Visa on Arrival
What is a 'Visa on Arrival ?'
This is most likely the easiest way to obtain your visa without having to chase down embassies, consulates and the like prior to your trip, and is a valid alternative when applying for a tourist visa. The entry visa will be stamped on your passport as you pass through our immigration checkpoint. Though valid for thirty days, it can be extended once you enter Vietnam. With this type of visa, you only can enter the country by air.
How to get a Visa on Arrival?
The travel agent can obtain what is called an “Approval Letter” for you from the Vietnam Immigration Department in Hanoi. After the agent obtains the approval for you, he will forward you a copy by fax or email. Copies of the same document will be forwarded on your behalf to Vietnam immigration checkpoints at International Airports only, so that when you arrive in Vietnam, the Immigration officers will have those documents on hand and will be able to issue your entry visa expediently.
What are the charges for Visa on Arrival?
The application fee for a visa on arrival is TBA. You will be required to pay approximately USD 25 visa stamp fee directly to the customs officer at the airport.
