My advice for getting Vietnam visa in Singapore

[Ryan4]

Hi,

I just wanted to let people know that the Vietnam visa on arrival worked out fine for my companion and I when we arrived in Saigon by air a couple weeks ago .After seeking the same type of information about Vietnam visas a friend told me about an online site phobo.net that he and his girlfriend used in December 2009. I used this online service in July 2010 for pre-approval of a multiple entry visa. It would have cost me more money in lost work time, a night's hotel and train tickets than to pay the $25 for this online service. Note that it is much cheaper if you simply want a single entry visa.

My approval letter came back within two days, I took it and two passport sized photos, paid $50 cash USD and received my multiple entry visa. (I needed multiple entry so that I could leave for Cambodia and return again into Vietnam).

M you let me down, was expecting a "**** off, spammer" and was going to add "and take your **** bags with you".

Hmmm, did BoD tell us exactly what his new job is?

As part of the board's new, warm and welcoming image M has mellowed; the line is now:

welcome, you spamming troll.

now **** off.

So much friendlier, don't you think?

BTW, Ryan4, your recommended website is c**p.

[Kooky]

For M, yes.

hmmmmmm, I might be a sucker here, but is this out of line with the welcoming thing. ie there is a % chance that this guy was checking out the travel thing and had a recommendation, and was just having a crack at posting and still getting the jist, language differences/style and all that.

Now that you mention it, no.
The website's still c**p.

[Morrolan]

For M, yes.

I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin'. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.

I went to the Vietnam embassy for my visa, cost SGD70. Have heard some horror stories about the online ones, and it costs USD45, so about SGD63. If there's more than one of you, then you may as well go to the embassy in Singapore.

Cambodia seemed to work previously, but it does have a few more recent horror stories and there is a on arrival visa which costs the same: just take two photos (but if you don't they shrug, take an extra USD5 and you're sorted).

At least ryan is consistent. He used the same nick on SE as well. (past tense)

Sucker. Two mentions of the Visa place. One in a new thread one in an older one. 2 quick hits with links to the same place.
