Vietnam Visa Run - an overview in several parts

Dr. Gajaprishthakara

here is an outline of my experience in doing a visa run to Vietnam. Please note, though, that what made this a good option for me - the fact that Tiger flew from Cochin to Singore and then Hanoi - is no longer an option as Tiger ha ceased its Singapore - Cochin route.

I went personally to the Vietnamese Embassy in Delhi (contact details to follow). The process is quick and painless and can take as little as 30 hours if you pay a slightly higher fee or 45 hours for the normal fee. The wonderful Mr Lich is a great introduction to Vietnam with a unique and quirky sense of humour. His assistant has no sense of humour. When you go back to pick up your visa and if you are first, sit in the visitor seat at the desk. Otherwise normal Indian shove rules of queueing apply.
Visa prices differ depending on whether you require single or multiple entry. Note that, unlike India, the visa runs from date of entry NOT date of issue.
