12 month business visa without a work permit? by Vegetivita
Hey all, A Vietnamese friend of mine recently told me about a company she found that can get 12 month business visas for people without a bachelor's degree (i.e. me). It's from a company called Vietuytin (website: dichvuvisauytin.com/en/ ...

I recently received my letter of approval for a visa on arrival but it doesn't have my middle name on it and my passport does. Before I contact the company I got the VoA from to redo it (and probably charge more money), is it even necessary? ...
Great point. I'll be making sure it's identical, thank you! Read More

Yep, waiting on them to re-open in the morning. I was just curious if it wouldn't be an issue in the airport. Read More

Vaccinations for Vietnam by Vegetivita
Hey all, I'm going to be leaving for Vietnam sometime between March and June of 2018 and I just started looking into the recommended vaccinations I should get. I had a consultation at a place in the USA called "Passport Health" and ...
To the multiple people in this thread that suggested I get a Hepatitis shot, it requires a 2nd shot at 6 months but by then I will be out of the USA and in Vietnam. Should I try to buy the the 2nd dose and bring it with me to be administered by a ... Read More

Oh yeah you definitely need all those. :dumbom: Every day I am walking in clouds of malarial mosquitos through typhoid floods of cholera in D7, rabid bats diving at my ears, junkies sticking me with their needles, old guys coughing their TB on me ... Read More

Which city in Vietnam?I'll be in the Binh Duong province so it's near enough to HCM. I'll check into the Pasteur Institute, thank you very much! Read More

Shipping a PC to Vietnam by Vegetivita
Hey all, I'm hoping to bring my PC and all peripherals to Vietnam but what's the best shipping method to ensure something so sensitive does not get damaged or stolen in transit? And ideally, it wouldn't cost an exorbitant amount of ...
Upon googling iMacs, they appear to be quite slim. The PC I'm looking to ship weighs about 50 pounds and its dimensions are 24'x9'x26'. Throw in the monitor, mouse, and keyboard and it's a hefty parcel. Would I be better off ... Read More

Hey all, I wanted to talk about the exchange process from USD to VND. Exactly when do I want to change currencies? Do I want to keep USD as long as possible or is it okay to just change it all to VND? And where is the best place to change? I ... Read More

dbrutter, thanks for the reply. Did you keep all $5,000 in one carry-on bag? I have read some people give the advice of carrying $200 or so and then putting the bulk of the money in a padlocked bag because if the officers hear you only have $200, ... Read More
