Entry tourist visa to Vietnam

Vietnam welcomes and encourages travel by foreign visitors, but travelers should remember that a visa is required if you do not come from visa-exempt coutries. Tourist visa to Vietnam is normally valid from 15 to 30 days and should be applied about 1 month before date of travel.

If you travel to Vietnam by land or sea, please go to the nearest Vietnam Embassy in your country of residence to submit Vietnam visa application.

Commonly requested documents include:

- Visa application form (available at the embassy)

- Origin passport valid for at least 6 months validity prior date of travel

- 01 recent passport photo

- Vietnam visa fee

The processing time may take 2-5 business days depending on each embassy. If you wish to rush the process, the express service is available to you for extra cost.

For people who travel to Vietnam by air, we advise you to apply for Vietnam visa on arrival to avoid waste of time and money. Vietnam visa on arrival is a legitimate alternative of getting Vietnam visa for air travelers only. It is issued by Vietnam Immigration Department and recognized by International Air Traffic Association (IATA).
