TLDR : Answer Summary
The fees for obtaining a Non-Immigrant B visa for teaching in Vietnam vary depending on the source. The official website suggests a fee of $400, while the HCMC embassy states it is $80, and the Vientiane embassy charges 2000B. Multiple comments confirm that the correct fee for a single-entry visa is indeed $80.

There are different types of VISA on one page, but keep it simple, just read the part of the visa you need

You can only get the Single Entry Non Immigrant B visa and that is 80 USD in crispy new bills

correctly replied:

I don't know how did you see their website, but it says 80 USD.

"The visa fee is 80 USD for single-entry with three-month validity..."

THE VISA FEE IS 80 USD ....you will only be able to obtain a three month validity. Extensions made in Thai Immigration office.

Be sure the USD 80 IS IN CRISP LIKE NEW CURRENCY...NO MARKS OR CREASES.

Get 4 - US $20 = $80.
