Hi all,
i know this question has been asked a fair bit but i havnt read a definite answer saying yes or no or information on where and how. I know i can get one in Vientiane but im hoping to bypass this city and fly straight to Luang Prabang from Thailand. And i read the thread about getting one online. would prefer to get it in person.
So can i get a Vietnamese Visa in Luang Prabang? Any ideas on cost? how long will it take? Where can I get it from?
Much Appreciated
Shane
p.s. if it makes a difference im an Australian citizen. i will be traveling with two others, one is Irish, the other is Aussie.

Have you checked whether there is a Vietnamese consulate in LP? My guess is not. Why not get the visa in BKK if you don't want to go to Vientiane?

Cheers for the help somtam
i checked up on the website and it looks like they issue visas for $25US, also read on the lonely planet forum site that they offer a 3 day regular service and an express service for $30. Sorted. Though it looks like i will be heading through Vientiane anyway now.
p.s. gday Lukasz, looking forward to the trip hey.

wasnt planning on staying in BKK before heading to Laos. prefer to avoid large cities if possible, though i will be staying a couple of days after visiting Vietnam.

Hey Mate,
Sure am looking forward to the trip :D
can't wait to arrive in Nong Khai, hopefully all the troubles will be sorted in BKK and we'll be able to get the over-nite train without any hassle.
