Mick16,

Which online agency did you use and what was the cost?

Reminder: the 'pre-approved visa' letter can only be used at International airports in Vietnam, not land border crossings.

Cheers Mick. Good result. Remember to have the $25 per visa in US cash when you arrive.

Hey guys

Just another follow up question. What is the best method of getting money in Vietnam/Cambodia? Should I bring traveller's cheques? Should I just take money out of ATMs? Bring US$ cash? Don't want to get ripped of in bank fees!!

Thanks

Mick

I usually just bring cash and exchange at banks or gold shops. BUT, many people aren't comfortable carrying cash, so use ATMs. The ATMs in Cambodia give out U$D. Some ATMs in Vietnam have higher limits than others, do an advanced search for posts about that.

Thanks CMBurns!

You seem to have your finger on the pulse, have you heard of a resort called Freedomland on Phu Quoc? Is it as good as the reviews say?

You're welcome Mick, but it's been YEARS since I've been to Phu Quoc and I'm afraid I've never heard of Freedomland. Check Tripadvisor.com or start a new thread here.
Safe travels.

Thanks anyway, the TripAdvisor reviews are enough for me I think :-)
