Visa to Visit Vietnam

Wow, it is expensive! $45 each, and that’s after applying for the letter of approval via the Internet. That’s supposed to be the easier, cheaper way. If I were a member of the Southeast Asian Economic Bloc, then it would be free. No fair! Well, I guess they’re sticking it to us for bombing Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and dropping more bombs on Lao’s Plane of Jars (we weren’t even at war with Laos) than were dropped on Japan and Germany in all of WWII. Maybe that’s part of it.

It’s probably tit for tat on how we treat them. How much do we charge them for a visa? After you add on homeland security fees, background checks, I bet it’s a lot. Probably more than $45.
