      it's easy! You can just apply for your Visa on Arrival in advance, and then show the paper to the immigration officer and he stamps your passport - very easy!

    • @pillowtalker8398
      @pillowtalker8398 Před rokem

      I don’t think so. It’s a valid question. You never know what you get when you apply. For golden week this year they gave me a 10 day visa a week late. Leaving me to just roam about HCMC and spend money for three days. A lot of travelers complain about this.

  • @watchouch
    @watchouch Před 6 měsíci +3

    To vietnamese people, dong means dollar.
    When we talk about the price of something, we don't include "dong" in our conversation.
    For example: it costs 4 dollars
    For vietnamese people: it costs 40 thousands.
    We tend to leave the word "dong" out. And thousand(s) secretly becomes the name of the currency.
    Same rule goes for million(s) and billion(s).

    • @watchouch
      @watchouch Před 6 měsíci +1

      One tip is that you should just remove 000 in your head.
      For example, just think the donuts costed 50. You gave her 100 then should expect to have 50 back 😂

    Tip for crossing street in Vietnam:
    Many tourist foreigners scared of traffic in VN . Don’t worry about it! The rule to win this fear is keep routin slowly walking when you across the streams of motobike! -motobykers knows how to avoid you themself in chaos-order! remmember do not run and stop suddently , accident immidiatly ! Don’t be affraid off and do it if you want to be safety in the crazy- rule traffic in Vietnam.

    VND it's very confusing for foreigners cuz if you want to be a REAL millionaire then you'll have to have above 1 mil USD and not VND :) But if you wanna be a billionaire in Viet Nam you'll need above 1 trillion VND and lots of cars.
