Visa On Arrival Vietnam

Vietnam visa on arrival came into effect since 2003. Visa on arrival refers to submitting the visa request on our website anytime and from anywhere, and then obtain the visa when you arrive at any of the airports in Vietnam. This visa is no different from the visa issued by the embassy/ consulate and comes with the same conditions, rules, and regulations attached to it. Besides, it is a cheaper, quicker and simpler alternative, as compared to obtaining a visa from the embassy/ consulate of Vietnam.

Visa on arrival is not a complete visa, but a pre-approval letter issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department, through which you’d be allowed to board the aircraft and get the visa stamped on your passport on landing at the airport. This is one of the most convenient ways of obtaining a Vietnam visa, as it doesn’t require or demand the routine application and approval procedure.
