Back to the Vietnam - a country of mixed varieties, Communism, fantastic coffee, yummy food. Hated by some and loved by others. It's interesting, there is not much of the center/neutral approach to it. Visitors either love it here, it's people, services, sites, ... or hate it. Those who hate it, always say, they feel extremely harassed and people not being friendly to them. I wonder .... Well, I love it and the coffee .... achhh.
VIETNAM VISA ONLINE: "Vietnam E-Visa" link
You need to get a visa before you enter the country, but this time I have discovered a possibility of getting them online. So convenient and cheap too. You pay $20 for a service and then you pay on the arrival for the visas you recquire. In my case 1 month/single entry - $25USD. The way to get it online is to visit - "Vietnam E-Visa" - and follow the instructions. There are several ways to pay, including the visa card. Once it's processed (usually 24 hours) you get by email a copy of letter (.jpg format - like picture), which contains your name and further details. This you print and present to immigration on arrival. All easy. Though, it's just for the arrival by flight to Hanoi and Saigon I think.
