Viet Nam Visa

[jjrbus]

If I travel to Viet Nam by land from Cambodia, can I get a visa at the Border, or would it be better to get one in advance?

[Guest chingy]

its alway nice to have thing in advance, don't you think

Get in advance it saves a lot of hassles.

Also dont know if the rules have changed but you got to make sure that you "port of entry/exit" is registeredon on the visa.

When i was working in Hanoi about 7-8 years ago I got them to put in both Noi Ba Airport (Hanoi) and Ton San Nhut (Saigon) and could leave from both.Met a lot of backpackers who came over land and tried to leave by air but were told they had to go back the way they came.(PITA)

Get your visa at the Viet Nam Embassy in Bangers which is just opposite the US Emb.For years they each tried to oudo each other with the height of the flagpole..however.

Also dont give them your passport.

They can take a copy and issue the visa when you get back to them.

The standard entry and exit point is “Noi Bai/Tan Son Nhat”, i.e. Hanoi and HCMC airports. If you plan to enter via one of the land border crossings, then you should specify the name of the crossing when you apply for your visa and make sure it's specified there. If you arrive at Danang airport or a crossing point not shown in your visa, you might be refused, or more likely pay a fine. Last I heard was around US$ 40.00.

Visitors from nearly all countries around the world do need a visa and visa on arrival does not rally exist. There are some ways but forget it, just get the visa, which usually grants a one month stay.

Rinrada, why not leave the p/port? They have to paste the visa into it, then send the p/port to their consular officer to sign. They do not glue your visa on a copy of the p/port. In BKK I send a messenger in the morning and pick up the p/port with visa in the afternoon.

Get it before you go. If you decide to stay you can pay the $$ to Ann Tours in Saigon and get just about anything you want ( in terms of a visa)
