Hi Guy,

I have landed a job in Vietnam for 12 months and due to fly out in a couple of weeks, my employers have arranged my business visa to pick up from the Vietnam Embassy prior to travel, my concern is regarding my Thai GF who is coming with me - she does'nt need a visa to go there and can stay for 30 days and we are obviously going to be staying longer than 30 days - my question is, is it possible for me to get her a visa that she can extend whilst in Vietnam? Does she need prove of onward travel?

If any one can share any of their knowledge it would me much appreciated.

cheers

Richie

I did this when I had a Thai GF. She came w/o the Visa, then I had the company I work for get her a 6 month Visa. She was never asked for an onward ticket, but I was told by a Thai travel agent that sometimes the airline might want one. You can always purchase a r/t ticket, but keep the return open. Air Asia and Bangkok Airways (codeshare with Pacific Airlines) both fly this route cheaper than Thai.
