How much is a visa on arrival in Vietnam?

Twenty-five bucks, single entry. Fifty, if you’re going in and out a bunch. Dollars, cash. Or Vietnamese dong, I think. Last time I went, oh man, it was such a hassle with the ATM at the airport. Ended up changing money at this sketchy booth. Shoulda just brought cash, lesson learned. Total pain.

• $25 – single entry (in and out, one time)
• $50 – multiple entry (back and forth as much as you want within the visa timeframe)
• Cash only (dollars or dong). Seriously, bring cash.

I got mine through an agency thingy online before. Think it was a little cheaper. But with the service fee, probably about the same as visa on arrival. Actually, I think I paid more, lol. Totally forgot about it until just now. Next time, airport for sure. So much easier. My visa was good for three months. Three whole months! Plenty of time to see everything. Well, almost everything. Vietnam is huge. Did Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An… Sapa was amazing. The rice terraces… mind-blowing. You should totally go.

When should I apply for my Vietnam visa?

Smash that visa button like a hot potato, May 2024. Three months out, tops. Like picking a ripe avocado, not too early, not too late. My grandma always said, procrastination is key… except with visas. Dang government paperwork.

• May 2024 is your sweet spot. Like finding twenty bucks in your old jeans.
• Three months ahead, like planning your birthday party, but way less fun.
• Any earlier and it’s like buying milk a month before you need it. Spoilage city.
• My uncle Morty applied six months early once. Let’s just say he ended up collecting stamps instead. Lots of stamps. Post office loved him.

Now, about those avocados… best guac recipe ever uses lime, cilantro, a whisper of cumin… and a dash of secret ingredient (it’s love, obviously). And don’t even get me started on my grandma’s stamp collection…

What is the cheapest way to get a visa for Vietnam?

Ugh, Vietnam visa. Let me tell you, 2023 was a nightmare trying to get one. I needed it fast for a trip in October, a much-needed break after that brutal project at work. My flight was booked, non-refundable, and I was sweating bullets.

E-visa. That’s what everyone kept saying, the cheapest way. So I went for it. Thirty bucks, something like that. Piece of cake, right? Wrong. The website, honestly, looked sketchy. All those pop-ups! I’m pretty tech-savvy, but it gave me the creeps.

The application was a pain. So many fields! Passport details, travel dates. I triple-checked everything. I’m usually meticulous, but still, my heart hammered the whole time.

The worst? Waiting. It felt like forever. Days bled into one another. My anxiety was through the roof. I was refreshing that page constantly. Each notification I’d get was either some junk mail or just some website update, and it all ended up just wasting my precious time. Eventually, I got it. A sigh of relief, massive. Pure, unadulterated relief.

Next time? Maybe I’ll just pay extra for a travel agent. This whole e-visa thing? Not worth the stress. Seriously. Even if it’s technically cheaper. The peace of mind would’ve been priceless.

Key takeaways:

• E-visa: Cheap, yes. Easy? No way.
• Website: Suspect, lots of pop ups, overall a bad experience.
• Stress levels: Off the charts. Not worth the savings.

My trip was amazing, despite the pre-travel visa fiasco. The beaches of Phu Quoc, stunning. The food? To die for. But, man, that visa process…

Can I arrive in Vietnam without a visa?

Nope. Vietnam’s not exactly a “walk-in” destination, you know? Think of it like a really exclusive club – you need a proper invitation (visa).

An e-visa is your ticket. It’s like getting a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s factory, but instead of chocolate, you get pho and stunning scenery. Apply online; it’s surprisingly painless.

Ninety days? That’s a decent chunk of time. Enough to sample every type of coffee, learn a few hilariously butchered Vietnamese phrases, and maybe even accidentally become a temporary expert in rice paddy cultivation.

Multiple entries? Yes! Like a VIP pass to a neverending vacation, perfect for those impulsive adventures.

Seriously though, applying for that e-visa is a breeze compared to say, scaling Fansipan mountain. (Don’t attempt that without proper gear.)

• E-visa: Required for most nationalities.
• Online application: Simple and straightforward process. (Trust me, I’ve done it more than once!)
• Validity: 90 days, multiple entries. A solid timeframe.
• Purpose: Tourism or business. (Though who’s to say you can’t combine the two?)
