Vietnam Visa

Types of Vietnam Visa

Tourist Visa

People looking to visit their friends and family, going for sightseeing or any other personal purpose require a tourist visa. Generally, its validity ranges from 15-30 days but it can be extended once you have arrived in Vietnam. People looking to spend longer than a month in Vietnam will have to apply for a 3-month visa but the process will remain the same.

Business Visa

If you want to visit Vietnam for business purposes you need to have a business visa. If you apply for a 6-month visa, by default it gets categorized as a business visa although you can visit for 6 months for other purposes as well. In case you are going there for your business, you will need a letter from whatever institute or organization you will be visiting during your stay. Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay in the country.

Visa On Arrival

Vietnam Visa on Arrival is an online, alternative way to obtain a visa to visit Vietnam. After completing the online application form and paying the processing fee, you will receive, via email, your Approval Letter from between one hour to two business days, depending on the status of visa processing you have selected. Copies of your Approval Letter will also be forwarded on your behalf to Vietnam Immigration checkpoints at each of Vietnam’s three international airports in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Da Nang (online visa approval only applies to air travelers who arrive at one of Vietnam’s international airports; travelers arriving by land or sea must apply for a visa through a Vietnam Embassy). When you arrive in Vietnam, the Immigration officers will have your documents ready and will be able to issue your entry visa quickly.
