Visitors going to Vietnam must show a valid Vietnam visa before being allowed into the country. A visa may be requested from a Vietnamese embassy near you, or may be sourced through a reliable travel agency.
Compared to other Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam is a tougher nut to crack where visas are concerned. The rules and costs vary widely depending on the issuing embassy or consulate.
The Bangkok embassy, for example, can take your payment and process your visa on the very same day charging 1000 Baht (US$50 in its dollar equivalent; no other currency is accepted).The San Francisco consulate takes five days and $65 to do the same thing.
A VISA to Vietnam can be applied for by mail or in person at the Embassy of Vietnam in Bangkok (Thailand) as early as six months prior to the date of travel. Like in most other nations, if you are stay or reside in Bangkok (Thailand), there are two ways to apply for Vietnam visa: Visa on arrival and visa code - just clickhere for more details.
Some important notes should be kept in mind when you get Visa at Vietnam Embassy in Bangkok as follow:
According to the newly updated information from Vietnam Immigration Department (A18), 6-month visa (single/multiple) has not been issued since August 24, 2009. Vietnam Immigration only issues 3-month visa (single/multiple) as the longest one. Thus, instead of applying for 6-month visa, clients should apply for 3-month visa (as a longest one up to now). You only need to access our website at www.Vietnam-Visa .com and click 3months (single/multiple) visa in the online application form. Any questions about this can be sent to:
Firstly, you can apply Visa directly at the Vietnam embassy or Consulates in the country you are living or staying in. The stamping fees for getting the visa code do vary depending upon the country (normally, upward $50/pax).
Secondly, by using our service, you can get your Vietnam visa entry conveniently. We will help you to apply visa code through the Vietnam Immigration Office then, they will send your visa approval code directly to The Vietnam Embassy or Vietnam Consulate in the country you are living or staying in where you just bring your passport to receive the visa to entry to Vietnam (You should go to the Embassy after receiving our approval code from us 2 days later because Vietnam Embassy/Consulate needs time to check your information with the Vietnam Immigration Department). The service fee will be online paid us to progress the approval code. The stamping fee will be paid at the Embassy directly to get your stamp! This fee will be different in each country.
In some countries as China, Laos, Cambodia, the process of getting a visa code is very quick and convenient. Therefore, we suggest that you should go there by yourself to pick up the visa code. In this case, you do not have to pay the service fee any more, just only stamping fee.
To avoid time - consume and inconvenience, if you travel by air, you should apply for VISA ON ARRIVAL that can allow you to get the visa stamped straight away at the Vietnam airports!
