5 Year Vietnam Visa Exemption

[_jjcouple 7]

I just realized my 5 year visa is about to expire. I called the Vietnam Embassy in Vietnam almost everyday for the past two weeks and never get a real life person to answer, and their voicemail is completely full.

 

My question is: How much is the application fee if I am requesting it stateside and sending my forms to Washington DC? 

The one time I did get someone to pickup the lady was very cold and not helpful. She told me she couldn't help me. Im stuck. Does anyone have any information? I have emailed them too (it's really weird they have a gmail.com address) and also have not received any reply. It's been quite the stressful experience dealing with the Vietnam Embassy in DC. I'm glad they don't handle any K1/CR paperwork, it would never get done!

Thanks HT. Im completing the form and sending it in myself. http://mienthithucvk.mofa.gov.vn this is the official government website. 

They said to call and ask how much the fee was. I have heard 70$, I have heard 10$ and now I've heard 50$. 

It's a simple question with a more than simple answer, the people at the embassy just won't pick up the phone!!

My documents are all ready to be shipped out to Washington DC, I Just need to write the check for the correct amount!

$70 first time and $60 2nd time - mind you this was 2014 so unsure if they change their rates.

 

email them and ask 1 question and only one question.  I find if you ask many Questions only 1 is ever answered.

Hi All,  So me and my wife are still in the AOS stage, but would like to go back to Vietnam later this year.  I assume that mean I qualify for this as the spouse of a national.  Is is recommended I go through the SF consulate or pay extra through a visa service?  I'm in no immediate rush either way as we still need to wait for her green card.  Thanks!

Go through the consulate you will pay way more otherwise.

Turn around is very quick. I dropped off at the consulate and it was back within a week. Great service though email/phone inquiries is super difficult.
