions.  I still think they have a place. Yes my MOTO smart phone has internet access and I can do much with it, the screen is still pretty small.  Can't open multiple windows and view them easily.  Got to connect to printers as necessary and if even possible depending on the local printer setup.  A computer in a shop would already be setup with a printer.  Security and private information going out on the cafe computer would probably be the bigger concern.
