Visa on arrival
This is most comfortable way to obtain your visa without
having to chase down embassies, consulates and the like
prior to your trip, and is a valid alternative when
applying for a tourist visa. The entry visa will be
stamped on your passport as you pass through our
immigration checkpoint. Though valid for thirty days, it
can be extended once you enter Vietnam. With this type
of visa, you may only enter the country once (single
entry not multiple-entries) & applied only when you will
enter Vietnam by air.
