Vietnamese repatriation flights are for Vietnamese nationals only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiSePuede419 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hmmm. Wonder why there are no flights? ???? Maybe it's not a good time to fly. Why don't you rent a car and drive? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works for me 2 months ago. I am not sure about now. They have 2 flights per month from Bangkok to HCM and Hanoi. I flew from Bangkok to HCM last October. As long as you have all the required documents and they have seats available. Of course 14 days quarantine in VN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course 14 days quarantine in VN OK, so in this case the OP should contact both , vietjet company and vietnamese embassy. I am recommending embassy because may be vietjet is allowed to book seats only after embassy permission. some countries are doing this. not sure about vietnam. but since its jst a flight or two as u mentioned , may be embassy approval is needed. Dear @Rob21 please contact the embassy as well as vietjet company. Enquire about your options. Hope u r able to reach vietnam soon.. good luck . ????

Dear @Rob21 please contact the embassy as well as vietjet company. Enquire about your options. Hope u r able to reach vietnam soon.. good luck . ???? I have provide to Rob21 the specific contact details of Vietjet Thailand who arrange these specific booking. They will provide the details of the scheduled (mean the ones approved by the Vietnamese authorities) of the next available flights either to Hanoi or HCM. They will provide you the list of requirements (visa requirements, approval of the people comittee, covid test, quarantine...). You can pre-booked but your seat will be confirmed only once you have provided the requirements to them and paid for the ticket. I did that for August flight but couldn't get it as I didn't have all the requirements ready, tried the 2 scheduled flights for September and finally got it in October. Things might have change now due the covid evolution. But I am in Vietnam right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob21 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 I will contact vietjet. However the Vietnamese embassy does not answer the phone. I call 026508979, do you know if there is an alternative number to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nervona81732 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I have lived in Thailand for 9 years. I want to move on. I was initially going to go to Vietnam in the beginning but got sidetrack by a friend and ended up staying. I am tired of this place and had always wanted to retire there. How is the VISA situation now for long stay. Nearly 71 and want to go back since I was 19. From what I hear and see the attitude is much different. Not into bar scene just would like peace with out the continual Thai frustrations. want to spend the rest of my life on the coastal are there. I was in Vietnam in 1969 and through 1970 and i really liked the people. Had many friends there when I wasn't flying. Can anyone give me any input on settling in there? i know the drill and follow the rules living here for so long. Just need to leave and never look back on Thailand.

You will be joining what appears to be tens of thousands of ex-pats who have gotten sick of the constant nonsense here, and already left. Immigration is like a moving target. It appears increasingly more obvious that the authorities do not want us here, and the level of toxicity on the part of immigration, and the government is annoying. Also, this administration is ridiculously incompetent and incapable of improving anything. They are the very definition of regressive. Having said all that, I am staying. I still love it here, despite the annoyances. I like the people, love the food, love my Thai wife and her family, enjoy a reasonable standard of living, and have alot of ties here. If I could afford it, I would live part of the year in Turkey on the southern coast, part of the year in Spain, spend a month or so in the US, do some additional traveling (post apocalypse) and spend no more than two months a year here.

At this moment, entering Vietnam is restricted to work visa qualified as Expert and diplomat. That's how it has been since I arrived in Vietnam last October from Thailand. There has been a new wave of Covid since January and measures of lockdown have been increased. So I believe unless you come for work with expert status, or have local family, it must be very difficult or impossible to be permitted to enter Vietnam at this time.

My speculation as to "why" they have left is surely not based on science, or empirical evidence. Though, with the toxicity of this administration, none is required. But, the fact that thousands have left, is right out there in the open. I know many, and many have been posting online, about their departures. Polls have been taken right here in Thaivisa. Thailand’s farang forum, Thaivisa, has conducted two unofficial polls that indicate that many expats will be calling it quits and leaving the Kingdom. The polls are a response from the affected ThaiVisa audience, not indicative of the total expat population living in Thailand. On the ThaiVisa website the question was asked… “Will the new financial requirements force you to leave?” • 7.9% said Yes • 22.72% said it would seriously jeopardise their stay • 69.38% said they would not have to leave On their Facebook page, a similar question was more clear cut. Asked if the tough new financial requirements for retirement extensions (visas) would force people to leave: • 49% said Yes • 51% said No https://thethaiger.com/thai-life/a-third-of-expats-may-have-to-leave-survey-on-new-retirement-visa-extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every white guy I met in Thailand over the past 10 years has left. Some to Cambodia, most back to their western home countries, 8 (most) have left this earth. Essentially, all the single guys have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
