How to get Vietnam visa in Lubbock,United States

General information

Vietnam visa for US passport holders can be valid for up to 1 year starting from the travel date indicated in the application form. The applicants are permitted to enter Vietnam anytime when the visa is valid and stay until it expires. However, you cannot stay more than 3 months per entry with tourist visa valid from 6 months to 1 year. For this reason, many U.S visitors are willing to pay more to get long-term business visa which enables them to remain in Vietnam for the whole year.

2.      Visa on arrival

Who should use visa on arrival?

Those who enter Vietnam by air regardless of travel purpose and length of stay.

Before flying to Vietnam and picking up the visa at arrival airport, you must obtain an approval letter granted by immigration department. The letter functions as the visa to help you board plane. Here is the online application form to register the approval. Normally, the letter is ready within 24 hours. In case of emergency, it can be processed in 1 hour only. For details, please refer to How to get an urgent visa for Vietnam.

That is how to register the approval of tourist visa. For businessmen, you are asked to apply via email by sending passport copy and proposed date of entry to address support@vietnamvisa-easy.com . A confirmation email will be sent to you shortly with a payment link. The business approval is normally sent to your email within 2-3 working days.

Keep in mind that the approval is valid at every international airport in Vietnam, so it still works if you change the arrival airport right before the travel. Upon arrival, you should show this approval with valid passport, entry/exit form, 01 passport-sized photo and pay stamping fee to receive visa sticker. This process takes an average of 15 minutes. It might be longer or shorter depending on the number of people getting the visa at that time. If you want a fast track service, the stamping assistance service is always available.
