Hello, everyone. I’ve been thoroughly researching this whole situation, and I still don’t know what’s the best option for me or where I should go to get everything taken care of.
My 60 days will be up in two weeks.
I’m traveling with my dog, and I know I’ll need to go to the vet and get a health certificate to leave the country again, which is already a headache.
I’m worried about not receiving her health certificate on time, and I obviously don’t want to get kicked out of the country. I was given incorrect information, and I wasn’t aware of the timeline.
These are my questions:
1. What happens if her health certificate arrives three weeks late and I’m here for more than 60 days? Will I get kicked out?
2. I have money in the bank, but I don’t want to pay any unnecessary money for this visa process. I’m considering going to Vietnam to apply for the visa and come back. Is this a good place to apply for the visa?
3. If Vietnam is a good place to apply for the visa, what kind of visa should I apply for?
4. How many times will I have to do these visa runs a year?
5. What documents should I bring to apply for my visa? Will I only need a printout of my bank statements, my passport, a printed photo of myself?
TLDR : Answer Summary
