Day 163
Jan 14 2015 Phuket Thailand
We had a slow start to the day as we were
researching Vietnam visas and cruises.
According to the Vietnam embassy website in Canada we needed to obtain a
visa before leaving Canada. There is
even a warning listing many of the agents websites offering “visa on arrival”
services. According to the embassy website they are not valid and you should
notify the embassy if you have started to use one of the services. We then read a guide on Trip Advisor that
says that the warning on the embassy website is rubbish and there is no
problem to obtain a visa on arrival. We
have tickets to Vietnam already as we had to purchased them so we could get on
the plane in Kuala Lumpur when we were flying to Thailand. The joys of being forced by the air lines to
have an onward or return ticket to enter a country. We have decided to take a chance on the VOD sent
our application to one of the on-line agents.
If we are denied entry into Vietnam we will lose not only the cost of
the plane tickets but the cost of the VOD applicaton. The old adage “in for a penny, in for a
pound” applies in this case. In the
afternoon we took a taxi and went looking for a place where we could get
pictures for the visas and sunscreen for the Similan Islands cruise we are
going on in two days.
