5. How to apply
- Apply online for your approval letter. This document unlocks your entry to Vietnam. Simply fill out the form online and submit it.
- Pay the service fee. Make your payment online to confirm your application and secure your approval letter.
- Receive your approval letter and print it. Once approved, download the letter and print it out for presentation at the airport. Additionally, prepare the following:
- A completed Vietnamese visa application form (entry-and-exit application form)
- Two passport-sized photos (4x6cm)
- Your valid passport
- Cash for the visa stamping fee
- Get your visa stamped upon arrival. At the "Landing VISA (VOA)" counter in any major Vietnamese airport, present all your prepared documents to the immigration officer. They will then stamp your passport with your official visa, granting you entry into Vietnam.
Note:
Unlike Cambodia, Thailand, or Laos where visas can be obtained directly at land borders, Vietnam's visa on arrival requires pre-approval. This means you must obtain a visa approval letter before arriving at a Vietnamese airport, where you will then have your visa stamped onto your passport.
Furthermore, the Vietnam visa on arrival is only valid for air travel. If you're entering Vietnam by cruise or land, a full visa obtained in advance is necessary.
Here are some additional important points to remember:
- Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date.
- Children with their own passports are charged the same visa fee as adults.
- There is no official website for the Vietnam visa on arrival service. All websites offering approval letters are operated by private agencies. Be wary of websites using misleading organizational internet domain extensions like ".org" or ".gov."
By understanding these requirements, you can ensure a smooth and hassle-free entry into Vietnam.
