OMG I didn’t know we had to apply for an e-visa to go to Vietnam. I thought it would be the same as Bali where you just get a visa on arrival, but it turns out you need the visa before boarding the flight.My flight from Sydney is on Friday 13/03 and I only applied yesterday for four separate visas. I got a bit nervous thinking what if they don’t approve them before the 13th.PS: Of course I googled this when I first started planning the trip, but somehow my brain interpreted it as visa on arrival, so I believed that was the case.Also PS: For people who commented useless judging comments on this post — please bite your tongue and mind your own business if you don’t have anything helpful to say. The world is getting tired of people who just sit and judge.And thank you to the people who gave useful suggestions. I contacted an agency and everything is sorted out now.

    Not one spelling mistake! . It cost my huband $250 upon arrival at HCMC for that, and he’s not convinced that it was his mistake….

    Our visas took over 3 weeks to process and even though sent in the morning of, they still said processing on the website and we had to pay $500 per emergency visa at the airport. You ca get urgent ones cheaper like 24 hours or 2 hours but don’t leave it till you’re getting in the plane

    If someone is travelling to a foreign country and cannot perform a simply Google search on any visa requirements than just maybe overseas travel is not for you.

    Well who doesn’t book a flight to a foreign country and go to the airport without doing at least a quick google search on entry requirements?
