After yet another 3-hour long wait at Tan Son Nhat yesterday (I don't know who was more upset, me or my screaming baby girl... haha)... nobody was getting through fast... I was amazed / impressed to see many officials turning away any passports with bribe money tucked into the pages.
I want to know if anybody has recent positive experiences at any VN embassies in Southeast Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Laos, Cambodia, etc)
I'm not starting work in VN until next year, so I've been doing the 3-month visa run thing for a bit, exclusively using the Visa on Arrival process at TSN.
On the different embassy websites, I can find out the cost of the visas, but very little about the actual procedure.
This is all that's stated on the Bangkok embassy site,
Tourist Visas: Prior arrangements with Viet Nam's agencies are required and to be paid. As a rule, these agencies have to contact Viet Nam's Immigration Department for tourist visas.
So I need an agency to do this for me? I'm confused. Haha
Any help or insight would be amazing.
