Vietnam visa for overland travel for US citizens
We are US citizens traveling for the year and hope to enter Vietnam via Cambodia overland. We are very confused about obtaining a visa. We were unable to apply for a visa prior to leaving the USA as our first entry was more than 6 months after leaving. We will be in Bali, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand in the coming months. Are we able to go into a consulate in one of those countries? If so any recommendations on where is best to go? Also any price guidelines? And is it correct that since we aren't entering by air we can not do a VOA?

As you entering via Cambodia, you can get Vietnam visa there. Visa application at the Vietnam Embassy in Cambodia is known as the cheapest way to get visa to Vietnam. You can get a visa stamped on your passport within 4 working days. Just do be aware of public holidays, both in Vietnam and your country of choice, most embassy tend to shut down on those days.
