5 months of overstay - 2 passports - SO MANY QUESTIONS!! ^_^

Captain hindsight here, but why didnt you declare the passport stolen the moment the land lady took it (which it basically was), then go about getting yourself a new visa the normal way on your new document?? Would have been cheaper and less stress than paying any over staying fees.

Captain hindsight , that is a perfectly reasonable question but to most people it would b a Concorde (whoosh)

Just come back from a fishing trip. Past a Chinese oil rig, saw some bloke called Jag waving a bunch  of dong around, said his got loads of MONEY.

Jag? Sure it wasn't calamari ?

Even China might be a safer place for him at the moment, he hasn't posted for a while, maybe he's been arrested?

Thailand could be an option

Whats the worst that could happen,,,  Jail time, they wont keep him in there to long, he would be blocking up the space for a real crimanal, ladies bag snacher. Chicken nicker. The usual suspects!!

The worst that could happen, is that he will posting on this site from abroad, after he gets out of jail.

Looking at your Avatar Jeff, have you got a dog that can climb walls as well?, mine scales 2 m high walls, no problem, ( especially while chasing a cat ).

I can do that when chasing a pussy

Cat

Can you watch Tom and Jerry in jail here?

Would that chicken actually be a rooster?
If you were a genuine Buddhist, ( not like the fakes around here, who eat meat, and are cruel to animals ), you might get that chance to die many times.

So a rooster is not a chicken ? Well if I got to die many times I would at least create some time consuming activities for those that celebrate the dead

As the Viets are pals with the Russians, he could end up in Siberia !!!!

That would be the same as Nth America in winter and during the short summer months you could ride your Yamaha ride on mower like the rest of the country. Grass has to grow quickly

All Vietnamese hotels are supposed to do it - yes there are some, which can do with a photocopy, however, try to use some of the not international hotels, then they will keep it for the police.

I have experienced it myself - 8 days and I had to pay USD 100 in HCMC.
I had a family member living in the Mekong Delta and he forget to renew the visa for 4 months
and it cost him USD 700.
Honestly, I think pay the fine is the only way out. Can your embassy pay and collect from you, when
you return to your home country?? I know some countries can do this, but that is normally when the
passport/money etc have been stolen.

700 troi oi

I'm not sure what the laws are here about this.  Remember, your passport is not your personal property.  It is issued by and belongs to your government.  In effect, it was stolen from you by your former landlady, who should be the one to pay the fines.  Talk to a passport agent or lawyer you trust.  If all else fails, find a way to pay the fine.

or you can get married 

The only quick solution I can think of, is to get out of Vietnam through one of the unofficial border crossings into say Cambodia or China. Apply online for visa on arrival using your second passport. that way you can get back in.....

He  will get still get a short jail term for the Visa violation, and then life for the marriage.

Hi Jag,
sorry for the situation you meet.

In the course of my 20 years in Vietnam, I had to sort out similar cases with ministry of Interior.

I overstayed my visa a few times and never had a problem renewing. Though, unlike this sad bastard, I had the cash to  take care of it. It cost a little more than tea money, though. More like take the whole family out to eat money 

As for marriage, I'm doing two life sentences. I must have been Genghis Khan in a previous life or maybe one of those roosters waking everyone up at 5 am.

Yeah, I forgot you marry the family as well, I'm one of the lucky few, both in laws are deceased, the other siblings are a rare breed in VN, they understand my need for privacy. and hardly ever bother me. ( unless they want something made or fixed, of course, but what family doesn't do that?  ).

Can you imagine what it would be like to b discarded after u have served your usefulness ( bit like a male tarantula). That would not be something to look forward too. Bit like a sheep that has a very peaceful existence in a beautiful setting and then someone comes along and eats your back leg !

Oh god help me but I will settle for Buddha

hi,I from Norway, got myself the same situation like yours, well extreme like your situation. You have to go Cambodia border. I show you how.Contact me : thoh@hotmail.com

good idea

Yeah, you are tooooooooooooooooo late!

The OP is long gone. I heard something about disguising himself as a Chinese sailor, working on an oil rig, and getting caught in a fishing net.  I have a feeling he'll show up here one day, with wild stories of his crazy travels back home. Gods speed Mr. OP, Gods speed.

some good advice there, do you have parents or close friends that can wire you the money and some to spare? ...

Moneygram and Western Union operate under US banking rules WHICH REQUIRE TWO PIECES OF PHOTO ID.

If the OP has lost his PP that requirement might prove a challenge. He might have to use a trusted friend to get the money from these outfits.
