1. What is “entry and exit form”?
Those clients who are approved to have visa at Vietnam airports through www.Vietnam-Visa.com will receive the “entry and exit form”. This form requires your information about your entry and exit Vietnam.
Normally, this form is done on checking in Vietnam airport. However, with an aim to save your time at Vietnam airport, we would like to send this form to customer beforehand to fill out and glue a passport-sized photo on it.
On the bottom of the ‘Application for Entry and Exit Vietnam’ form, it states that you should: “Please, fill in two forms (attaching two latest photos, in 4 x 6 cm size, with a face straight forward) submit one form to the Vietnamese visa issuing office, or consulate, and the other to the frontier police post upon your arrival”.
However, for visa on arrival, you only need to fill in the entry and exit form (1 form) before you get to Vietnam.
