ubonrthai Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Is there a way for an American to get a tourist visa for Vietnam without leaving Ubon? Planning to go up to Mukdahan and over but don't want to bother going to their embassy in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeMock Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Just apply online ubonrthai. I used this company last year http://www.hotels-in-vietnam.com/vietnam/vietnam-visa.html and had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hare Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I always drive from Ubon to the Consulate in Khon Kaen. In all five visits, there has never been anyone else applying for visas. Longest wait was 15 minutes. I do suggest to ring first to check if they are open. A friend of mine went some years ago and it was closed for a Vietnamese National holiday. However, it takes a whole day to go to Khon Kaen and back to Ubon. I leave Ubon at about 7:30 am and get to the consulate at about 11 am. Have a relaxing lunch at the Pullman hotel and usually get back into Ubon at 5 pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaanAndy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 To the best of my knowledge you have to get the visa at a the Embassy or a consulate for land crossings, there is no online visa. Online is only for flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty147 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Savannakhet has a Vietnam Consulate. Anyone have experience there? Easy to do, one-man operation from his booth working out of a small house. All finished in fifteen minutes. Can't remember the cost though. This was last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vietnam consulate in Khon Kaen is open, the cost of a 30 day visa is 2500 baht They also have 60 and 90 day visas. Phone # 043 242 190. I don't know the hours but when I called he said open at 9 am. I did one here before and it took 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
