This was just our experience, on the 19th. I would say, YMMV. As with everything here, who knows how it would have been handled by a different immigration officer. This was our 1st entry in the covid era, and quite a bit different from entering Vietnam, a month earlier

Well, I didn't have my insurance document printed out, and we were taken aside because of that. Had it in pdf on phone & laptop. Took them a bit, but they printed a copy. Then he escorted us back to the immigration desk. That's when the issue of no reservation past the test & go came up. But, after I said we didn't know if we'd be quarantined, and were going to stay at the same hotel, it was no problem. (YMMV)

@Ruth ******

He let us in.

We entered 12 days ago. Just had the 1 night T&G reservation. Immigration wasn't happy with that. I said we have no future reservations because we didn't know if we'd be kept in quarantine. I said if we're released, we'll stay at same hotel until we find condo.

To expand, the IOM Vietnam helped my fiance with the visa application process - interview, any forms she needed to fill, and getting a flight to the US, navigating through immigration in the US.

It's been over 15 yrs ago, but the IOM was helpful.

Our experience with said 'bs feeder company' over the last 6+ years living and bouncing around S.E.Asia has been the same - very good. And saved us money too.

benadryl spray or lotion?
