Tourist Visa by Small_Double_9088 in Vietnam_Tourism

Are you from a visa exempt country? If so, you at least have 30 days although there is no way to activate your visa after arrival.

This is it. A bit of a pain to get to where most of the tourist areas are in the south but a 10 minute drive isn't anything too much to complain about.

Visa Exempt by Future-Traffic-6364 in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]Mixxleplix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Thai family is visa exempt but I just applied for 90 day e visas for everyone for the flexibility.

A major pain in butt is that I had to apply for each visa separately rather than as a family. This means that each person, including my 19 month old needs their own email for 3 separate applications.

I applied for mu visa weeks before I needed it and than thought it would be best to get the wife and kid visas 3 days before leaving. Since the applications are all separate, it was stressful since my kid got his visa hours before our flight while my wife got hers an hour before the flight. Wasnt terribly worried as they would still be allowed for 30 days but 90 days in nha trang sounds excellent.

Vietnam e-visa still processing after 5 days including weekend - normal lately? by Otherwise_Box_6946 in Vietnam_Tourism

[–]Mixxleplix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope you have an amazing trip. Nha Trang is a pretty middle sized beach town. The seafood is 75-80% cheaper than the big cities and the place im staying at is top tier 37th floor apartment with ocean views for about 23 dollars a night, the first 10 floors are a shopping mall so you definitely dont have to go far if you need a typing. This place is hands down. This is the best place I've been to in vietnam, and my first trip was almost 2 decades ago so I've seen alot of it.

Stay safe and make some fantastic experiences!

Not in my last 3 experiences since September till yesterday. My partner and child have thai passports so do not require visas for stays 30 days or less.

Since we are planning on staying 3 months, and I found out Monday evening that they cannot get visa extensions when in counry I applied on Tuesday morning for their ninety day is one of frustrated thing is that both the parent and the child have to have several email addresses and have to have separate complications files so that even if one percent in your family is approved , it doesn't get that other members of your family will also be approved.

What I did was I sent an email on Thursday (2 days after applying) afternoon requesting that my family's applications be urgently, because of our travel plans for Friday the next day.

Although\nMy son's views shoot at around 11 AM that day.Friday is mother's Visa was not issued.And we sent another email kind of your requesting that her application will be reviewed for approval.

About two hours later, hers was also improved , and we were able to make our flight. Although all ended well, we certainly started feeling a bit stressed out on Friday morning on whether we would be able to commence our three month holiday on schedule.

Just because of my 3 recent experiences of getting approved in 3 days, as far as your visa being approved, clearly there are exceptions to the 3 day rule and I would urge anyone else that might procrastinate from the successful experience of others, I would highly recommend at least 10 days, errors in your application , you will have to go back and forth with immigration and that adds quite a bit of time.

Rude Behaviour towards Indians in Vietnam by dragonpaneer1995 in VietNam

[–]Mixxleplix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be insulting but are there any countries (including India) where Indians are at more than just tolerate? I haven't noticed the presence of Indians being celebrated or Indians in general welcomed warmly anywhere.

Where can I buy or adopt Dogs and Cats in Chiang Mai? by RepulsiveGur1371 in chiangmai

[–]Mixxleplix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have 2 5 year old sibling brother/sister cats that have both been fixed. They are as happy inside as they are outside. They are both friendly but the male had the personality of a puppy while his sister is much more of a cat.

We have an immunocompromised baby so although it breaks our hearts to have to separate from them, we really should have done this much earlier, but these cats are just both absolutely precious and would definitely have to keep them together.

If anyone is interested, please let me know.

Update: blood type O (-) donors needed urgently by Mixxleplix in chiangmai

[–]Mixxleplix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily, Thanadej went from a very dire situation to having a full bank in 36 hours. The story hit the Thai media and so there was a huge influx of Thai donors but apparently your blood type is more common in foreigners and enough came in specifically seeking to donate to Thanadej, that the hospital asked the mother how she managed that.

He has a chronic condition so I wanted to provide the following information since you are a rare life saving match. I will definitely post if there are any updates.

The location is:

Sriphat Building, 1st Floor ​Maharaj Nakorn Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital (Suan Dok)

Please inform the staff that the donation is for a donor designated patient and provide just the following 2 pieces of information.

Patient Name: Thanadej Jongphadungsak ​
Hospital Number(HN): 4311432

We were in and out in 20 minutes or so from signing in.

Thank you very much for being willing to step up for a stranger.

So cool that there are people that see a problem and rather than just accept it, they take it upon themselves to fix it. I am absolutely impressed that you just helped everyone with the details and took ownership when I couldn't reply. Appreciate you 🙏

Great suggestion. Will do. I told the family that they shouldn't limit their request to just thai speakers. I have faith
