I enjoyed the misery you described, OOPS!! I mean, thank you for the advice. I wonder if 3 years later it is still such a hassle…Anyway, I wish to inform you, Krista, and all the good people of the world who expand their horizons and knowledge by travel, in Russia, three, two, one day before Christmas, there is little activity at the post office! IF it is open during the ten-day New Year’s holiday, no one would be sending anything as Russian Orthodox Christmas is not the consumer orgy it has become in the rest of the Christian world. It is a holy day, no “celebration” other than going to the church at 10:00 PM until 2: or 3: in the morning.If 30 degrees or minus 30, we have a candle procession outside, usually walking all the way around the church.

I don’t think you really need airport pickup as long as you know what you’re doing and know how to get to your hotel!

Thank you for posting this. It has been very helpful and I just used the first company you spoke of with Fast Track. I didn’t purchase the airport pickup though, will that create any problems?

You are hilarious. Love what you wrote:-)
I’ve been there and done that too.
This time I’m going for the VIP service. Can’t wait to see what that’s like …lol.
Hopefully everything as they’ve described.
However I must say….be careful when you read their replies. They said to confirm my date otherwise there’s no refund. Thankfully they’ve made a mistake on my date of arrival ( 2 days after)!!!.
So read everything twice …and good luck travellers:-)

I travel often to Vietnam. And at the very first time to the country, I also got problem as I thought it was the same to get visa on arrival to Vietnam and to Cambodia. But actually, it was completely different =))

Hi Alex, what online company did you go through and were there clear direction at the airport telling you where to go?

It was more than just missing the form. It was the fact that I waited about two hours to get my visa on arrival!! I understand my experience was a bit unusual but it was VERY painful.

I used a different online company and had no problems at all. So because you missed the one step of filling out the form, the whole e-Visa thing was not a good experience? It’s actually a lot better than sending your passport off to who-knows-where to get it approved, not to mention less expensive.
