RE: Vietnam "sells" visa extensions without leaving the country - the masses complain

in #travel4 years ago

I thought you had some plans to come back to the states on one of your renewal trips? Not that you would really want to bum around over here right now anyway. That is cool that they are doing something to accommodate those who have no other recourse, even though they are kind of making you pay out the nose for it. Kind of reminds me of what you went through in Thailand, only a little less corrupt!

Sort:  

I normally come back to the States in order to renew a visa and visit family once a year, but that isn't possible this year and I'm happy i didn't try to do so. Since I don't bring my dog with me on these trips that could have been a very bad situation.

Oh yeah, for sure. I saw a news story the other day about some people who got married and before they could move in together all this happened. So one of them is stuck in Canada and the other is in the US. They meet every day on this road between the two countries that just has a guard rail separating them. Border patrol stands around to make sure no one jumps over bit people bring lawn chairs and set them up on either side of the rail to talk fave to face with friends and family.
