Any longer you need a letter from your employer But easy to extend when there. I met many people on long stay visa's when there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't issue 3 month visa's, not sure about 1 month though. I got a 3 month tourist multiple entry last year online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, as when I was in Perth last month I did the visa online there no problem. Are u trying the vietnamvisa.govt.vn website ??? It's working fine here in Thailand at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauleddy Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I don't think you can be on a retirement or leisure visa in VN (unlike Thailand where your yearly extension costs 1900b). As I remember, staying more than 3 months needs a business visa or teacher visa (same thing??). If you had a real or fake letterhead it was never a problem to extend. The whole thing runs on money. I'm not sure, but I don't think VN has an elite 10,000US permanent visa or a MM2H-type thing. Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalred Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 that vietnamvisa site is a agent to get letter of approval then still pay for visa at airport on arrival what i understand is the new evisa direct from govt is one visa fee only not the private agent approval letter cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy & only takes 2 days (standard) You just print out the form they send you & fill it in & present it on arrival & they put the visa in your passport. Even in Oz u can do it this way. I'm based in Thailand & do It this way. Much easier than having to go to the embassy in bkk Thanks for the Info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalred Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 vthe new govt website not working yet as they said 1feb would only pay one fee 25$ on e visa so had to go to agent again pay 6$for letter at Vietnam visa pro .com had letter of approval in 4hrs there are a lot of other names off approval on your letter but ok all the other ones pretend to be govt and charge higher fees for a pretend service so strongly recommend Vietnam visa pro .com cheers Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current advice is that you can both enter Vietnam visa free for the tip you've outlined. http://vietnamembassy.org.uk/index.php?action=p&ct=Notice1_2017 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephant45 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I just got a one year multiple entry from VN Embassy in BKK and it was 4cm x 6cm photo, applications are there and 7200 thai baht not dollars. Passport of course. NOt busy easy service. That is about 65 usd more than the letter with stamping fee. But, I just found it so confusing online that I would much rather have a visa in my passport prior to arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
