How to get a Vietnam entry visa

At present, only citizens of few countries can visit Vietnam without entry visa (Visa exception), all others are required to get the entry visa before departure or pre-approved entry visa (the visa on arrival will be issued at an international airport such as Noi Bai airport-Hanoi or Tan San Nhat airport, Ho Chi Minh City) before arrival in Vietnam.
The best practice is to get the visa stamped on your passport before the departure by applying to one of the Vietnam Embassy or Consulate in the world. If you want to avoid waiting for a long time to get visa approved at an Embassy outside Vietnam (from 4 to 10 days), we can arrange to get the visa approved code service for you (from 1 to 3 working days). After approval, we will send notification (by fax or attached email) to you and fax the approval to your desired Embassy or Consulate, you then just bring your passport to that Embassy or Consulate to get the visa stamp on your passport on the same day and ready to go to Vietnam.
But in case there is not any Vietnam embassy or Consulate in your country or you just want to visit Vietnam at once on the way you travel, the Visa on Arrival is the solution. The Visa on Arrival is the visa stamped on your passport at an International airport on your arrival at Vietnam. But this visa only be issued if you applied for it in advance and approved. If you apply for this type of visa, after approval, we will send a copy to you by fax or attached email. We keep the original to help you getting the visa easily at arrival check point in Vietnam.
