TLDR : Answer Summary

A member inquired about the process of a Hanoi visa run, particularly for obtaining a tourist visa. Comments included clarifications on what a Hanoi visa run entails, advice to check the official website for requirements, and a personal account detailing recent experience—mentioning that no appointment was necessary, but it was important to ensure sufficient funds in the account and have hotel reservation proof ready. The process took about two working days, but it's recommended to allocate extra time for any unforeseen delays.

Yep, a few weeks ago - assuming this is for a tourist visa, it's no appointment necessary but they do close on national holidays. The website's list of requirements is correct for the most part; however, I had the required 20k baht but because my hotel reservation (which they ask for proof of) was payment on arrival, they factored that in and told me I needed a bit extra in the account, I think it was around $600USD in the end. It was processed in 2 working days for me but can take longer. My advice is give yourself a little longer than you think you might need in Hanoi to get it sorted to be on the safe side.
