Agreed...only flights are from places like Yangon, Kunming, Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur and Taipei. There are a few more but overall, not many international flights and they tend to be more expensive than flying into Bangkok.

Anonymous participant 151 nope. Only Vietnam.

Nope, you can pay with cash inside.

Most countries eligible for a Vietnamese visa exemption receive 45 days.

I hold several Thai bank accounts but I prefer cash and sometimes use debit or credit cards too.

Appreciate you providing these options for those interested.

However, I don't see the purpose of reinventing the wheel - with QR codes you're still using your own money and thus there's no real advantage of using this method of payment. It's more of a hassle than anything else. Just go to an ATM. They're still not difficult to find even if there are fewer of them than there used to be.

Credit cards make sense because you're able to borrow money that you can repay later...hence the name.

For most everyday things you use cash, just like we've always done for decades.

That's what I use for payment anywhere I am in the world, most of the time. Credit cards are for when I need to pay for big ticket items.

Isn't this more of an issue if your visa is a traditional sticker? Can't see the problem if it's an e-visa. Perhaps you could travel with a printout of the information page of the old passport but like someone else said, if it's possible to get an annotation in your new passport at a local immigration office, that's even better.

He's in Vietnam already.

Depends on what type of visa or extension you're on..some can't be extended and you have to leave the country and come back.

They won't ask you for an interview in Vietnam. At a certain point you are simply waiting. As long as you don't enter Thailand until you receive your visa it's OK
