Cambodia: Getting a Vietnamese visa in Phnom Penh

We got to our hotel around 1.00pm and decided to go and try to sort out the Vietnamese visa by ourselves. The following documents we needed:

– Passport
– 1 passport size photo
– 1 visa form ( that we go at the embassy )

We hired a tuk tuk driver to take us to the Embassy it did cost us $5 go and back from the hotel. As it was a Friday afternoon I was a bit scared that we wouldn’t be able to get the visa before the weekend but luckily it wasn’t the case.
The guys at the embassy said there are 2 options. We pay the normal visa fee of $30 or we do the expedited visa which is ready the same day for $60 each. Needless to say we picked the expedited visa option and our visas were ready by 4:30pm.

The total cost of the visas were:

Expedited visa * 2: $60
Tuk tuk ride * 2: $10

Tip: The Vietnamese Embassy will not take Riels be prepared to pay the fee in USD.
