Anybody dealt with this sort of thing before or have an good guesses about attitudes at the HAN entry point?
You will NOT be allowed into Vietnam until the EXACT day specified on your visa. No exceptions.

I would recommend this visa company in Hanoi, who arranged my visa a few months ago for $20 USD. It took about 3 days for them to email me a pre-approval letter which is exchanged for a visa at either HAN or SGN airports.
