visa on arrival) is most likely the legally easiest way to obtain your visa to
Vietnam. Instead of applying visa through Vietnam Embassy, all you need to do
now is just to send us details of your passport and flight. Within 2 working
days, or in urgent case, 4 working hours after receiving your request, we will
send you ”Visa Approval letter” via email for picking up visa upon arrival at
any international airports in Vietnam (Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai or Da Nang, Nha
Trang).

Vietnam Immigration department and recognized as a legal document by the
Vietnamese government. The IATA (International Air Traffic Association) has

the following airline websites: Sky team, Oneworld and Star Alliance.

Department of State& the British Embassy in Hanoi:
“In order to enter Vietnam, you
will need a valid passport with at least six months validity remaining and a

visa upon arrival. To obtain a written approval letter to enter, you must
contact a travel agency prior to departure.”
Why Vietnam visa on arrival is preferred?
Obviously you can apply Vietnam
visa directly at Vietnam Embassy. However, in case there is no Vietnam Embassy
or Consulate in your country, or you just want to make Vietnam as one part of a
multi-destination trip, we recommend Vietnam visa upon arrival as your best
option since it saves a lot of time and money.
What is a Visa on Arrival Vietnam?
This is most likely the easiest
way to obtain your visa without having to chase down embassies, consulates and
the like prior to your trip. The entry visa will be stamped on your passport at
the Visa On Arrival Desk at the International Airport in Vietnam. Then you can
pass through the Immigration checking point. With this type of visa, you only
can enter the country by air.
How to get a Visa on Arrival?
We get a visa on arrival Approval
letter for you from the Vietnam Immigration Department. After obtaining the
approval letter, we will forward you a copy by fax or email. Copies of the same
document will be forwarded on your behalf to Vietnam Immigration checkpoints at
International Airports only, so when you arrive in Viet Nam, the Immigration
officers will have those documents on hand and will be able to issue your entry
visa at once. Please remember to bring at least 02 photos of passport
regulation size (2in x 2in or 4cm x 6cm) and cash (US dollars) for the stamping
fees
