You must have got the same guy I got before. I repeated his figures in Vietnamese just to make sure I understood correctly. Good thing, too. Some people say, "thirty" and "forty" so that they sound remarkably the same.

Here's a shocker. Another member called The Embassy and got a price of $65 for a Single Entry.

He sounded like I had interrupted him in the middle of a bowl of Phở. When I told him I was married to a Vietnamese Woman he loosened up though. He must have realized I was part of the family now.

UPDATE: The price quoted at the Embassy was for an expedited approval.

Thank you for the update, good info Joe!

[Teacher Mark 53]

Thanks Chuck. I don't know how accurate this information is though. MelrosePlant is going to have his Wife call and confirm.

Hmmm, I called the Embassy in DC and was told $65.

I didn't ask for expedited service but it appears that's what I was quoted.

You would think this basic info would be somewhere on their website but it isn't.

[Anh map 2,098]

they never put the visa cost on the website for some reason.

[Teacher Mark 53]

Yeah, the best thing to do is call. I think the prices I was quoted weren't right. I would love to know why they don't put the prices on their website. For the visa exemption they do have it listed at $20.

[Dai. 7]

It's how they get extra coffee money from you.
