Looking to go to Vietnam what is the visa situation from here in Thailand I know the missus dont need one cos she is thai but what about UK citizens ? can I just get one on arrival like in Cambodia ? also what is the cost.

cheers

You need to apply online and pickup the visa when you arrive at the airport. Here's a link: http://www.vietnam-evisa.org/processing.html?gclid=CIyovNzWmrsCFYtV4god4XoAoA

Is that a sponsered service or the official site to do that??

i read some warnings about paying fees for pre approved letters

I'm sure that it's a sponsored site. As there are many of them and they all say official site. Maybe someone will be along with recent experience.

I used this site with no problems & quick response

I've used many different sites with no problems a number of times before. Best to apply 2+ days prior to arrival but urgent requests are available if necessary, at an extra cost, of course.

If in Bangkok you can the visa from the embassy. http://www.vietnamembassy-thailand.org/en/nr070521170031/nr070521170456/ns070629043840

Cost of Vietnam visa includes 2 types : service fee and stamping fee. Time to process about 2 days or faster. We are in Vietnam now
