问题： 去印度支那申请签证？
你好，如果你能给我建议的话，我会绕道。我们希望2015年去远东，背包旅行6个月。我们将于二月份离开英国，在澳大利亚待一段时间，然后前往新加坡、马来西亚、泰国、越南、柬埔寨，可能还有老挝。我们计划从英国飞往澳大利亚，然后从澳大利亚飞往新加坡，乘坐铁路、巴士或一些国内航班穿越这些国家，然后可能从曼谷或类似地点出发。由于我们不会飞往河内或胡志明机场，我们如何获得越南签证？这也包括柬埔寨吗？我们的计划是在每个国家待大约一个月，但到了那里我们的计划可能会改变，以便我们在某些国家待更长的时间，在其他国家待更少的时间。您能告诉我们什么是最好的签证，我们如何获得签证以及费用吗？我们希望这次旅行成为一次轻松的文化冒险，如果我们愿意的话，我们可以在一个地方停留比计划更长的时间，而不是匆忙，如果我们还没有看到/完成我们想要的一切，就必须在 30 天内继续前进。
由于我在旅行前需要 5 至 7 个国家的签证，并且我们不知道到达或离开澳大利亚以外的任何国家的确切日期，这对我们有何好处？我需要把护照寄走吗？
非常感谢，

Dear Gill Smith,
感谢您与我们联系。
We would like to answer your questions as follows.
1/As we will not be flying into Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh airport how do we obtain a visa for Vietnam?
For travelers entering Vietnam by land and sea, you are required to go to the nearest 越南大使馆/领事馆 to apply Vietnam visa in person. If you fly to Vietnam, you can consider Vietnam visa on arrival instead of going to the embassy/consulate.
2/Does this also include Cambodia?
No, it doesn't. Unlike Schengen Area, visa of each country in Southeast Asia is independent.
3/ Can you advise us what the best visa is, how we go about getting one and the cost please?
The visa requirements and fees vary from one country to another. Kindly contact Embassy/Consulate of each country nearest your place for further advice. You can also see visa section 这里 for reference.
4/As I will need visa's for 5 – 7 countries prior to travel and we don't know exact dates for arrival or departure in any countries other than Australia, how will this work to our benefit? And will I need to send our passports away?
You are advised to revise your schedule carefully to estimate your date of arrival or at least the soonest arrival date since once you get visa of one country, earlier arrival is not acceptable.
You are recommended to apply the longest validity visa that you are permitted. For example, you can apply 3 months Vietnam visa so that you can arrival and exit Vietnam at any time during 3 months validity.
Another way is to extend your visa when it expires. However, please note that the requirements for visa extension vary from one country to another, therefore, please contact the relevant Embassy/Consulate for further advice.
We hope that you find this answer helpful and wish you a wonderful journey to Asia.
P/s: If you travel to Vietnam and need further support about travel logistics (visa on arrival, hotels, transports, tours, etc), feel free to 联系我们。
致以真诚的感谢和诚挚的问候， Vietnamvisa.org.vn
