ORIGINAL POSTER
Anyone who applied recently or just about to apply can kindly provide info on what are the ways of paying visa fee online apart from visa and mastercard? (interested in HCMC specifically but I assume it’s the same everywhere).

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking information on alternative methods to pay visa fees online aside from using Visa and Mastercard, specifically for applications in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. One commenter notes that in Laos, payment must be made in person at the consulate, and expresses uncertainty about alternative online payment options.

In Laos you actually have to rock up to the consulate to pay, for other consulates I'm not aware of any other way to pay other than via a card
