Just got my visa... they got the app on 12/18 and it got here on 1/7... the visa is only good until Nov of 2013 as my passport expires in may 14.. the visas expire 6 months before the passport and are good for 90 days at a time... so my 5 year visa is actually a 34 month visa.. will have to renew it when i get my passport renewed...

Nice..visa exemption is the way to go if you can qualified to get one..one less thing to worrry about especially for last min flights..save money too when you decide to travel when in VN. Even better then multiple visas..

FYI..They also started to lessen the restrictions (ie..no longet need to fill out the white immigration form when you get to VN). I used to loose it or Hai Quan intentionally "hold on" to it, then give me hell (cafe money scheme) when I departed VN.

Linda, go here and download the form http://xnc.congan.com.vn/ Then he will need to have the police where he is registered at to sign the form, then take it to the immigration office, and pay $10 it usually takes about 7 to 10 days to get everything done and your passport stamped. I just got mine extended for the 3rd time. hope this helps
