Anyone else been recently, I'll be flying in, but am curious about visas. Mailing it in is always such a hassle, but I've been seeing a fair bit about "Visa on Arrival" sites. Can anyone vouche for these?

Unless things have changed since last year you need a visa beforehand that costs around $50-$75. If you go to Cambodia first the consulate there offers the cheapest Vietnamese visa in the world at around $25. This question should be easily answered by Google.

edit: assuming you're American

I've been googling all day. There are so many of these Visa on Arrival companies that say for 20 bucks you can fill out the application, then they send you the approval letter and you take it with you can get stamped at the major airports.

I've also been trying to ring the consulate here in Australia, but the number is always busy. I sent them and email, and went to a travel agent, but since I have a US passport people are clueless, I just don't want to have to pay the fee to fedex it to Washington DC.

30 days initially.

And yes I know I can apply here, but they don't list prices, and are terribly hard to get a hold of. Oh well I guess will wait for an email response and/or try again on Monday.

I don't see why you would be charged differently than an Australian so if you can figure out from the travel agents how much you need to send in that is more than likely an adequate amount.

Yeah but they said they didn't know, they were a bit clueless about the whole thing.

Everything I know and have read indicates that except for a few exceptions, visa prices for Vietnam are the same across the board. U.S and Australians are not part of these exceptions so you pay the same. Example from wikitravel:

Most visitors to Vietnam, except citizens of Nordic (except Iceland) or ASEAN countries (except Cambodia, East Timor and Myanmar), Russia, South Korea and Japan, require a visa in advance. A single-entry tourist visa valid for 30 days costs US$65(although exact fees vary depending on issuing country) and takes around 4-7 days to process; express visas take 2-3 days at twice the price. If purchasing your visa from the Vietnamese embassy in London, a 30-day single entry visa will cost you £38, plus £8 postage if you need it posted back to you (oddly, this information is not available on the embassy's own website). Visas are now generally valid for all entry and exit points.

edit: actually probably best to find exact rates considering you need to know the return postage fee. Keep looking and calling, I'll let you know if something pops into my head.

Were Adam and Eve married?? Did God make them husband and wife??

Or did God make them male and fe-male?? Adam and eve has nothing at all to do with
Gay marriage.
Plus this is a human right issue and NOT a religious issue!
