Question for anyone who has got a tourist visa in HCMC before... I see it costs $40, I'm wondering do I pay that when I apply on day one, or when I pickup on day two?

TLDR : Answer Summary
In Ho Chi Minh City, you typically pay the visa fee of $40 when you submit your application on the first day, not when you pick it up the next day. It is advised to pay in US dollars and ensure that the bills are in excellent condition as the fee is non-refundable if the application is denied.

Got an education visa there a few days ago and all visa fees are paid on the first day between 8:30-13:00 or something. The next day of pickup starts at 13:30 and it's a minute process

Visa fee is non refundable if application gets denied

Make sure you pay with US$ and all bills require to be in excellent state

Unless things changed you pay when you turn in your application in the morning.
