There are 2 most important remarks for Vietnam visa on arrival you should notice.

1. Unlike visa on arrival to Cambodia or Laos which can be picked up at your entry into such countries without doing anything beforehand, Visa on arrival to Vietnam requires you to apply online to get a visa approval letter beforehand. Without such letter, you cannot board your flight to Vietnam.
2. While visa on arrival to many countries works for both land or sea border crossing and air travelers, Vietnam visa on arrival is for those traveling to Vietnam by air only.

So, before applying for Vietnam visa on arrival, please take these into your account.

As Vietnam visa on arrival works at 5 international airports of Vietnam only (consisting of Noi Bai – Hanoi, Cat Bi – Hai Phong, Da Nang – Da Nang, Cam Ranh – Khanh Hoa and Tan Son Nhat – Ho Chi Minh City), you only can use this kind of visa if you are traveling to Vietnam by air through any of those airports.
