DENIED ENTRY into VIETNAM | AVOID this 🇻🇳

Vietnam is not the place you want VISA issues - after a long flight, the last thing you need os being denied entry into Vietnam by immigration. I can tell you for sure that being stuck in immigration with a baby isn’t fun!
We travelled to Vietnam in the hopes our visa would arrive in time but obviously it didn’t - so how do you enter a country where communication is a huge barrier and officials don’t favour helping tourists?
Find out if we managed to sort our visa issues out or did we have to turn back!

Make sure you check your e-visas before you leave for Vietnam! Let us know if you've faced a similar issue in Vietnam or any other country.

I must say, your experience resonated deeply with me. While it's unfortunate that you had to endure such a stressful situation, I can't help but consider it relatively "lucky" compared to my own nightmarish experience. During my visit to Vietnam, I encountered ridiculously slow and unhelpful officials who took an astonishing six weeks to stamp my passport. I spent 20 hours in giant lines 1-4hours each for smth that is done digitally in most countries. I already started speaking some Vietnamese (after talking to other unfortunate ppl in those giant lines), whereas the official in question still couldn't speak a word of English and lost the copies of the papers I gave him. The delay cost me two flight tickets, and the situation escalated when they began screaming at me for taking photos. It was an experience that left me disheartened and frustrated. Your video sheds light on a problem that many travelers face, and it's no surprise that 95% of tourists never return to Vietnam for similar reasons. Despite the challenges, I admire your courage and positive outlook. Your family's adventurous spirit is truly inspiring, and I wish you all the best in your future travels. Keep exploring and sharing your incredible journey with the world!

@krishnaagarwal2276 Год назад

From my personal experience, the first time when I applied, it got processed in 24 hour and the next time it took 6 days. So it's always better to apply way earlier to be on a safer side. Other than that Vietnam is one of the easiest to get the visa from. Hope you have a great and happy journey next time.

@ArnoldPranks Год назад

There's some crooked officials that work in that Saigon airport, exact same thing happened to me, they didn't want to honor the e Visa, instead he made us pay $150 USD each visa on arrival, he demanded $15 for a "mandatory" passport pic (we were only there for one day hopover believe it or not). Then the official took a picture of my passport on his personal smartphone, didn't provide the mandatory passport photo, even though they charged us, and finally let us through.. 3 hours later. Scam.

True. My mom and I are from Vietnam. My first time back since I left in 1975 as a child. Upon coming back to Hawaii. A man asked for coffee money for her to pass inspection. She didn’t want trouble so gave $20. We barely had enough money to get a taxi back home. No money to eat or drink while waiting at Japan airline to transfer. Got some crooks that need to be investigated. Awful people!

Visas are backloaded rn! There's a large influx of people applying for them so, def try to apply weeks to months in advance. There's a 30 day visa and also a 5 year visa avaliable (:

@user-sq5dc6og6u Год назад

My first trip to Saigon and vietnam. I took the taxi from the airport. Where you make the queue. I knew the price was around 200000 dong. I was watching the meter and just before arrive to my hotel i had a look outside. When i look again the meter the price was 500000 dongs. The taxi scammer shouting at me when i asked him why it was so expensive. I was so tired by my trip that i paid him but it didn’t hapened a second time as i used grab after that. Theses taxi scamers doing this since many years but the vietnamese government do nothing. What a shame! I live 20 years in thailand and it’s never hapened to me there. There is many scammers in vietnam so be aware. Thailand is so much better in every points. Vietnam👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

@sergeitokmakovesq.9153 Год назад

scamming is not limited to taxi drivers in Vietnam. In my observation, it is something of a national sport, affecting both locals and foreigners alike. The reason gov't is not doing anything about it is b/c gov't is busy stealing, too. Just last month, 50+ gov't officials went to prison for bribes for repatriation flights, ripping off their own ppl during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the days the gov't is not busy stealing from their own ppl, they are busy putting 160+ human rights bloggers in prison for 5-6 years on vague bogus charges. Going after taxi drivers is way at the bottom of their priorities, trust me :) And, yes, I agree, Thailand is 10x better overall!

@ArnoldPranks Год назад

There's a beautiful old Indian mosque in the heart of Saigon. (100+ years) that's the only building at an angle, I guess to point to Mecca.

Make sure to have your evisa name match your passport exactly. I made the mistake of abbreviating my middle name and they wouldn't let me through customs. I had to pay $180 for an emergency visa.

@@FieldofVisions I see. You have to ensure you receive the evisa first before ordering your airplane tickets. I ran into a similar dilemma when I had to leave Vietnam for Thailand because my evisa was up. I made sure that I got my evisa first before I ordered my plane ticket back into Vietnam.

This is some info I found online. U.S. citizens can apply online for a single entry E-visa on the Vietnam Immigration website. The E-visa is valid for a maximum of 30 days, single entry. An E-visa is usually processed within three working days after the Vietnam Immigration Department receives the completed application and E-visa fee.

We’re more then likely going to have to go to the embassy to extend too… I saw you said it was over double the price! Was it an easy process?

@FieldofVisions Год назад

Oh nooo. Definitely try to email and keep emailing them. We had one guy on our flight that managed to get his email as he landed. So you never know. Fingers crossed for you. We did double price but it meant that we didn’t have to do the boarder run. Trying to do that with a baby was a no go lol it was simple and straight forward process. We handed in our passports and collected within a few days.
