I've gotten the VOA (visa on arrival) visa at the airport in PP, this year.

If I go overland, by taking a bus to PP from Saigon, can I get a VOA at the border?

Thanks.

use mekong express. the bus aide will walk u thru the process. u arrive at vietnam immigration center. get off the bus and grab your suitcase. walk thru the building, getting stamped out and clearing customs, and get back on the bus. go about 100 meters, get off the bus and grab your suitcase. fill out a visa application form for a tourist. enter the building pay your 20 dollars and walk out the other side of the building. the bus will be waiting for u. another 3 hours or so depending on traffic and u will be in PP

If you are going to be staying for a while you should get a Business Visa and then you can re-new within the country. If you only get a Tourist Visa, you will need to leave the country to renew it.
