Today VTV1 TV news said there are many owners of tourism businesses and leaders of VN Tourism Association requested the Vietnam Government to grant Visa like the years 2018-2019 before the Codid-19 period. It is likely that the Vietnam Government will extend visa times starting from September for tourists from Europe and the US.

[@SkyeSamuels]

This is great news! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@kevod09]

Cool, hope so 🤞🙏😁

[@WalterHawes]

I hope so too ive been planning towards the end of this year I want to solo bike top north to bottom south in Vietnam and I think 30 days visa is too short and border hopping seems stressful any advice?

[@hungcuongnguyen293]

It would be good for everybody

[@hfc6535]

Veitnam looks a stunning country. I'd need to get someone to do the paperwork . All worth it tho . Thanks Skye

[@SkyeSamuels]

Lynn Visa is your woman! Thank you 😊

I was curious, why did you end up going to Vietnam over the Philippines? Such a huge demand for what we do in the Philippines. I just posted my first video here, and it has been very well received! Such welcoming, supportive locals here! That being said, I do love Vietnam also. Can't really go wrong there!

[@SkyeSamuels]

Hey! Good question. I can’t enter the Philippines yet as I’m unvaxxed but also I don’t want to plan my travels based on subs/views. I will deffo visit one day as I’ve been before and loved it, just in the future 😁 Glad to hear your videos are doing well!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

@@SkyeSamuels ooo makes sense!

[@timr387]

@@SkyeSamuels Philippines just opened up to the unvaxxed within the past month, just have to show a negative PCR test I believe. Not too much of a hassle! I left unvaxxed back in September and re-entered unvaxxed. You also have to have a few documents for “health reasons” but otherwise it’s pretty hassle free. Hope to see you guys in the Philippines sometime, Cagayan de Oro City and the surrounding area is massively underrated!

[@SkyeSamuels]

@@timr387 YESSSSSS, SO HAPPY! Will be heading there next year for sure :)

[@skum73]

Thanks for this. I think I will fly out and fly back the next day. I don't want to do a 14 hour journey.

[@Thailand-mt9op]

I am going to do the same. Where do you recommend to fly too

[@cfrancuz23]

How many times can you renew the 30 days visa?

[@TravelingwithValeman77]

Hey there. Thanks for the info. I will be in DaNang in a few months and will also need to do a Visa run as i will be staying longer than 30 days!

[@SkyeSamuels]

Thanks for watching! 😀 hopefully they change the rules soon

[@TravelingwithValeman77]

@@SkyeSamuels fingers crossed. Hope the 3 month option is avail by December! Safe travels!!

[@dinhgiatien6893]

As a Local, I feel sorry for this inconvenience! I hope that the government will bring back the 3-month visa in the near future!

[@SkyeSamuels]

I hope so too!🙏🏻

[@leevikiviranta9071]

i hope too. or at least chance to extend visa in country, like it was before covid

[@hungcuongnguyen293]

@@leevikiviranta9071 The Vietnamese government has its own reasons and rights to adopt its visa policy . The foreigners cannot tell our authorities what to do to satisfy their self- interests

[@Nielson941]

I have booked a 2 month trip, before applying for the visa, unknowingly that there is only 30 day visa at now oct. 2022. I just got my e-visa (30 days), and don’t know what to do, may be get a visa extension once i in VN .or have to do a visa run- get out of the country and re enter…HM

[@TheEltrino]

Hi, Did you buy the Laos visa at Lao Bao landborder or did you also have an evisa for Laos?

[@SkyeSamuels]

Lynn visa did it all for us (the paperwork) and we just paid at the border so I don’t think it was an evisa 😀

[@ZionLawSchool]

@@SkyeSamuels hi, what's your visa agent contact info? I need to get a new visa now. Does loas require covid vaccine to enter? Thanks!

[@markfranklin8452]

would it be cheaper to fly from dang Nang to Lao for a day trip

[@SkyeSamuels]

Maybe! When I looked to Thailand it was slightly more expensive but I didn’t want to risk it, I’d rather somebody else handle it all for me 😁

[@Joey-ct8bm]

Do a day in Khe Sanh and then travel to Phong Nha for the Visa run.

[@j.o.m.1074]

Hi, thank you first of all for the video and explaining the process a bit better! I'm planning to travel to Vietnam later this month, first for 3 weeks, then leaving to Laos for a week and coming back for another 8 days. From my understanding I would be able to follow the same steps you did, entering the country first on the 30 days e visa and then using the 15 days of visa exemption when coming back, correct? I would be very glad for a short reply, keep up the great work!

[@SkyeSamuels]

Correct! 😀

[@dextermorgan4093]

Can you fly to a place like Bangkok to do the visa run?

[@rebeccahallam7983]

Thank you for this video , did you have the 30 day visa first and then extended it? How do I apply for the 30day visa coming from laos can I do it at the boarder?

[@SkyeSamuels]

Exactly! And our visa agent Lynn did it for us, she pre did the forms and then we paid at the loas border 😀

[@aaroninky]

good advice, thanks ... but wow, that is a lotttt of effort every 30 days!

Hey Skye, Great video - Did customs not ask you for proof of outward travel on arrival to Vietnam? Thanks

[@SkyeSamuels]

Yes you can but you’d have to handle everything yourself so I just thought it was easier to do it with an agent to make sure it all works out 😀

[@thumtlnguyen3626]

If you choose to fly I don't think you can make it back to Vietnam in a day even everything goes to plan.

Do u still need to get covid insurance or is it not mandatory anymore

right, it is 4,5 dollar. and that "stamp fee" is not official....it's illegal corruption money for officers...

@@leevikiviranta9071 How do you know that this stamp fee is not official and illegal . When the immigration officers put a stamp on a document that means it`s official and legal and depending on the importance of the document , the applicant has to pay some administration fees .
