#2 Posted: 8/7/2006 - 07:47 You cannot get Vietnamese visas on entry at the land borders -- you have to arrange it in advance. You can get it on-arrival at Hanoi airport though. personally I'd just get it in advance in Vientiane. ------------------------------ Siem Reap and Angkor Wat on your iPhone |

#3 Posted: 8/7/2006 - 08:33 Posted from within Vietnam (why do we highlight this?).You can only get visa-on-arrival in Hanoi airport if you have a stamped authorization doc from Vietnamese immigration. Don't expect just to show up and get a visa on arrival at the airport. Scandinavians and most asians don't need visa for up to 15 days. See visa section on www.vietnamtourism.com. |

#4 Posted: 11/10/2006 - 15:48 Be warned that Vietnames visa in Laos are quite expensive. In Vientiane we payed $50 at the embassy and had to wait 3 days. I subsequently saw them at travel agencies advertised for $45/$55/$65 for 3/2/1 day turnarounds. THey may be cheaper elsewhere in Laos I'm not sure. |

#5 Posted: 10/1/2009 - 00:33 Chunk79 was it difficult getting the Vietnam Visa in Vientiane? Was language or any other difficulties? The price itself isn't a problem as it is still cheaper than getting the visa here in the UK and as I am going in 22 weeks I don't feel comfortable posting my passport. Are the visa's from travel agents mentioned legit? I thought you would have to get the visa from the embassy. |

#8 Posted: 15/2/2010 - 10:33 Hi, I got my Vietnam visa in Vientiane from the Vietnamese consulate about a month ago. It was quite expensive, $80 for a multi entry visa but it was ready the next day and was really easy to get. |
