In order to enter Vietnam, you will need a valid passport
with at least six months validity remaining and a Vietnamese visa, a visa
exemption document, or a written approval letter for a visa upon arrival. You
may obtain a visa or a visa exemption document from a Vietnamese embassy or
consulate prior to traveling to Vietnam. To obtain a written approval letter to
enter, you must contact a travel agency prior to departure. Indian citizens
have reported unscrupulous travel agencies taking advantage of.
If you arrive without an appropriate Vietnamese visa,
exemption document, or written approval for a visa upon arrival, you will not
be permitted to enter and will be subject to immediate deportation. Vietnamese
visas are usually valid for only one entry, unless the traveler specifically
requests a multiple-entry visa, for which there may be an increased fee. If you
are planning to leave Vietnam and re-enter from another country, be sure that
your visa is multiple entry. If it is only single entry, you will have to
obtain another visa prior to returning to Vietnam.
Please be aware that there are two fees for those want to
pick up visa upon arrival at Vietnam airport : 1) the stamp fee visa at the
airport and 2) the visa processing fee also call service fee Pay to the agent
arrange the visa.
If you plan to travel to Vietnam by land, you must obtain
the type of Vietnamese visa that adheres to the passport, please contact
directly at Vietnamese embassy/consulate to get this type of visa if travelling
by land to Vietnam.
Even if you have a valid visa, you may be refused entry to
Vietnam. We caution you that Vietnamese immigration regulations require
foreigners entering Vietnam to undertake only the activity for which their
visas were issued. If you change the purpose of your visit, you must get permission
to do so in advance from the appropriate Vietnamese authority.
If your passport is lost or stolen in Vietnam, you must
obtain both a replacement passport and a replacement Vietnamese visa. If you
have an emergency, please contact your Embassy and Consulate General can issue
you a limited validity replacement passport in as little as one day; however,
the Vietnamese government requires three to five working days, in addition to
the day of application, to issue a replacement visa.
