Note: Applicants can be sure to obtain a visa before coming to Vietnam if applying at the embassy, but applicants must go to the Embassy of Vietnam personally, which takes a lot of time, especially in case of the embassy is far from home. Besides, the time to process and complete the procedures is also long. It would be very troublesome if applicants had to go to the embassy several times. The price for applying at the embassy is also high. So, we encourage the applicants to apply for a visa upon arrival.

2. Visa upon arrival:

Visa on arrival is one of visas issued by the Vietnamese Immigration Department for foreigners intending to enter Vietnam (for both tourism and business purpose). This type of visa allows citizens of all countries in the world to apply with one month, three months, six months or twelve months with one-time entry or multiple entry.

For getting a Vietnam visa upon arrival, travelers need to get a visa approval letter first. This is the most important document proving that the applicants are allowed to receive Vietnam visa when they arrive the Vietnamese airports. If applicants do not have this letter, they cannot obtain visa when arriving, which also means that they cannot enter Vietnam. Applicants can submit application for this letter before entering Vietnam several months, or even some days before the departure date. Our recommendation is applying approval letter one month before departure date.

The applicants do not need to come to any place for applying approval letter because they can apply it online. Applicants just give us the basic personal information on the Internet including full name, gender, date of birth, nationality and other information.

However, in some special cases, applicants must attach the following documents to prove the tourism purpose:

• Confirmation of hotel reservation
• Confirmation of a round trip ticket
• Passport copy
