i'm curious if anyone has been to vietnam recently & could provide a little info.

i'm going to vietnam for the holidays and am in dire need of a tourist visa, but there is little exact info available online. and the vietnam embassy in tokyo is not answering their phones or emails.

i already have the application but i have no idea how much it costs to process a single entry visa. i could just send it off with the 8000yen a multi entry visa cost but....i'm cheap.

thanks.

Americans do need a tourist visa.

i'm from the u.s. & i have the visa application & picture. completely ready to send it to the embassy except i don't know how much the single entry visa costs.

the vietnam embassy page has no info beyond the ap and neither the osaka or tokyo offices are anwsering phones when i call.

so, anybody been to vietnam recently & remember what they paid the embassy for their visa?

I think it was about 5-6000 yen for a single entry visa in decemeber/January (I bought a multiple visa as I went to Cambodia on the same trip). But I would suggest just visiting the embassy as it takes all of about 10-15 minutes normally to receive your visa. Unless of course you don't live within shouting distance of Tokyo.

tokyo is essentially a world away from me....

end of story: single entry costs 6000 yen, multiple 8000 yen
