Vietnam holiday

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Sorry if this is the wrong place for getting info and hopefully a member will point me to the correct area.

I plan to have a holiday near a beach in Vietnam with my Thai family and also get a retirement visa at the same time.

Suggestions for the best place and easyist city to apply along with any advice from our great members would be great, thanks in advance.

From the Thai Consulate criteria you would not qualify to apply for an OA Long stay visa in Vietnam. IMO re-enter Thailand and then reapply for an OA visa locally, lot less paperwork and easier. However, one of the Mods may have a different recommendation.

At this time of year a bit cold in Norther Vietnam, depends what you want from your holiday. Personally would recommend a few days in HO Chi Minh then head for places such as Danang, Hoi An, Dalat.  Internal domestic flights are cheap, otherwise travel by train.

Dalat is nice if you like golf. 

Dalat my favourite place in Vietnam. Nearly stayed there on a permanent basis.  In the highlands, coolish all year round

 

However the OP is looking for recommendations somewhere near a beach,long way from Dalat????

 

Recommend www.travelfish.com for no nonsense,realistic, beach side options

cold in Hanoi this time of year (TET) and most places shut down for the month long holiday 'roll up the sidewalks' etc..not sure what it's like on the southern coast, Danang, Nha Trang, etc...hot and humid all year around in HCMC...Vung Tau on the coast near HCMC is probably OK...ain't much of a beach there though, mostly sexually deprived western oil workers...some good restaurants...'hey, lets get a pizza and a bottle of red wine and have a party and play hide the pepperoni...' three hours later 'goddam pizza is cold...'

 

oops, forgot that the OP is with his family...HCMC is OK for marriage visas from advice on this forum, not sure about retirement visas...

Retirement VISA No, NON o multi for staying with wife YES, Single entry o to stay with child YES.

HCMC would be the place to get the VISA, and there's an express ferry (about 1 hr) down the river to the beach at Vung Tau.
