Guten Tag Gerne würde ich ein Visa on arrival organisieren. Da ich am 29.1.2014 in Hanoi oder HCMC ankomme, bin ich etwas unsicher bezüglich den Öffnungszeiten der Schalter für landing Visa: Ich habe gelesen, dass die Schalter um das chinesische Neujahr herum geschlossen sind. Wissen Sie da mehr drüber? Vielen Dank und freundliche Grüsse Angela Murer 

English: Hello I am visiting Vietnam for three weeks, arriving at January 29. I would like to use the visa on arrival, but I read that sometimes, especially around “Tet” time, the counters issuing a “landing visa” in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi airport are closed. Do you know, when they are open? Otherwise I would have to apply for a visa in advanced in my home country. Many thanks and best regards Angela Murer, Switzerland


Dear Angela,

Please be informed that that only Vietnam Immigration Department closes office for Tet holiday, but the VOA/Landing Counter at Vietnam international airport works 24/7 all year long, including weekends, national holidays and Tet holiday as well. It means the the Vietnam visa approval letter shall, normally, not be processed by the Vietnam Immigration Department but once you have got the visa approval letter, you can get visa stamped at any time upon your arrival at Vietnam airport.

To get your approval letter, spend your 5 minutes completing this Vietnam visa application form.


Should you need any further information, please feel free to let us know at [email protected] or +84.946.583.583.

Best regards,
