Question:
Hello, Thanks for the advise.
Planning to fly from U.S., visit Manila, and then fly into Hanoi from Manila. Staying for 6 days then fly to Saigon for a stay on the southern Islands then on to Cambodia. What is the easiest way to make arrival into Hanoi simple. Can I get a visa for 14 days at the Hanoi arrival? Thank you so much. Aloha, Ron
Answer:
Dear Ron
If you are flying from Manila to Vietnam, you can either obtain your Vietnamese visa through Vietnamese Embassy in Manila below or apply for a Vietnam visa on arrival:
Address: 670 Pablo Ocampo St. (formerly Vito Cruz), Malate, Manila, the Philippines
Tel: + (632) 5216843
Fax: + (632) 5260472
The entire process at Vietnamese Embassy in Manila takes around 15 minutes. 5 minutes to fill out a form, and another 10 minutes for them to process the visa request (for a 1 week stay). It cost P2,600 (about $55 USD).
Hope that helps!
