Thanks for the tips!

Thank you very much for your time and posting. These are some great tips. I'll be 'in town' in October to see if I want to retire in VN.

[@zakariaelmrabet]

Hello I found your videos very informative and very objective. I usually don't comment on videos, but as I am going to visit da nong in August 2024, I couldn't find better information than the one you gave. You should, from my humble point of view, talk about the beauty of Vietnam and the kindness of Vietnamese people. Zakaria, from Montreal, Canada. God bless you Zakaria

Please advise ^^ Thanks in advance

Immersive translate is a good app for tourists as they travel. Especially for translation services and for learning them

If you would be so kind

[@pete79602]

Thank you for this informative video! Flying ro Vietnam next month and these tipps are super helpful. Do you have any advice on what to plan during Tet Festival? Should we already preplan a hotel or do you think there will be enough available? Staying in Hanoi and Halong Bay at the time of Tet

[@MyVietnamDiary]

I am glad you found this helpful. 🤗 During Tet time: - If you are here before the New Year's Eve: You can visit the flower and local markets, and be ready for street photography opportunities as there will be lots of local activities going on and it will be colorful at the market. - New Year's Eve: watch fireworks - During the first days of Tet (Lunar New Year): it's a wonderful occasion to experience the most important festival of Vietnam. The only downsides are not many local businesses will be open during Tet (or at least on the first day of Tet), so I think for the best experience, it would be best to have a local vietnamese guide for one day or two (so the person can arrange everything for you and even show your the culture better ^_^). The second downsides are availability and prices-> Yes, You should definitely book a hotel room in advance for a better price and secure your place as people will be travelling a lot around that time too. - Staying in Hanoi or HalongBay: It depends on your priorities on budget. Being on a cruise is nice. I would spend 3 days and 2 nights max for a cruise in Halong Bay/ Lan Ha Bay ^^

Thank you! 😊

I am travelling to Vietnam this month from Adelaide. I was wondering what's the best way to buy cash in VND in Australia?

[@IndikaPiyawansha]

What is the correct link to apply e visa

[@NafiulHasanbd]

It was so informative. Thank you so much. As you have mentioned that whatever port i select for visa we must need to entry with the same port but I was wandering that i have selected Hanoi for entry and exit but what if i exit from Danang airport? Will there be any issue? Thanks

[@MyVietnamDiary]

Thank you. I am glad that you have found it useful. Yes, you can exit from Danang or Ho Chi Minh airport while your entry is Hanoi. It matters the most is the entry port should match with the one on your application. Have a good trip.

[@tuxedomask4771]

Thank you for your video it was very helpful! I am going to Vietnam soon and I will be bringing one large suitcase and one small carry on suitcase. A lot of people usually go backpacking and take minimal luggage. I am a bit worried about my suitcase as I am going from South to North and places in between. Should I also bring a backpack instead of a luggage or is it possible to travel Vietnam with two suitcases specially with transportation is that a good idea?

[@MyVietnamDiary]

I am glad that you found it useful 💚 I usually bring one large suitcase and one back bag for my camera gear when traveling around the country. On my motorcycle trip, I even have one extra small suitcase with me. If you don’t mind packing and carrying suitcases around, then it’s not a problem.

[@Pepperpotts31]

Do you have the legit website for E-visa ? Coz there's a lot of site and we don't know which one is real?

[@krubasrimanimaran9708]

Hi, thank you alot sharing these wonderful info. Just want to cofirm, is it compulsry tk get visa if I travlng frm Malaysia.

[@MyVietnamDiary]

Hello, are you holding Malaysian citizen?

[@markmercury4401]

Great advice, thx. Regarding the e- Visa , can i fly into Saigon and leave from da nang? Or IT has to BE the Same Airport to Enter and Exit? Thx

[@MyVietnamDiary]

Glad that you found it useful. Entry point is important. If your entry point is Saigon, you MUST fly there. Later on you can leave from Danang or Hanoi, or other international gates here from the government’s list. Wish you a good trip to Vietnam

Can I get a visa on arrival if I’m a US citizen or do an evisa before?

You will need an evisa before.

[@hanhbui9329]

Hi. I have my child travel with me. I know in the form, there's a section for children under 14 years old. After I put in my kid's name/gender/date of birth, 2 photos...do I need another separate form for my child? Or the information included in the form for myself is sufficient. When I pay, I should pay $50, instead of $25? Thank you.

Can visas be applied months in advance I feel like I should do visa before buying tickets. Like how far advance can I get visa

[@g7u7r7a7]

Yes but look for a place you are likely to book with because you need to put down an address on the visa form

I want to go to Vietnam in August, but after watching your video, I think Vietnam is dangerous. By the way, a very good informative video

[@MyVietnamDiary]

Thank you. It’s safe here. I have been traveling all around the country, event to the most remote regions, no problems at all. In stead, I have had great memories and meaningful adventures.

[@chocofalang]

Thanx👍🏼

[@mikebaker7522]

I have been to VN a few times. Friendly people and lovely country. Do not worry

[@218Mike]

, You are seriously mistaken. Vietnam is exceptionally safe. I have traveled throughout that country for about five months during the past two years, often totally alone and never felt the least bit threatened.

[@218Mike]

Also, you will be cheating yourself out of a wonderful experience if you permit your misplaced sense of fear to keep you from going to this beautiful country full of kind, wonderful people.

[@lutomson3496]

my E visa has no point of entry on it not even a question on the form wondering where she is getting this from all of our group has not point of entry at all so dont believe everything you see here

[@MyVietnamDiary]

With all due respect, please read til the end: On the recent Evisa, there’s no entry point on the visa - but there’s an entry point on the online application form. Did you and your group fill in the application yourself or have someone doing it for you guys? And which country are you from? And when did you visit Vietnam? To answer your question: Where do I guess this information regarding the entry point from? -> From my own experience: In 2023, My boyfriend had to apply for another evisa before. He had a valid evisa to enter Vietnam through danang airport but decided to enter Vietnam through a different point. ->I called the immigration officer, they told us to make a new evisa as it’s compulsory. -> Read my quick Google search with Vietnam Embassy in Norway here about the entry point mistake I have mentioned vietnamembassy-norway.org/visa-for-vietnam/e-visa/common-mistakes-in-application/ AND with all due respect, you and your friends might just be lucky before the immigration officer feel bad to ask you to leave the country and come back - or maybe something else… I don’t really know what happened in your case specifically. You might find this information not useful for you, but this will help to save others time and hassles at their entry gate to Vietnam and have a better trip in my home country. Best, Trinh

[@cang9421]

The application from on this page does have a question on the point of entry so her information is valid. - evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/web/guest/khai-thi-thuc-dien-tu/cap-thi-thuc-dien-tu😁
