I'm new to this post, so please forgive me if this is an idiotic question. My husband and I are travelling to Hanoi early next year with the goal of eventually finding work and converting to a business visa. However, initially we want to enter on a tourist visa. We will be travelling from Melbourne, Australia. I will travel on a British passport and he will use his US passport. There is no Vietnamese consulate or embassy in Melbourne, so I am considering mailing my passport to the consulate in Sydney. However, I'm worried because this passport has my Aussie work visa in it. Please can anyone tell me if the on-line Vietnamese visa application sites are legitimate. I found a couple (moderated: no ads)
Are these bogus or for real? They claim that they will issue you a document that will enable you to get your passport stamped on entry. Sounds suspiscious. Does anyone have experience of this or any comments that would assist me in deciding whether to risk mailing my passport or arriving in Hanoi with a piece of paper as visa application? Thanks.
