Yes it was straight after visa exemption and 1 extension. We stayed in HCMC for 10 nights.

HCMC you need to book an appointment but 3 of us had no issue obtaining our 60 day visa. Applied Monday morning and collected Wednesday afternoon no queues no issue.

hi, I have booked every apartment for 1 month plus (you usually receive a discount for over 28 days) and never have paid a deposit. With bills just make sure you are happy with price + extra's. Electricity is the biggest + I estimate an extra 2- 2500thb per month if bills are not included but that depends on each person.

I wouldn't book an Airbnb that asks for a deposit, they have cancellation and payment schedules as part of Airbnb policies.

Hi Craig, I've been using Airbnb for the last 2 years travelling around Thailand and Vietnam. Airbnb you don't need to pay a deposit unlike alot of market place units. When looking at Airbnb see if includes electricity, water, wifi and cleaning. Airbnb check how many reviews as some hosts relist if they get bad reviews.

You can also go into most condo buildings and they have onsite agents/office who list available units and some can be short term.
