All foreign visitors visa before
entering the countries. Visa can be applied at the Vietnam Embassy
or Consulate in your country with an application form, original
Passport and 3 photos. Now, travelers may also obtain visa upon
arrival at the airport with special requirement. The fees do vary
depending upon the country.
Vietnam has become more liberalized
now in issuing its visa to the foreign visitors. In many countries,
you can apply direct to the Vietnam Embassy or Consulates, and
generally, the application takes about 4-10 working days. Now
visitors also can obtain the visa upon arrival at the airport with
special requirement.
1. Application of Visa at
Vietnam Embassy
Arranging paper works is straight forward, just fill in an
application form and submit it with your original Passport, 2-3
photos with visa fees to the Embassy or Consulate, who in turn, has
to send the information to get the approval from Hanoi. After 4-10
days depending upon the country, you will get the visa stamp onto
your Passport.
SPECIAL NOTE:
For our clients, we will process the visa authorization with Hanoi
in advance, and then fax to you the pre-approval letter, of course,
Free of Charge! This will facilitate you to get Vietnam Visa stamp
from the Embassy in your country in a very shorter time - generally
within 2-3 days (Submit this pre-approval letter with the signed
application form, Passport, 2-3 photos, and visa fees).
2. Getting Vietnam Visa at the
Airport.
The most important document that you need to have before travel is
the special pre-approval letter to authorize visa upon arrival at
the airport in Vietnam. We are able to provide this pre-approval
letter if the tour was booked with us (min. 3 days). Extension of
your own stay is possible.
NOTE:
For our clients, we will provide this special pre-approval letter,
(Free of Charge! if you book tour through us), however, you will
need to pay USD 25 per person to the immigration for the visa stamp
fee upon arrival. This is highly recommended as it is time-saving -
you do not have to travel at least twice to the embassy. It takes us
at least 5 working days to process this letter. (You can find
specific procedures at Vietnam Visa Procedure)
VISA FEES
Single Entry Tourist Visa: USD 25
Multiple Entries: USD 40 - USD 100
Note: Although the official
rates announced by Vietnam Authority are posted as above, we
experienced that these rates are quite inconsistent and might be
varied in different country. For more specific fees, you can call to
the Vietnam Embassy or Consulate in your country.
VISA VALIDITY
Vietnam Visa only valid for a single 30-days stay. It specifies your
arrival and departure dates. Therefore, you should plan your travel
schedule well in advance as, for example, if you arrive 10 days
later than your specified arrival date, you will be able to stay in
Vietnam only for 20 days. If you wish to stay longer than 30 days
then you will need you leave the country and then enter again in
order to extend your visa.
