For Tourist Applying in Hanoi.

I just went today to apply for Visa and everything went well. For Tourist visa they need Bank statement, ticket to get out of Thailand and the fee for visa in $.

The embassy is currently in renovation so you need to go to the right side white building and it’s open at 8:30am. The releasing of passport is 4pm -5pm.

When you arrived here please use Grab and don’t take taxi. I was scammed by Vietnamese taxi driver in the airport so I learned my lesson now 🤦🏻‍♂️.

For Internet seems Viettel has a good offer for 4G.

Hope it helps.

Nice, good to know, I had a similar experience in Savannakhet recently, onward ticket and bank statement, just like Hanoi, very easy process. How long is the Queue, in Savannakhet it is crazy since the new online appointment in Vientiane.
