In addition to Southeast Asian countries, Japan is one of a few Asian countries which are allowed to enter into Vietnam without visa through all gates. Therefore, Japanese citizens just need to show the passport and enter into Vietnam, no matter what your purpose is – tourist or business.

Maximum of the stay: 15 days

Document: Japanese original passport

After 15 days, you have to leave Vietnam. A gap of at least 30 days between two visa-free visits is required. After these 30 days, you can come back to enter into Vietnam again.

If you are going to make a plan to stay longer 15 days in Vietnam, there are 2 recommendations for you:

1. You can apply for Vietnam visa before arriving. There are 2 types of visa that you can apply online:

Visa On Arrival and E-visa (electronic visa). Depending on the type of visa, you can apply for single or multiple entry, from 1 month to 3 months.

2. You have a stay of 15 days in Vietnam without visa, then you need to extend your visa to stay longer. In this case, the price for extension is normally much higher than the price if you apply before coming to Vietnam

Difference between Visa On Arrival and E-visa:

For visa at the embassy or consulate, you can apply directly in your country with a little more complicated documents. However, there are also many people who choose this way because they were used to it. In addition, you can still apply for online visa (Visa On Arrival or E-visa) through website to easily get Vietnam visa.
