PRE-ARRIVAL INFORMATION VISA You may need a visa to enter Vietnam even for a short visit. Citizens
of the ASEAN countries, Belarus, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Italy, Japan,
R. Korea, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and UK may not need a visa for a short
visit (please, check carefully in a Vietnamese consulate/embassy most
convenient for you). In case you need an assistance from the Organizers in applying for a visa you
should complete the VISA
FORM (or its PDF
format) and return it to the workshop secretariat at least 3 weeks
before your intended date of arrival. Once a visa is approved by the
Immigration Department, a scanned
approval document will be sent to you by email. You should submit this document
(with a visa application) to a Vietnamese consulate of your choice in order to
get a visa stamped on your passport. In some cases, it is
possible to get a "visa on arrival" at the border checkpoint in a
Vietnamese international airport (it is more safe to
apply for it before your departure). ACCOMMODATION The following hotel and guest house, both on Hoang-Quoc-Viet
(HQV) street, are reserved for participants
of the workshop - Hotel: Somerset Hoa Binh
Hanoi Address: 106 Hoang Quoc Viet (street), Cau Giay (distric),
Hanoi Tel.: (84-24)
3755 5888 It is about 900m from the conference
site (see the google map). Following the street you
can go the conference site through either of the three gates of the VAST but it
may be more convenient to go through the gate 18C (most left) and the gate 18B (most
right), as the central gate 18 is usually closed between 8:30
– 16:30. - Guest house: VAST guest
house (17-floor building) 18 Hoang Quoc Viet street,
Cau Giay, Hanoi. (more convenient through the most-right gate 18 B) It is
about 200m from the conference
site and 350m from the 18B gate (see the google map). Important note: To book a room (and purchase a room price) and for other related information
you can contact the hotel and the guest house directly, but you may
get a better price (conference rate) if you book a room via the PGU-2018 secretariat
(pgu@iop.vast.ac.vn) by
completing and submitting the accommodation
reservation form (or its PDF
format). TRANSPORTATION Hanoi can
be reached by air, train or bus/car. If you arrive in Noi-Bai airport you can
go to the city by the following ways: o You can
take a taxi at a rate of about 300,000-350,000 VNĐ (about
14-15 USD) to go to any point in the city (by chance you may get a cheaper taxi,
but be careful with cheating taxi or drivers, so
it is more safe to take an airport taxi), or o You can
take an
airport shuttle bus (rate: 40,000 VNĐ), such as Vietjet shuttle bus, Vietnamairlines shuttle bus, etc., and ask the driver
to stop near/at 18 Hoang-Quoc-Viet (VAST guest house)
or 106 Hoang-Quoc-Viet (Somerset Hoa-Binh
Hanoi hotel). You can also take an express bus (rate: 40,000
VNĐ) to definite points including those in the city downtown/center, or o If you
have no bulky luggage (one not very big piece plus one small piece are usually
fine if the bus is not too crowded) you can take a city bus (maybe, not very comfortable but cheap) with an one-way
ticket of 7,000 VNĐ for an ordinary
bus No 7 – following almost the whole HQV street, or 9,000 VNĐ for a faster bus No 90 – not stopping on HQV
street but nearby. If you take a bus No 90 from the airport you can get off at a stop around here (just about 200m to the beginning of the HQV
street and about 600m to the gate 18B). If you arrive by bus/car or
train you get in the city and you can easily find a solution how to go to your
hotel/guest house. GOOD LUCK ! |
