    What do I need to send to the Vietnam embassy to get my letter of approval???

  • By NhungVNB, November 11, 2008 @ 12:57 pm

    ANSWER to Richarson:
    1. How long is a visa in Vietnam?
    It depends on how long you would stay in Vietnam. Normally, there are 4 types of visa duration in VN: 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year (special type). For eg., if you gonna stay in VN for, say, 20 days, you have to apply for 1-month visa (single or multiple).

    2. Apply for 10 year expiry visa to enter Vietnam?
    For a 10-YEAR STAY, no entry visa can allow applicants to stay that long (even when extending, only one-month more is added). So you have to contact the Vietnamese Government (Vietnam Immigration Dept) directly to specially ask for such a special long-stay permission. (They might or might not allow; it depends on your particular case)

    3. Can I arrival after my requested date of entry online Vietnam visa?
    Yes. (But you have to leave on the right date cited on the visa)

    4. How can I extend visa in Vietnam???
    You can extend your visa by getting to the Vietnam Immigration Dept in Vietnam in person with your passport before your visa expiry date. You will get the answer after around 5 days. The fee is from 10-100 USD depending upon your particular type of visa.

    5. What do I need to send to the Vietnam embassy to get my letter of approval???
    To apply for a visa to Vietnam at Vietnam Embassy in your country, you have to submit your Passport (valid 6 months), application form (filled out), 2 photos (2×2in), visa fee, and pre-paid return envelope (in case you submit by mail carriage). Please note that you require an Approval Letter (for which you may have to pay some more fee). The processing time might be about 5-7 days.
    You can also contact us at http://www.vietnam-visa.com to get a Vietnam Visa approval letter.
    There’s also another quicker way to apply for a Vietnam visa, that is, selecting Visa on Arrival (to be collected on arrival at Vietnam International airport) by going online with us at http://www.vietnam-visa.com . You can get your visa approval letter after only 2 or 3 days (normal) and 1 day (urgent). For more details, please feel free to contact us. Thanks and Best Regards!

    what is the best way to get a visa to vietnam?

  • By admin, November 12, 2008 @ 5:52 pm

    ANSWER to Philip J:
    We don’t know how long you gonna stay in Vietnam, yet, in any case, the fastest and easiest way to get a visa to Vietnam is applying online for a Visa on Arrival. You will get your Visa Approval Letter after 2-3 working days (normal) or 1 working day (urgent). The only thing you have to do is to fill in this secure online form at https://secure.vietnam-visa.com/apply.html, pay the fee, and get your approval letter after 2-3 days. There’ll be some mails to instruct you how to use the approval letter later on.
    The other way is to get normal Vietnam entry visa (to be received before traveling) directly at Vietnam Embassy in your country. This takes time (around 4-10 days) and requires many procedures. So the former is better! Tks and Best Regards!

    I’m Australia passport holder, do i need to apply visa to enter Vietnam as a tourist ?

  • By admin, November 28, 2008 @ 9:29 am

    ANSWER to Molly:
    Australian passport holders do need a tourist visa to enter Vietnam as a tourist. To know how to get Vietnam Visa from Australia, please read here http://www.vietnam-visa.com/blog/get-vietnam-visa-in-australia
    Good luck!

  • By romsie, December 7, 2008 @ 10:20 pm

    how about if you work there and have working permit?

  • By romsie, December 7, 2008 @ 10:22 pm

    how about if you work there and no work permit? what the consolate do to the people

  • By admin, December 10, 2008 @ 5:36 pm

    ANSWER to Romsie:
    In any case you always need a visa to Vietnam. If you have a work permit, your office in Vietnam who will work with you here will get a visa for you, and surely you can get a long-term visa.
    If you do not have a work permit, you have to apply for a tourist visa. Good luck!

  • By Ashton Fernandes, December 19, 2008 @ 10:47 am

    I plan to visit Vietnam in January’09 and May’09, as I have vacations during these months, can I apply for a 6 months Multiple entry Visa?

  • By Dominic, January 6, 2009 @ 8:48 am

    Hi, I am Canadian citizen, currently living in China (Nanning) on a 1-year resident permit. I plan to visit Vietnam during spring festival. Should I get a visa from Nanning before I go?

  • By admin, January 9, 2009 @ 3:20 pm

    ANSWER to Fernandes,

    We are very pleased to receive your email with the very good news that you like our service at http://www.vietnam-visa.com. We do hope that you have had a great time in Vietnam, and long to serve you more in the future!

  • By admin, January 9, 2009 @ 3:26 pm

    ANSWER to Dominic,

    In your case, we suggest you apply for a visa code at http://www.vietnam-visa.com, and use it to pick up your visa at the Embassy in Beijing, or the Consulate in Guangzhou, since there’s no Vietnamese consulate in Nanning. Click here http://www.vietnam-visa.com to apply for the visa code.

    Of if you gonna travel by air, you’d be best to apply for a visa on arrival (to pick up visa at arrival airport). Apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com!

    Good luck!

  • By Alie Smith, January 14, 2009 @ 12:03 am

    I will probably be travelling into Vietnam by bus from Nanning to Hanoi. Can I get a visa when I get off the bus if I have applied on line first and received my approval letter? If not what is the best way to get the visa?

    Thanks

    Alice

  • By admin, January 15, 2009 @ 4:40 pm

    ANSWER to Alie Smith:

    Visa on arrival is only applied for those who travel by air to Vietnam. If you go by bus, the only way to enter Vietnam is to get a visa before hand at the Vietnam Embassy/Consulate in your country.

    You could still apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com for a visa code. After 1 or 2 days (from payment), you will receive it via email. You will wait about 2 days more (except weekend days) to print it out and bring it to the Embassy/Consulate to ask for the visa to be stamped onto your passport (pay some stamping fee, about some tens of US dollars). Remember to call us right away in case the Embassy has not received the fax of your case from Vietnam Immigration! Good luck!

  • By Chloe, January 25, 2009 @ 9:49 am

    I arrived in Vietnam early January with a valid Australian passport and a Vietnam Visa issued to me in Australia. Due to further travel plans I have been issued (at the Australian Consulate in Ho Chi Mien) a new Australian passport (of longer duration). In order to leave Vietnam next week, is my Vietnam Visa in original passport still valid? If not I am very concerned as to how to obtain another with all the public holidays .

  • By Forough, January 27, 2009 @ 7:58 pm

    Hi, I am Iranian, currently living in Malaysia and have student visa. I plan to visit Vietnam on april. Should I get a visa from kuala lumpur before I go?

  • By Thomas Cardy, January 30, 2009 @ 6:19 pm

    Hi,

    I am traveling to Beijing on Wednesday 4th February and looking to spend 3 weeks in China and then cross the border to Vietnam. I would like to apply for a 14 or 30day Visa (from the 23rd February). I only plan to spend a week in Vietnam before I move onto Cambodia.

    Would it be possible to acquire a tourist visa at the Vietnamese Embassy in Beijing? If so could you inform me of what I would need (application form, passport photo etc) and also how much time to allow for processing a visa.

    Many thanks for your time,

  • By dannyc, February 2, 2009 @ 2:01 pm

    Do vietnamese passpost need to apply for a netherland visa to enter netherland?

  • By Alan Foos, February 9, 2009 @ 8:18 pm

    I understand I can teach privately in Vietnam, but can I get a long term visa (1 year) renewable without a sponsor to do that? Or a work permit w/o a sponsor? Thanks…

  • By V, February 14, 2009 @ 1:48 pm

    Is it at all possible to enter Vietnam overland from China and get a visa on arrival？Or should i
    have applied for one beforehand?

  • By admin, February 17, 2009 @ 11:34 am

    Answer to Ja.
    The Vietnam Government only agree to issue visa for tourist who is holding at least 6 months validity passport. In your specific case, you should come to the Immigration in your country to renew your passport. The process may take from 2-3 days to 10 days.

  • By admin, February 17, 2009 @ 11:35 am

    Answer to Chloe:
    There are two kinds of date: arrival date and registered date. The arrival date is the date you will come to Vietnam while registered date is the date cited on your visa. You can come later but no sooner than the registered date. For instance, if your registered date cited on the visa is March 7, it means you can come later than March 7 Jan but no sooner than March 7 as well as leave sooner but no later than the leaving date. Thus, it’s suitable for you to come to Vietnam on March 8.Thus, your Vietnam Visa in original passport still valid. You should contact with embassy before the traditional new year because I am afraid that all offices in Vietnam close in that days. Good luck!

  • By admin, February 17, 2009 @ 11:37 am

    Answer to Forough:
    We are very sorry to inform that, at present, the Vietnamese Government do not accept entry for citizens from some nations including yours. This might be due to some political matters, which are really out of our expectation.
    We are sorry that we - as a travel agency - cannot do anything now to help you at present. We suggest you contact directly with the Vietnam Immigration for your specific case. Please see the below for contact of the Vietnam Immigration Dept for direct contacting:
    Vietnam Immigration Department (A18)
    Address: 40A Hang Bai Str., Hanoi, Vietnam
    Tel: 844-38257941
    We do hope that in the near future, things will change and we will have chances to welcome you to Vietnam and to serve you at our best! Regards!

    Answer to Luong Thi Thuy Hang

    Vietnamese passport holders are required to get a visa to enter Netherlands if your stay is less than 3 months.

  • By admin, February 17, 2009 @ 11:52 am

    Answer to Alan Foos.

    Of course, you can renew you visa 1 year by yourself. Yet, please kindly make sure that you only can renew if you are staying in Vietnam already. Please see the below for contact of the Vietnam Immigration Dept for direct contacting:

  • By admin, February 17, 2009 @ 11:56 am

    Answer to V:

    If you enter Vietnam by land from China, you are suggested to apply for visa code as visa on arrival only allow you to get your visa stamped in Vietnam airports (it means you have to go by air). You can directly apply your visa code in your country or in China or apply though us.

  • By admin, February 17, 2009 @ 12:00 pm

    Answer to Thomas Cardy:
    You should apply for visa code in our website at http://www.vietnam-visa.com to pick up visa in Vietnam Embassy in Beijing - China.If you apply for urgent service, it takes only 1 days if you apply for normal service, it takes from 2 to 3 days (except for Saturday and Sunday) to get the visa code. All you should do as follows:
    • Get the visa code printed
    • Prepare 02 passport-sized pictures (4*6cm)
    • Bring the Visa Code + 02 passport pictures + Your passport to the Vietnam Embassy in your area to get your visa stamped
    Regards!

  • By admin, February 17, 2009 @ 12:03 pm

    Answer to Dannyc:
    We are very sorry to inform that you must have at least months left on your Uk passport until it expires despite your time in Vietnam is short or long and there is no ways for you to collect the visa. Please be so kind to renew your passport and then do the visa. Welcome you to Vietnam with best regards!

  • By Tan, February 17, 2009 @ 2:24 pm

  • By Liam French, February 21, 2009 @ 11:33 am

    Do I need proof of the date that I am leaving Vietnam before my visa expires? eg/ a return plane ticket to Bangkok
    I am planning on buying a one-way ticket to Ho Chi Minh City AFTER I get my vietnam visa. Flying to HCMC, taking trains north to Hanoi then buying a one-way ticket back to Bangkok once I am ready to leave (within one month). Is this o.k?

    Liam

  • By admin, March 9, 2009 @ 11:52 am

    Answer to Tan,

    If you are holding Malaysian passport (Malaysian nationality), you are visa - exempted to Vietnam less than 30 days. It means you can enter Vietnam without visa during 30 days.
    Regards!

  • By admin, March 9, 2009 @ 12:00 pm

    Answer to Geoff,

    There are two kinds of Visa - visa on arrival and Visa code.
    You should apply for visa on arrival if you enter Vietnam by air, single visa for one entry and multiple visa for multiple entry. If you are planning to stay in Vietnam for about 5 days you should apply for Visa on arrival 1 month single.

    In case you enter Vietnam by land, you are suggested to apply for visa code (getting your visa code at the Vietnam Embassy and Consulate in your country). We will send your approval code to the Embassy in your country and you will come there to get your visa stamped. Yet, visa code will require time and cause you inconvenient!

    If you go by air, Visa on arrival would be best!

    Regards!

  • By admin, March 9, 2009 @ 12:15 pm

    Answer to Liam,

    You do not need to show any evidence that you will leave Vietnam before your expired date cited on your visa. If you are having Visa On arrival, the Vietnam Immigration Officer will check your passport or put a mark on your visa to show that your time in Vietnam is over.

    when you check in at the border (if you used visa code), your passport which is attached with your visa will be carefully checked. It is not a serious matter!

  • By Tung, March 19, 2009 @ 9:54 pm

    Hi

    I would like to have both Canadian and Vietnamese citizenship

    thank you

  • By admin, March 20, 2009 @ 2:20 pm

    Answer to Tung,
    As your case related to passport, we suggest that you should contact to the place that issued the passport for you. From the technical point of view, they will answer you more detailed as we only focus on visa only.

  • By Craig, March 24, 2009 @ 9:25 pm

    Do I need a Vietnam visa if I am only changing planes in Vietnam? Final destination is Laos.

  • By admin, March 25, 2009 @ 11:42 am

    Answer to Craig,
    If you only transit in Vietnam for few hours before taking another flight to other country,there are two cases for you:
    - If you only stay in the waiting room of the Vietnam airport without going out, you do not need a Vietnam visa.
    - If you transit in Vietnam but you will go out of the airport for relaxing before taking the new flight, you will need a Vietnam visa.

  • By Mark, March 25, 2009 @ 9:24 pm

    There is no Vietnam embassy in my country Nigeria,I travelling to work there but I will be going with my wife and two children,I learnt I can only get a single entry on arrival visa,how do I change it to multiple entry once I get in?

  • By admin, March 26, 2009 @ 11:35 am

    Answer to Mark,

    If you are holding the Nigerian nationality, we are afraid to say that you should directly contact the Vietnam Immigration Office in Vietnam to ask for your case as progressing visa for you is not easy for us.

    Vietnam Immigration Department (A18)
    Address: 40A Hang Bai Str., Hanoi, Vietnam
    Tel: 84-04.382.57941.

    Once you get a single visa,there is no way to change to multiple one. In your specific case, you should apply for new one.

  • By michael T, March 26, 2009 @ 5:38 pm

    Can i change my 1 month tourist visa for Vietnam into a business/ working one whilst remaining in vietnam, as a teaching opportunity has arisen and i am unsure of my options.
    Thanks in advance…

  • By admin, March 27, 2009 @ 10:16 am

    Dear Michael T,

    There is no considerable difference between tourism visa and business visa. You do not need to much worry about that. Yet, as far as we understand, you are in Vietnam right now, for secure feelings, you can apply for new business visa. Personally talking, it is not so necessary.

  • By Craig, March 31, 2009 @ 1:41 am

    I am traveling to Laos from Hong Kong via plane with a 2 hour stopover in Hanoi. If there is an issue and we were to miss our connecting flight in Hanoi. Would it be possible to obtain a short term visa to stay in Hanoi overnight and take the next day flight to Laos?

  • By admin, April 1, 2009 @ 3:52 pm

    Answer to Craig,

    If you just transit in Vietnam airports without going out, you do not need a visa. Yet, if you go out, even 1 days, you are required to have a Vietnam visa.

  • By admin, April 1, 2009 @ 3:57 pm

    Hi,

    I fly out to Bankok in May for 4 months before going onto Australia and will at some point be visiting Vietnam for a couple of weeks. If I apply for a visa on arrival will it be valid from the date I arrive in Vietnam or will I have to specify dates before hand, as I don’t know what they’ll be as yet?

    Thanks

  • By admin, April 9, 2009 @ 11:37 am

    Answer to Jess:

    We would like to answer your question as follows:
    There are two kinds of date: arrival date and registered date. The arrival date is the date you will come to Vietnam while registered date is the date cited on your visa. You can enter Vietnam 1 day earlier than the arrival date cited on the visa and 1 day later than the departure date cited on the visa. For instance, if your registered date cited on the visa is March 7, it means you can come to Vietnam later than March 7or you can come on March 6 as the earliest.
    We hope that the information above is clear and helpful for you!

    I am very grateful that you guys have made the effort to answer the very important questions which travellers to Vietnam have. Now my question is, I am an iranian born Canadian Citizen. would I be able to travel and obtain visa to Vietnam?

    Many thanks

    Andrew Barouei

  • By admin, April 16, 2009 @ 11:01 am

    Answer to Andrew,
    If you are holding the Iran passport, you should come in person to the Vietnam Embassy and Consulate in Iran/Canada to ask for your visa. If you are holding the Canada passport, you can pick up your visa on arrival at Vietnam airports. Visa on arrival is very easy and convenient for you!

  • By Riki Pavelec, April 21, 2009 @ 12:42 am

    I have a 1 year work visa for Vietnam. I wish to renew it. However, I no longer employed by a Vietnamese company. If I wish to renew, can I just pay fees or must I show proof of employment with a new Sponsorship letter from a VN employer?

  • By admin, April 21, 2009 @ 10:37 am

    Answer to Jon,

    If you intend to enter Vietnam on 22nd, you should apply for super urgent service (plus $25 with normal service)which only take the Vietnam Immigration Office a half of a day to complete your visa. This kind of service will not appear on our site as it is only suggested in a emergency case like yours. Please send your super urgent service fee by logging in PayPal and pay us directly at order@vietnam-visa.com. Or you can pay through Xoom or Western Union instead. Right after receiving your payment, we will progress the visa for you and you will receive it at 12noon Vietnamese hours GMT+7 22nd April 2009 as latest.

  • By admin, April 21, 2009 @ 10:47 am

    Answer to Riki Pavelec,

    If you are holding a 1 year visa, you should come to a nearest Vietnamese travel agency to ask for renewing. You just pay the renew fee and wait from a week to 10 days. Normally, you can renew your 1 year visa several times and the fee would be $225. You should contact http://www.huongviettravel.com for more details.

    hi, i am a filipino and i am in indonesia at present. 2 months ago i was there in vietnam. i know that for ASEAN countries, visa is not required if the length of stay is less than 1 month. my question is, if i enter vietnam (without visa) and i’m going to extend my stay in vietnam for another 1 month, do i need to have a visa?

    if yes, then what are the requirments for visa processing and what kind of visa should i get? where in indonessia can i process it? how long will it take to process it after sending the requirements?

    i only need not more than 2 months of stay in vietnam since i’ll be going to singapore.

    If you want to stay in Vietnam 1 month more, you are required to get a 1 month Vietnam visa. If you want to stay more than 1 month, you will need a 3 months visa.

    You can visit http://www.vietnam-visa.com to apply for a new visa. We will send the done visa approval letter to you after 2-3 days (normal service) and within 1 day (urgent service).

    Then, we will have many instructions to carefully guide you for you to be confident at Vietnam airport.

    Hi there. I am a uk citizen planning to enter vietnam overland from china. I am leaving to go on a world trip in july and anticipate reaching vietnam by october- but do not know any exact date yet. Can i, as a uk national, apply for a vietnam visa at the vietnamese consulate in hong kong? and would 3 working days in hong kong be enough time to get this done?

  • By admin, May 11, 2009 @ 3:20 pm

    Answer to Rob,
    As a UK citizen, you can apply for Vietnam visa. There are two ways to get Vietnam Visa from Hong Kong as follows:

    1. Get Vietnam Visa through Vietnam Consulate in Hong Kong
    Contact Vietnam Consulate in Hong Kong:

    Address: 15/F, Great Smart Tower, 230 Wan Chai Road
    Wan Chai, Hongkong
    Tel: (852) 2591 4517 / 2591 4510
    Fax: (852) 2591 4524 / 2591-4539

    How to get there? You go to Wan Chai road, you will see Great Smart Tower Building. Enter from Canal Road East and it is not far from there.

    2. Get Vietnam Visa on arrival via online service

    The considered quicker and easier way to get Visa to Vietnam from Hong Kong is to apply online for a Visa on Arrival. However, this method is applicable to air travel only.

    Answer to Samal,

    The Vietnam Immigration Department suggest that it would be quicker for you to directly come to Vietnam Embassy in your country, to pick up your visa. Your passport and information will be carefully checked in advance by them to avoid any troubles when you come to Vietnam.

    We are sorry that we - as a travel agency - cannot do anything now to help you at present. We suggest you contact directly with the Vietnam Immigration for your specific case.

    Hi I plan to directly apply for visas on behalf of my family to the Vietnamese Embassy in Hong Kong where I live. Can you please confirm the price of a visa for a 5 week visit to Vietnam. Please note that we intend to fly into Vietnam and continue immediately on a flight to Cambodia for a week returning to Vietnam for the full 5 weeks. Any problems with this? Thanks.

  • By admin, June 8, 2009 @ 11:04 am

    Answer to Barry,

    First of all, please kindly confirm us the followings:
    -How long you will stay at the Vietnam airport? You just transit at the Vietnam airport before flying to Cambodia or you will stay in Vietnam for few days?
    -When you enter Vietnam from Cambodia, will you enter Vietnam by air or by land?

    Please kindly forward all your questions and answers to our email : support@vietnam-visa.com. We will take care of your case better!

  • By Alejandro Ordonez, June 8, 2009 @ 11:58 am

    Hi im a colombian citizen and i will be travelling to vietnam in 2 weeks, first i will be in hong kong for 5 days, is it possible to get the visa from the vietnamese consulate in hong kong? if so, do i need the visa code? and how long will it take for me to get the visa stamped on my passport.
    thank you very much

  • By Alejandro Ordonez, June 8, 2009 @ 11:59 am

    sorry, i didnt mention that i plan on going to vietnam by land from nanning.

  • By admin, June 8, 2009 @ 1:59 pm

    Answer to Alejandro Ordonez,

    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.

  • By Barry, June 8, 2009 @ 4:48 pm

    Ok. We will be in transit going through Ho Chi Minh to Cambodia and flying back into Vietnam.
    Also is it easier to apply for an extension to the 30 day Vietnam visa once you are in Vietnam than apply online here in Hong Kong or can I not do that in Hong Kong anyway? And if I can what is the cost difference?
    Regards and thanks for your prompt reply!
    Barry

  • By admin, June 11, 2009 @ 10:27 am

    Answer to Barry,

    If you enter Vietnam by air, you should apply for visa 3 months multiple. This kind of visa will let you enter and exit Vietnam many times within 3 months. You can enter Vietnam whenever you want in 3 months.

    If you want to extend your visa, you must extend it in Vietnam, not in Hongkong. Yet, in order to do that, you must have a visa already and then, you extend it.In Hongkong, you can only pick up your visa code in Vietnam Embassy. The fee for getting the visa code varies between countries so we are impossible to cover all.

    Yet, you should apply for visa on arrival 3 months. If you just transit Vietnam for the first time and do not go out the waiting room of the Vietnam airport, you do not need a Vietnam Visa.

  • By Evelien, June 16, 2009 @ 10:13 pm

    Hello, thanks for your helpful site!

    I have the following question: I will be staying in Vietnam on a tourist visa in July. I am a Dutch citizen and can easily get a Vietnam visa here in Cambodia where I am right now. After spending this month in Vietnam, I plan to extend the visa for the month of August because my boyfriend will come to visit me to travel in Vietnam together for 3 to 4 weeks.

    My boyfriend is a Korean. I have understood that citizens of South Korea do not need a visa for Vietnam, they can stay in the country without visa for 15 days.

    However, we want to travel longer than 15 days. Question is: should he get a Vietnam 30 day tourist visa before entering the country, or can he extend the 15 days when he is already in Vietnam? How long would that take, and how much does it cost?

    Given the fact that we will be traveling and do not want to be stuck in a city for a long time waiting for his passport to come back, would it overall be more convenient for him to just get a normal 30 day tourist visa to begin with? Thanks!

  • By admin, June 17, 2009 @ 11:46 am

    Answer to Evelien,

    If you enter Vietnam by air, you and your friend should apply for visa 1 month. Your guy does not need Vietnam visa for 15 days visits, yet, he should apply a visa for 1 month because the process of getting the visa extend is long and the service fee for extending is normally high.

    What you need to do is very simple as follows:

    -You apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com
    -Settle the payment (service fee) as per instructions
    - Receive your visa approval letter after 1working day (urgent service), and 2 or 3 working days (normal service) via email
    - You print the letter out and bring it together with your photos + passport +some dollars pay the Vietnam Immigration Officer to get your visa stamped in arrival airport in Vietnam and pick up your visa there.
    And now, you are ready to enter Vietnam!

    There are two kinds of fees: service fee and stamping fee.
    - Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to proceed the visa for you.
    - Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.

    If you enter Vietnam by land, you should apply the visa code by yourself at the Vietnam Embassy in Cambodia. You do not need to apply through our service as the process of getting the visa there is quick!

    Im Vietnamese,i have the CARD de SEJOUR from France.Do i need to get visas both countries Vietnam-France to go in and out while my card is value??

  • By admin, July 10, 2009 @ 9:18 am

    Answer to Van,
    If you are Vietnamese with Vietnamese passport, you don’t need visa to come to Vietnam.

    If you are Vietnamese overseas with different nationality shown in your passport (like French, Austrian, US…), you are offered visa exemption to enter Vietnam by the Vietnamese Government. Please kindly click here for detailed guidelines http://mienthithucvk.mofa.gov.vn/.
    However, if you would like to avoid all the procedures at the Embassy, and require a visa to Vietnam quickly, we will get your visa on arrival done upon your request (via email or phone)! And it will be completed after 2 working days from your request!
    In case you are Vietnamese live in France, Australia, US… with green card (card de sejour), you are required visa to come to Vietnam. Please scan it and send us by email so we can do the visa for you.
    Regards,

  • By Van, July 22, 2009 @ 12:08 am

  • By Jean, July 31, 2009 @ 8:44 am

    I recently received a 6-month single-entry visa through VN embassy. I plan to come to Vietnam for September and October, possibly longer. If I leave, then need to return before the 6-month period is over, will the embassy issue me a new visa? Or do I need to wait until the 6-month visa is over?

  • By admin, August 5, 2009 @ 10:35 am

    Answer to Jean,

    In your case, Vietnam Embassy will issue a new visa for you. However, we suggest if you enter and exit Vietnam many times, that you should apply for 6-month multiple visa. It’s cheaper and more convenient for you!

    Regards!

  • By Rodrigo, August 5, 2009 @ 9:41 pm

    Hello
    My visa has been issued for the period between 21st august to 4th september. Unfortunately, I could only get to Vietnam on 2nd september, which would leave me not much time to enjoy. Is there a way to change the validity of my visa on arrival?

  • By admin, August 10, 2009 @ 11:29 am

    Answer to Rodrigo,
    Normally, Vietnam Immigration Dept usually issues the Visa for clients in 1 month. For example, from 21 August to 21 September. In your case, you should double check your visa. If it only valid from 21 August to 4 September, you can extend your visa when you are in Vietnam or you can renew your visa with the new arrival date and exit day.

    Best regards.

  • By Alberto, September 3, 2009 @ 12:08 pm

    Hi,
    My wife and I will be traveling to Vietnam in the next couple of days. We will arrive from China, and will be crossing to Vietnam through the Lao Cai border. We both already have a visa to Vietnam that we requested in Canada (country where we live) and we are traveling with a Mexican and a Colombian passport respectively.
    My question is, Does the visa need to say which crossing will we be using? We have red in a couple of books that it is neccesary that the visa states which crossing we will use. The form that we submitted in Canada when we requested our visas stated that we will cross to Vietnam through Lao Cai. But the visas in our passports does not have that information printed anywhere.
    Thank you for your help.
    Alberto

  • By admin, September 3, 2009 @ 4:23 pm

    To Alberto,
    There are two ways you can get the visa code.
    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.
    Many thanks and best regards!

    Please be kindly informed that if you just transit to Vietnam, you do not need a visa to Vietnam. You need to make sure you do not go out of transition area.

  • By admin, November 20, 2009 @ 4:48 pm

    To Sam
    Due to some diplomatic issues between the two countries Vietnam and Lebanon, you are suggested to directly come to Vietnam Embassy in your country, to pick up your visa. Your passport and information will be carefully checked in advance by them to avoid any troubles when you come to Vietnam.

    We are sorry that we - as a travel agency - cannot do anything now to help you at present. We suggest you contact directly with the Vietnam Immigration for your specific case. Please see the below for contact of the Vietnam Immigration Dept for direct contacting:

    Vietnam Immigration Department (A18)
    Address: 40A Hang Bai Str., Hanoi, Vietnam
    Tel: 84-(0)4-38257941

    We do hope that in the near future, things will change and we will have chances to welcome you to Vietnam and to serve you at our best!

    Many thanks and Best Regards,
    Sammy Bui

    Hello,

    I’m a US citizen, and I received an approved multiple-entry visa for a 1 month stay in Vietnam, but I now need to change the valid dates. Currently, it’s valid from Dec. 11, 2009 - Jan. 11, 2010, however I need it to be valid from Dec. 2, 2009 - Jan 2., 2010 as I plan to go into the country earlier. Since I am traveling through SE Asia and am not in one city for more than a few days at a time, what’s the best (and most convenient) way to update or change the valid dates of my visa? I’m near Chiang Mai in Thailand at this time.

    Thank you,
    Winnie

  • By admin, November 25, 2009 @ 3:57 pm

    To Winnie Wong,
    You can not get to Vietnam on December 2 with your ready-done visa. If you would like to get earlier, you have to request for another visa approval with the arrival date “December 2″,for this case, you can go to Vietnam Embassy in Bangkok-Thailand in person to pick up your visa or apply online for visa on arrival (picked up at Vietnam airport)
    Kindly regards,
    Sammy Bui

    Hello,

    I am a French citizen working in HCM. My visa expires on December 15th and I am leaving for a 10 day vacation abroad on December 22nd. Can I stay 7 days w/out a visa? What do I risk?
    Or is there a way to get a visa in express?

    Thank you

  • By admin, December 9, 2009 @ 2:37 pm

    Dear Jess,
    You should get visa extension in case you want to stay longer in Vietnam. You can meet some problem with Vietnam Immigration Officer when you check in at Vietnam airport. For visa extension, you can contact with Travel Agencies in Vietnam.
    Kindly regards,

    Hi Bella Bui, I have a question that needs immediate attention. I have a visa which expires 2 days before my flight to Bangkok. Will I have to pay a fine at the airport for my visa being expired. Most tourist agencies say that I will have to pay the 1 month visa extension of $25-30 US. If you could please offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the help. Jeff

  • By Jen, December 15, 2009 @ 8:16 pm

    I am traveling through Hanoi to a connecting flight, however, the flights are with different airline companies. Is it possible to pick up checked luggage and check-in with the other airline without leaving the transitional area? Will i have to apply for a multiple entry visa once i arrive (as i have already come and gone on my single entry visa)?

    Thanks for you insights!

    We would like to know about the Work visa/Work permit in Vietnam.
    If we get employed in a company with a work permit, can we work in another company with the same permit or do we have to apply for another permit?

    Sir,
    I am holding passport of the Turkish Republic but I am a resident of Japan as my wife is Japanese and I have been living here since 1981.
    In the recent years, I visited Vietnam many times to make a market research for my company as i work for a Japanese machine manufacturer. We are intending to open a representative office in HCM City and we have prepared all the documents. But when I applied for visa to the Vietnam Consulate in Osaka, my visa was rejected for no reason. I applied again through a Japanese travel agency and their branch office in HCM City, it was rejected again.
    I would like to get a 2 or 3 month single business or tourist visa. I have to go to the Department of Industry and Trade in HCM City to present our documents and get Representative Office permit.
    Kindly reply and inform me if you can obtain a visa for my visit to Vietnam.
    I await your prompt attention.
    Thank you.

  • By admin, March 19, 2010 @ 10:30 am

    To Amy,

    For visa on arrival,after you get the visa approval letter, you need to print it out and bring with you when you get to Vietnam. With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 photos, exit and entry form and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Immigration Counter at Vietnam airport. Normally, after landing off Vietnam, you need to wait 15-20 minutes to check your information and stamp your visa.

    We have sent him money via Western Union for the past 12 months but can no longer afford to to do this.

    I believe he may have a drugs problem which is why he is no longer working.

    I have been in touch via a mutual contact that tells me he is wanting to get back to the UK

I have called travel agencies and they are quoting me for a price of $220 US dollars to do this. Too much considering it only cost me $30 US dollars to get a visa into Vietnam when I arrived to Vietnam. Your help would be nice.

  • By Michelle, April 19, 2010 @ 4:05 pm

    Apologies re the above question, my brothers Visa expires on 9th May not April.

  • By admin, April 19, 2010 @ 5:04 pm

    To Michelle,
    Your brother can stay in Vietnam until May 9 without any problem. However, when his visa expires, he can meet many difficulties on law on entry and exit as well his current finance.
    If possible, your family should arrange flight ticket fee or taking him back UK before his situation get worse.
    As your brother is UK, so we can not do anything to help him. We can not interfere his visit if his visa is still valid and he does not make criminal record which directly influence on on our country. We just can say that all depends on your family.
    We do hope that you can find the quickest way to take him back home.

    To Tony Ly,
    Visa extension at this time is more complicated and more charge than ever before. To extend 3 months, the fee can be required up to 200USD.

    Of course, getting visa from outside the country is always simpler and quicker than extension while the procedure to lengthen your stay while you are in the country is not simple.

    To H Nguyen,

    Currently, the maximum duration of a visa in Vietnam is 3 months visa only. It means that you can only apply 3 months visa. If you would like to stay longer, you can apply for visa exemption of Vietnamese overseas offered by Vietnam Government, please click here for detailed guidelines http://mienthithucvk.mofa.gov.vn/. Moreover, if you would like to work in Vietnam, you need to have a work permit.

    I am confused. I need to extend my business visa as it expires on May 08. I read on your intro that all I need to do is to go to Immigration here in Hanoi and they will do this. But I read also that extensions can only be done by travel agents. Can you clarify this position. Do I have to use a travel agent or can I go direct to Hang Bia Street??

    Hi! I am currently in Vietnam on a C2 visa, which expires in 1 month. I am teaching at a university here. I have the approval of the people’s committee to stay another year so I must apply for another C2 visa. To apply, must I leave the country and then come back? And if so, must I go back to America to apply through the Vietnam embassy in the U.S. like I did the first time? Thank in advance!

    I would like to inquire on obtaining Vietnam visas for the following countries: Nigeria, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa and Ghana. We are organizing a workshop in Hanoi and we are inviting staff from different countries. Many VN visa online services did not mention most of countries I listed above; could you tell me if your company can help us on this matter? Your guidance would be most appreciated.

  • By Julia, April 27, 2010 @ 11:12 am

    To Anna Nascimento,
    In your case, you still need a visa to Vietnam as only for diplomatic passport holders can be exempted Vietnam Visa. Please double check with your Consulate in Brazil about your case.

    Regards,

  • By Julia, April 27, 2010 @ 11:57 am

    To Jenni,

    Now, there are two options for you:

    1. When your visa is nearly expired, you can extend your visa when you are in Vietnam
    2. You can go out of Vietnam and then come to Vietnam Embassies overseas to apply for a new visa.
    Hope that this information is clear and helpful to you.

    I am completing Vietnam Visa application and place of employment question is on it. Does the embassy want just the name of who I work for with address or just the name of the company or just the address?

  • By Julia, April 29, 2010 @ 10:22 am

    To Slee,

    Please be kindly noted that for India and South Africa, we can process visa approval letter online for them to get visa stamped at Vietnam airport. However, for Nigeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, they need to come to Vietnam Embassy to get their visa.

    Kindly regards,

    I have been on VN for six months and I fly in the morning , my visa finished 6 days ago . Can they stop me flying or can I sort it at the airport ? I’m very worried. I don’t want to return just fly to UK .

  • By Julia, May 6, 2010 @ 3:32 pm

    To IanP,
    In case your visa is expired for 6 days ago, you will pay a big fine for your overstay. You need to extend your visa before you exit Vietnam. At Vietnam airport, Custom will check your information and do not let you exit if your visa is expired for 6 days.

Your guidance would be most appreciated.
    Thank you for your attention

  • By Julia, May 7, 2010 @ 11:54 am

    To Erni,

    Thank you for contacting us!

    Firstly, I would like to give you the instruction on how to have your visa: ( 2 ways)
    1. Normally, you can obtain a visa directly at Vietnam Embassy/Consulate Overseas
    Take your application, passport, a passport-sized photo, and supporting documents (ex: invitation letters, etc) in person to the Embassy or Consulate, where you will be interviewed about the purpose of your visit. You must also pay an application fee and wait in a few days to get the visa. Please note that the application procedures and fees may vary among countries and embassies/consulates.

    2. In case you would like to travel by air: you can apply for Visa on arrival:
    Visa on arrival is only applicable for those traveling by air to Vietnam and your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport. For visa on arrival, you apply online at our website http://www. Vietnam-Visa.com to get visa approval letter after 1 working day (urgent service) or 2-3 working days (normal service). With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 photos and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport.
    Secondly, for Indonesian and Philippines citizens, you are can be exempted Vietnam visa for 30 days.

    Hope that now it is not your concerns!

    Kindly regards,
    Julia Nguyen

  • By Rene, May 10, 2010 @ 10:03 am

    I’m married to a Vietnamese wife and live in Vietnam since a month. At the moment I have a visa exemption, but I can only stay for 90 days in Vietnam and then have to apply for a visa extension or leave the country. I have heard that it is possible now to obtain a 5 year visa (or visa exemption), without applying for a visa extension every 3 month or leaving the country after 90 days . How can I apply for such a visa.

    im a malaysian,i bought a air ticket on 15may on this month and leaving on 15june….So,its exceed the one month travel visa..it is alright to be like that or i need to change my air flight ticket???

  • By admin, May 12, 2010 @ 4:05 pm

    Answer to Ken Ha: Thank you for contacting us!
    Please do not worry about it at all. That duration is considered as 1 month. Thus, you should apply for 1 month entry only and needn’t to change your flight.

    Hope this information will help you.

    I am a US citizen and want to visit an American friend teaching in Hanoi. I’d like to travel throughout Vietnam and Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore over the course of 6 months, with my friend’s place in Hanoi being my “home base.” I know I need a multiple entry visa, but it seems I can only get a 3 month visa currently. Is that correct? Is there any way to get a 6 month visa or extend a 3 month visa so my plans will work? Thanks in advance…

    hi,
    i am from the philippines. we plan to go there on the 22nd of may. do we need to buy a return ticket before we leave manila, or can we just buy it in vietnam? we are thinking about the possibility that we might like to stay there for a longer period if in case things turn out favorable, so we don’t want to waste tickets. we now have tickets mla-sgn, do we need to purchase return tickets here if we intend to stay not more than 21 days?

  • By Chris, May 28, 2010 @ 8:20 am

    Does he need a visa ?
    My son has a vietnamese passport which is less than one year old. He recently became a US citizen and changed his first name to an English name, from Phuc to Phil and now also has a US passport under his new first name. So the question is how does he travel to vietnam ? Which name should he use for his airline ticket, and does he need a visa ? If he buys a ticket under the name phil when he checks in at the US end can he show both his passports and not require a visa even though the first name is different on each passport? And the same when he returns ? Or does he need a vietnam visa/should get one just in case?
    Thank you…

  • By Julia, May 28, 2010 @ 10:06 am

    To Chris,

    Now, there are two options for you:

    In case your son has two valid passports: US and Vietnam passport,he can use Vietnamese passport and his full name shown in Vietnamese passport to enter Vietnam without a visa.

    In case your son has valid US passport but Vietnam passport is abandoned when registering US nationality, he needs to apply for Vietnam visa with US passport and full name in this passport to enter Vietnam.

    If you have any concerns, please contact us!

    Hi,

    I am currently residing in Beijing and planning on going to vietnam. I was thinking of getting my visa online via your website but I realized that you need to obtain your visa at the airport. If I am not flying into the Vietnam airport but instead, coming from one of the neighbouring countries like Laos, will I be able to cross the border w/out the visa on my passport? Or do I need to fly into a Vietnam airport?

  • By CThomas, June 20, 2010 @ 8:48 am

    Like H, I am asking how many times we can extend a visa. I understand that an agency can extend only once, but what is the law or policy? I entered with a 3-month visa and extended it once. Can I extend it again (one more time, for a maximum of two extensions) in Vietnam? Or do I need to leave the country?

  • By Julia, June 21, 2010 @ 5:01 pm

The application will actually be performed online and the service will be pre-arranged by a reputable travel agent. As such, you can be assured that everything is genuine and your passport will be safe. The runner will take your passport, bring it to to the embassy and then return it to you at the place you’re staying.

    We would like to inform that getting visa to Vietnam is quite simple and easy now. There are 2 options for getting Vietnam visa:

    1) If you travel by air to Vietnam, you are kindly advised to apply for a visa on arrival. This is a simpler and easier way than the other.

With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 passport photos at any size and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport.

    Moreover, please be kindly noted that there are two kinds of fees:

    - Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to process the visa approval letter for you.
    - Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.

    Kinds of visa Service fee/pax (USD) Stamping fee/pax (USD)
    Visa on arrival-1 month single $21.25 $25
    Visa on arrival-1 month multiple$26.25 $50
    Visa on arrival-3 months single $35 $25
    Visa on arrival-3 months multiple$40 $50

    2) In case you travel by road, you are suggested to come directly to Vietnamese Embassy/ Consulate where you are living or staying to obtain your Vietnam visa there.

    Hi there,
    I am currently in vietnam on a 3 month tourist visa which i’ve had extended once already for 3 months. I went to extend it again at a travel agent and they said they could do it for one more month then i would have to leave vietnam and make a new visa.
    Then today when i went to pick up my passport they told me they could only extend it for 10 more days and that i would have to go back to my home country (england) first before being able to get a new visa???? Is this really true??
    other people have sad that i just need to leave vietnam for a few days, (say go to thailand or cambodia) then go to an embassy there and make a new 3 month tourist visa!!!

    Obviously the lady telling me i need to go back home before i can get a new visa has got me worried!!!(have no plans to go back for a year or 2) Is there a limit of how many times you can get a tourist visa in a certain length of time?? i find it hard to believe that i actually have to go all the way back to england to be able to come back to vietnam!!
    Many thanks James

    3) can we do visa on arrival with our itinerary or must we apply for one before we leave our home country, Canada?
    This is a summary of our itinearay: we are arriving in Hanoi Airport. From Hanoi, we are flying to Siem Reap, then we board a cruise ship at Tonle Sap Lake and sail to Phnom Penh and make the border crossing to Tan Chau. We sail all the way to Ho Cho Minh City then fly back home from there. The length of our trip is 15 days.

    Please be kindly informed that you wouldn’t like to exit and enter Vietnam every 3 month, you can have your visa extended when it is nearly to 3 month validity. Thus, you do not need to go out of Vietnam during 6 months or more.

    In that case, we will assist you to extend your visa as normal procedure as stated in this following link http://www.vietnam-visa.com/blog/vietnam-visa-extensionrenewal-services/

    Answer to whom it may concern:

    Please be kindly informed that you can not change anything in your done visa.Thus, it is impossible to change your purpose of visa from tourist to business once you find a job here in Vietnam.

    However, as any 3 month single/multiple entries at any purposes will be automatically changed to “business” ones. Therefore, please do not worry if you are holding a 3 month single/multiple entry.

    Hope that this information will release your concerns.

    We have just tried to apply for a visa to Vietnam. However it keeps saying we don’t need it beeing Danish cityzens. That is only s correct, since we have to leave within 15 days. That forces us to book the tickets asap, rather than spending a few days more.So what to do ?

    We would like to getthe visa on email, so we could stay between 15 days and a month.

    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for contacting us!

    Please be kindly informed that if you stay in Vietnam more than 15 days, you can completely apply for 1 or 3 month single/multiple entry at ” Apply for Vietnam visa” on the left top of our website without any problems.

    Hopefully, this information is helpful for you.

    Dear Jim,

    Thank you for contacting us!

    We would like to inform that at present we can only provide visa on arrival (Visa to be picked up at the arrival airport in Vietnam).

    In your case, you are suggested to come directly to Vietnamese Embassy/ Consulate where you are living or staying to obtain your Vietnam visa there.

    You need to take your passport, a passport-sized photo, and cash in person to the Consulate, where you will be interviewed about the purpose of your visit. You must also pay the stamping fee and wait in a few days to get the visa. Please note that the application procedures and fees may vary among countries and embassies/consulates.

    Please be kindly noted that you need not have to show any air ticket there.

    We do hope that this information is clear and helpful for you.

    Kind regards,
    Anna Quach

    thank you for the answer, the question however is, that we shallonly stay 6 days, but still need documentation for leaving within the 15 days. Hence we would like to apply for a 1 month visa, but that is not possible online?

    Hi,
    We have a staff who is a British national and need to work in Vietnam on a project for about one and a half years. Is there anyway we can get a work visa for him? He does not have any employment contract with our client in Vietnam.

    Hi, I’m having holidays in Hoian from Aug.19 to 23 with my fiance. Flights and hotels are all booked and paid, but my fiance is still waiting for his visa. I’m Korean so no need visa but my fiance is Morocaan. We’re currently living in Shanghai, China so he applied for his visa on last thursday in vientmaese consulate in shanghai. Since our departure date is only 3 days ahead, i’m totally frustrated…
    we provided all booking details to the consulate and calling them everyday but no one there speaks english and the chinese guy who answers the phone is completely rude… if we speaks english, he hung up the phone on us…!i ask my chinese assistant to call him everyday, he just tell us that he doesn’t know when they can issue the visa.
    I don’t think they will refuse to issue visa to my fiance but can’t get rid of doubt…
    can you help me how we can make sure to get the visa before thursday? is there anyway to push them to correspond to people who want to spend money in their country more properly?

    Answer to Ms.Sera:

    Thank you for contacting us!

    We are sorry to hear about your story. However, we have no relationship with Vietnam Embassy in Shanghai, China as we are a travel agency based in Hanoi, Vietnam, not a governmental agency. Thus, we can not do anything to help you in this case.

    We do hope your problem is soon sorted out!

    Kindly regards,

    To Alan Hoang:

    Thank you for contacting us!

    Please be kindly informed that you do not submit your air ticket once applying Vietnam visa. It is not very important.

    Regarding visa extension, you can contact with any travel agency in Vietnam to assist you for extending your visa once it expires. Other while, you can do it yourself by getting it extended directly at Vietnam Immigration Department.

    Warmly welcome to Vietnam!

    Kindly regards,

    Answer to Chenpo:

    We would like to inform that Malaysian passport holders do not have to apply for any Vietnam visa if they will stay in the country less than 30 days

    You just need to apply for Vietnam visa in case you will stay in Vietnam more than 30 days.

    We hope that this information is helpful for you.

    Answer to Dwi Handayani:

    Thank you for contacting us!

    In that case, if they travel to Vietnam by air, you can apply for Vietnam visa on arrival ONLINE at Vietnam-visa.com as business visa for them.

    It will take you 2-3 working days for normal service and just 1 business day for urgent one.

    We do hope this information is clear and helpful for you.

    Best regards,

    Anna Quach
