I’m a korean who lives in Vietnam with an American spouse. And yes he did get scammed. With US passport, you don’t need any visa to visit Korea up to 90 days, and most of VN int,l airports know that. Also even if you do, K-ETA cost shouldn’t be more than 10,000won($7.50). The VN international airports are known for corruption and bribe. One time, they tried to get me saying that my resident card isn’t valid, and took all my belongings including passport and the phone and held me in their security check room for an hour without telling me anything. I had to beg them to let me use my phone so I can reach out my husband’s company’s HR. Basically what I heard from the HR is that they wanted to get paid off.

Did you have just a tourist visa for Thailand? I often fly between Korea and Japan. Even though I get an automatic 90-day tourist visa as a US passport holder, I *always* need to provide proof of "onward travel" (return ticket or ticket to another country) when checking in. I heard it's because immigration needs proof you already have a ticket out of the country and are not going to stay there indefinitely if you run out of money. Not saying I agree with that policy but that's just what I heard. Since I want to be flexible with my travel stays, I always buy a cheap temporary onward ticket online and it always works. You can Google it online. It's basically like you're "renting" a real flight ticket reserved in your name for 48 hours. The alternative is just to buy any ticket from an airlines that has a free cancellation and then cancel it as soon as you arrive at your destination.

The family we stayed with (Airbnb: Lilly Homestay) arranged for our pickup from the airport to their place (about an hour ride ), cooked 2 meals a day for us, loaned us their scooter for getting around… I can’t speak for ALL of Vietnam, but the area is clean, safe and stunningly beautiful.

The airport staff DID NOT scammed him. When you need an ETA (electronic travel authorization) to enter a country, they will ask for it before allowing you to board the plane. The staff was just informing him of that. That scam is very common when you try to apply for an ETA. You might find a webpage that looks A LOT like the official page to apply for the ETA. You answer all the questions and at the end it shows you that outrageous price. What actually happens is that you’re paying a third party to submit your application for you (even though you already did all the work). It’s very sneaky. ETA’s are usually very cheap.

Actually if ur just staying on the airport for layover, u dont need a visa to enter, bcoz ur not entering Korea. Vietjet airline staff sometime not clear about this rule. Recently, we flew Vietjet from Sg to Japan via Ho Chi min,h, im with someone who's not visa free in Viet. They asked him if he have visa, and we inform the staff we are not going out of the airport to transit, we will be just within the airport before immigration so they let us check-in and continue our flight.

I didn't hear her ask for $99 dollars. She sounded like she's saying " it's free to Korea".

If you're a US Citizen you don't need KETA anymore. I paid for it during the pandemic and it's only $10 and good for 2 years. You really got scammed sorry to hear that.

I got scammed on the same deal in Shanghai to go to Australia. You always need to know where you need a visa, even if electronic. It has to be done before you go to the country. It’s a scam. Mostly I feel sorry people are that pathetic that they’ve got to pull that kind of crap on travelers.

I suspect the girl just saw the banner headline, not the URL and was trying to be helpful. These so called visa assist websites get away with it because they are not technically scams. They claim to make the process easier for a fee. Sometimes (as in the case with the Vietnamese visa) they CAN speed up the process because they have corrupt links to officials. In other cases their fee is for simplifying the official form which they then submit on your behalf. This may slow the process if the real server thinks it is receiving spam from them. So, you need to be careful.

K-ETA is not a Visa. It’s a pre conditional approval for tourists. It costs less than $10USD. Moreover 22 countries don’t require K-ETA until 31 December 2024.

It's hit and miss in Vietnam. In the local areas people are friendly and genuine, in the tourist areas It's rip off city. But the airport is a place where you wouldn't expect to get scammed. The guy should've done his homework instead of leaving it to the last minute

I, too, was almost scammed the same way except this was flying to Vietnam. Luckily, Capital One made it super difficult for the transaction to go through. In the moment, I was annoyed, but in hindsight it worked out for the better. They wanted $400 for an "expedited" visa. Sad part is nothing to do but kick the sand and do the homework on it next time. Becomes a shitty lesson in preparedness.

I had a short 1 hour layover in Vietnam. Didnt know I needed a transfer visa and didnt have enough time to apply for one and approved. Needed to get my next ticket outside the terminal cuz I didnt get an electronic ticket and you cant get tickets inside the terminal. Ended up having to bribe an employee to print my ticket. It was either that or get deported. He took my passport which was terrifying but ended up getting my ticket only paying him $20. Thought he was going to ask for more🤷‍♂️

Dumbest way to get scammed 💀

It's your responsibility to make sure you have the proper documents to enter a country. The way you can do this is by planning your journey and research whether you need a visa or other form of authorization before departing for the country. Just because you have a powerful passport, doesn't mean you can just walk into any country. And check with your airline whether your layover will require you to move between airport or using a different terminal which might require a pass through the immigration check at which point, you do need to check what you need to do before your journey. This is days before the journey, not when you are about to check into your flight.

I prepared a box of 23kg packed with toys worth $100 and when he got to the Tan Son Nhat airport in Saigon Vietnam he became a victim of distortion. The people at the airport told him to pay $1000 cash for tax purposes then the reason was changed to “coffee tips” without any paper work then if he didn’t pay he will be forced to go back to the US and fined $1000. Then they made him sign a bogus paper stating that he “no longer wants the box”. So they pretty much stole my box.
