Anyone been to Vietnam recently?

Can i go there on a british PP without applying for a visa.

I have read that if the stay is less than 15 days this is ok, can anyone confirm ( or not )?

Thanks.

It ends soon I believe.

Thai nationals can enter visa exemption for 30 days.

We entered without a visa about 6 weeks ago, visa free, flying from Manchester to Ho Chi Minh via Doha. Both the Qatar Airways check-in desk in Manchester and Vietnamese immigration on arrival in HCMC insisted on seeing proof of our onward flight out of Vietnam (in our case a flight from Hanoi to Bangkok).

I was travelling on a British Passport and my wife on a German passport.

The visa waiver is currently for 15 days but I believe this expires at the end of this month. However, I am told that it is likely to be extended, although at short notice, and in fact the local tourist industry are lobbying hard for it to be extend to 30 days, the same as Thailand.

However, the London Embassy are currently stating that to date they have not been advised of any extension. Further details are here: http://www.vietnamembassy.org.uk/
