Is it difficult for Pakistani to get Vietnam visa ?

Vietnam attracts worldwide travelers and tourists with various beauties: the ancient of Old Quarter in Hanoi capital, magnificent of Ha Long bay, the marvelous scene in developing Ho Chi Minh city. Vietnam is in the bucket list of any travel lover including Pakistani. However, getting Vietnam visa is still a biggest obstacle which prevents Pakistani travelers to Vietnam.   My Vietnam Visa Experience When I planned a visit to Vietnam last year in November, it was certainly a few months ahead of time planning. I tried to shop around within Pakistan, and the cheapest quote for Vietnam Visa I could get was Rs. 25000 ($240) which is definitely too much to spend only for visa.

Be careful with street vendors in Vietnam!

Temporary residence registration for foreigners in Vietnam

Recently, my US client called me and ask if he needs to register his residence in the flat that is rent under his Vietnamese girlfriend's name ? YES or NO ? In reality, even Vietnamese, they do not know about Vietnamese law, till they are questioned by policeman, they know that what they are doing is not Right. Many foreigners stay for quite a long time in Vietnam and do not register their stay until they are asked by police officer then pay expensive fine. These people again blame on the landlord and other agents for not reminding them to do temporary resident registration. According to Vietnamese law, foreigners must register their stay wherever they spend night(s) in Vietnam. Gist: Long-term residents will need to reregister regularly Registration is usually done through the owner of the property, who is usually held responsibility in cases of noncompliance unless the expat is clearly at fault. Temporary residence books are kept to make a record of the length of time ...
