Нужна ли виза во Вьетнаме?

Друзья, всем привет!

Вопрос немного не по теме, но надеюсь добрые администраторы подскажут нужный топик)

Мы летим на Бали через Вьетнам (Хошимин), стыкуемся разными авиалиниями в течение почти 24 часов (и туда, и обратно). Очень хочется выйти в город. Однако неясен визовый вопрос. Кто-то сталкивался? Нужна ли виза гражданам России?

На разных ресурсах разная инфо: где-то говорится, что Россиянам виза не нужна на пребывание до 15 дней, где-то - что если ты транзитом во Вьетнаме, то должен оставаться в аэропорту.

Хэлп!

2 года назад отдыхал 2 недели во Вьетнаме. Никакие визы не нужны были для Россиян. Думаю с транзитом проблем не будет..

Друзья, всем спасибо за комментарии. Мне кажется, я поняла, что к чему.

Действительно, гражданам России для въезда во Вьетнам на срок не более 15 дней виза не нужна.
Visa required, except for Nationals of Russian Fed. with a
normal passport for a maximum stay of 15 days.

Однако есть очень важный нюанс:
Warning:
- Passengers with an APEC Business Travel Card must travel
  with a passport. The passport number and nationality must
  match those stated on the card.
- Nationals of Russian Fed. holding normal passports entering
  Viet Nam without a visa must have a gap of at least 30 days
  from their last departure date from Viet Nam.
- Visa exempt visitors not holding return/onward tickets could
be refused entry.

Выделенные цветом положения дословно означают следующее:
во-первых, у вас должен быть обязательно иметься либо обратный билет, либо билет в другую страну на дату в пределах 15 дней после въезда;
во-вторых, если вы планируете покинуть Вьетнам в течение 15 дней и вернуться обратно - по возвращении вам обязательно понадобится виза.

Так что будьте аккуратны!
