Things to know

Hide

Unlike other countries such as Cambodia and Thailand where visas can be obtained upon landing at border gates, Vietnam requires travelers to apply for a pre-approved visa letter through a travel/visa agency in order to get the visa stamp upon arrival.

The 15 day free visa exemption has been extended to June 2025 for the passport holders from United Kingdom, France, - Spain, Italy and Germany. Travellers from these countries can travel to Vietnam without a visa for 15 days, longer term visas can be obtained through visa on arrival or at the local embassy.

As of November 2014, visitors who fly directly to Phu Quoc airport and stay on the island are exempt from the entry visa requirement for up to 30 days.

, I’m from USA, without a visa in hand I couldn’t fly from BKK, flew to Cambodia instead.

Visa required before going to Vietnam, can do online. Phenomenal Penh Cambodia has visa on arrival, they prefer US Dollars, cost may vary based on country, check online.

Koh Kong is worth spending a night or two, 400baht each way from the border, Cambodia frowns on baht, bring $USD. If trying an in-out you might have to quench the thirst of the personnel. On your return, there are some great beaches below Trat.

please describe the virtual mailbox. I just tried to change my address for SS and using a PO Box was rejected. I’m tempted to use the physical address of the PO but I’m hesitate at this point. My bank had no issues with the PO Box address.
