Have you heard of Vietnam? or better still do you have information about Vietnam?
What are the investment opportunity there? What kind of people are they
A friend wants to know please.
Have you been there? All I know is the Vietnamese war nothing more.

I have been to vietnam,
They dont appreciate africans, so dont think it!!!, they have a hater group that kill African that is only in HOCHIMING CITY, HANOI the capital is nice!!!, nice people and nice weather. Cost of living isnt cheap nor expensive just in between.
The country strives on tourism 10yrs from now they will be among Asia elite.

Lol, Vietnam ke?

LMAO Vietnam

like the other poster said they thrive on tourism and that country is know for oyinbo men going to sleep with underage girls including all the other poor southeast asian countries. I can't really see what you want to do there because there would be a humongous language barrier and for that matter our reputation precedes us

The next China! Watch out for them. They are creeping up behind everyone slowly!

If i may ask , is Vietnam visa on arrival for Nigerians ? or is there Vietnamese embassy in Nigeria ?

do a google search for the consulate web page for vietnam all the info you need is there

concentrate your research on the capital city of hanoi (saigon) as that is the only place in vietnam wrth looking towards as a foreigner.

i know u are hoping to get some first hand info here, but i doubt there are many nairalanders in vietnam, so turn to man's new best friend ; GOOGLE!

I know a lot about Vietnam on the vacation side already , googles does not seems to find information about how Nigerian Nationality can apply for visa to Vietnam . Am a nigerian but resident in the Seychelles and no Vietnam embassy here in Seychelles or Neighboring country and it seems to me no Vietnam embassy in Nigeria also

@ Kenflipper posted that he as been to Vietnam before , how did u go about getting a tourist visa to Vietnam ?

Vietnam, has arepresenrative since last year in Nigeria. They were meant to open their embassy last year, which to my knowledge, is functional presently. Nigerians are persona non grata in Vietnam now, infact no airline will carry you from here. My firm, partnered with their representative last year to secure visas for business men who attended their int'l trade fair "VIETNAM EXPO 2008".

Thanks for the above info , do u have contact of the representative in Nigeria ?Am a Nigeria but legal resident of the Seychelles so will be flying from the Seychelles . Is it possible to post passport to the Rep for the visa or is it appearance ?

Why am keen is that me and my friends are doing asia tour in May , have gotten the rest of the asian countries visa we will be visiting just Vietnam visa left . My friends are Scandinavians it is visa free for 15-days for them (They are dam so lucky!)

Darkroll, yes, it is non appearance, you can mail your passport. But if you have relative here who can help you do the errand fine. But i have to confirm, if they still issue the visa, cos of the stated reason on earlier post the rep have added Cambodia to its services. If you dont mind, can i mail you their contact. Send me your email to fogmanmails@yahoo.com
