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!
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!
@@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!

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!
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.
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?
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
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?
Probs best going in the taxi/minivan tbh Skye. I’m not sure if you’ve been on sleeper buses before bloody awful I did one in Laos and I promised myself I’ll never go on another one 🤣 one of the worst travel experiences ever.
@@SkyeSamuels it was wild I certainly didn’t sleep we had a family of about 10 next to us just constantly staring at me we had about 2 burst wheels and the driver was blaring rave music all night I guess to keep him awake 🙈. At least your with Charlie and not on your own hopefully you get a new bus with proper reclining seats we had a flat bed on the top deck at the back bloody awful. Good luck remember to capture it all your making memories and it’s so good to watch back. (We can laugh now about our experience my face is hilarious 😆)
@@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 . It`s normal everywhere . I have to remind you that you are NOT the person who makes rules in Vietnam . BTW which country are you from dude

@@timr387 YESSSSSS, SO HAPPY! Will be heading there next year for sure :)
Veitnam looks a stunning country. I'd need to get someone to do the paperwork . All worth it tho . Thanks Skye
Lynn Visa is your woman! Thank you 😊
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!
I hope so too!🙏🏻
i hope too. or at least chance to extend visa in country, like it was before covid

It would be good for everybody
Hey Skye,
Great video - Did customs not ask you for proof of outward travel on arrival to Vietnam?
Thanks
Hi - we are doing this visa run in a couple of days from hue. Did you get a visa on arrival in Laos. We have British passports

Hi,
Did you buy the Laos visa at Lao Bao landborder or did you also have an evisa for Laos?
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 😀
@@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!
Wow. Such an adventure.
Crazy long day ☺️
How many times can you renew the 30 days visa?
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!
Thanks for watching! 😀 hopefully they change the rules soon
@@SkyeSamuels fingers crossed. Hope the 3 month option is avail by December! Safe travels!!
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.
I am going to do the same. Where do you recommend to fly too
30,000 baht !! Not a problem, well within one's budget lol 🤣😂🤣🤩
Imagine 🤣🤣

Exactly! And our visa agent Lynn did it for us, she pre did the forms and then we paid at the loas border 😀
Sky Samuel's does laos require covid vaccine to enter? What's your visa agent contact info? I also need to get a new visa soon. Tnx!
No vaccine required 🙌🏻 her Facebook page: facebook.com/visatoliveinvietnam
Thanks for sharing 😊 love your videos ❤️❤️ Vietnam is beautiful country 😍
Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
Do a day in Khe Sanh and then travel to Phong Nha for the Visa run.
would it be cheaper to fly from dang Nang to Lao for a day trip
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 😁
Are there any Covid Vaccination requirements needed for crossing the borders there now?
Nothing at all!! 😀
@@SkyeSamuels good
Hi Skye, please can you provide the link to the contact information for Lynn Visa, I can’t see it in the “description “. Thank you.
Sorry! Yeah it’s: facebook.com/visatoliveinvietnam
@@SkyeSamuels Thank you.
good advice, thanks ... but wow, that is a lotttt of effort every 30 days!
Can you fly to a place like Bangkok to do the visa run?
Do u still need to get covid insurance or is it not mandatory anymore
We were never asked for it so I guess not 😀
Thanks for the reply heading to da nang September seen some web sites saying u need it have you ever been asked for it anywhere and do you have it
@@kevinhughes6478 No longer need Covid insurance or medical declaration to come to VN .
How much was total cost of visarun?
Probs best going in the taxi/minivan tbh Skye. I’m not sure if you’ve been on sleeper buses before bloody awful I did one in Laos and I promised myself I’ll never go on another one 🤣 one of the worst travel experiences ever.
Oh no 🤣 gonna do my first sleeper bus tomorrow night so I hope I don’t hate it hahaha!
@@SkyeSamuels it was wild I certainly didn’t sleep we had a family of about 10 next to us just constantly staring at me we had about 2 burst wheels and the driver was blaring rave music all night I guess to keep him awake 🙈.

Good luck remember to capture it all your making memories and it’s so good to watch back. (We can laugh now about our experience my face is hilarious 😆)
So 6 hours each way?. Could you not have got a flight?
This is what Im thinking! I scrolling trying to figure out what am I missing?!
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 😀
If you choose to fly I don't think you can make it back to Vietnam in a day even everything goes to plan.
How many times can do you do this?
As many as you need 😀
@@SkyeSamuels thanks a lot and you saved me £25 on my first visa with that link....LEGEND

100 k VND are not equivalent to 37.50 Lb or 45 USD . Did you make a conversion mistake my friend
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

Well I'm married to a local woman from Hanoi, no visa issue here!
Lucky 😀
@@SkyeSamuels yes, residency for spouses of citizens is fairly generous and a simple process.
Lifes too short to spend 14 hours plus feess, once a month. Not for me.
