Vietnam Visa Information
Transit Without Visa
Vietnam permits foreigners to transit without a visa (TWOV) provided they remain inside the airport transit areas while awaiting an onward flight out of the country within 24 hours of arrival. Travelers are not allowed to leave the airport without a visa.
Visa Exemption for Phu Quoc Island
If you are only visiting Phu Quoc Island, guess what, you probably don't need a visa at all! There is a 30 day visa exception for Phu Quoc visits, and many people report being able to transit in HAN or SGN en route to PQC. But there are now direct flights to PQC and that allows you to avoid having to get a visa at all. Worth considering...
Regular Visa in Advance of Travel
Foreigners may obtain a visa at the nearest Vietnamese embassy or consulate. Prices are not published and appear to vary from location to location. Most recent reports suggest a typical fee of approximately USD 100.

Visa Exemption
Those traveling on passports issued by the following nations are generally exempt from visa requirements for varying durations of stay: Belarus, Brunei, Cambodia, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Thailand and UK. See the entry visa exemption list at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for duration of stay info.

List of countries eligible for eVisa: https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/do...b-91595a4f5867 (link updated 2017-12-19, note new list can be published with different link) 35 more countries were announced as eligible for e-visa on Feb 20, 2019. Total is now 81 countries. See post 1561 for new additions (government website is down currently, will update with link here when possible).
Remember to print out the e-visa form they give you, as they will request it on arrival and on departure!
Some ports of entry require the evisa to be validated on arrival. In particular DAD has been cited in the thread as requiring the evisa holder to be processed at the VOA desk. Takes about 15 mins.
Visa On Arrival (VOA) at Airport Border Entries
Travelers planning to obtain a VOA should arrive with the following documents:
VOA stamp fees for Non-USA passport holders (as of December 2019) are US$25 for a single entry of 1 or 3 months validity, US$50 for multiple entry of 1 or 3 months validity or US$100 for multiple entry 1 year validity.
For USA passport holders, there was a temporary increase from September to December of 2016, up to $135. However Effective December 15, 2016 the $135 stamping fee for US citizens has been dropped, and there are reports US passport holders can be issued VOA letters for single entry 30 day visas again AND that US citizens should only have to pay a $25 stamp fee at on collection of VOA. In late December, there were reports are that the desks in HAN and DAD did not receive the memo, so YMMV until the airport desks "get the memo."
This fee must be paid at the VOA counter on arrival , and is in addition to whatever fees you have paid the VOA service provider for the invitation letter. Payments are accepted in Vietnamese Dong, USD or Euros.
Visa on arrival (VOA) is permitted for one of the following purposes:
There are countless service providers on the internet that offer VOA approval letters for a fee. Legitimate providers are licensed travel agencies, thus meeting the highlighted criterion above. Those planning to obtain a VOA approval letter are advised to take steps to ensure they are working with a licensed Vietnam travel agency or tour operator. Some Vietnam hotels are also able to provide this service.
Some VOA service providers offer expedited processing for same day or 30 minutes turnaround on issuance of VOA letter and priority processing upon arrival at the airport in Vietnam for an additional fee.
Advantages of VOA include lower cost than embassy-issued visa, eliminates the need to visit an embassy or mail passport for advance visa, and faster receipt of VOA approval letter (sent via email).
Disadvantages of VOA include longer immigration processing upon arrival, with potentially long waits for receipt of visa (usually 10-20 min., but longer waits do occur); privacy concerns due to inclusion of personal data for multiple unrelated travelers on one approval letter; and risk of scams by unauthorized VOA service providers.

VOA Service Providers Recommended By FTers
The following are a few of the VOA service providers that have been used and discussed in the thread by active FlyerTalk members. These providers publish sufficient information on their websites to suggest that they are authorized operators (e.g., provide physical business address, state actual travel company name, display tour operator license number, etc.). Members should verify these basic criteria before adding providers this list; simply having had successful transactions is not sufficient:

Travelers planning to obtain a VOA should arrive with the following documents:

- One passport-type photo
- Cash for visa stamp fee (see below)
VOA stamp fees for Non-USA passport holders (as of December 2019) are US$25 for a single entry of 1 or 3 months validity, US$50 for multiple entry of 1 or 3 months validity or US$100 for multiple entry 1 year validity.

See my post:
note they have a tick box for a "private letter" now
If you tick that box, they will send you a letter with nobody else attached. Otherwise, they submit in batches and list all details in the letter... they have different notions of privacy in Vietnam apparently.

When I used VOA a couple of years ago, everything worked swimmingly, except: when checking in at LAX on ANA (LAX-HND/NRT-SGN), they were leery of letting me check-in with the VOA form. I had to sign away any rights if I was refused entry in Vietnam.
I'll be doing this again next year, but with JAL this time from LAX.
Does anyone else have a similar experience? Get hassled by an airline at the airport? Or was this experience an oddity?

Hi - looking for some advice please regarding TWOV.
Chinese citizen (PRC) intending to fly PVG-SGN-MEL. Two hour airside transit in SGN (connecting VN->VN).
I thought TWOV would be ok? But then got confused by TIMATIC which says visa is required unless passport endorsed 'for public affairs'. Or is that only for pax wishing to 'enter' Vietnam?:

First thought is that VN in China can give you chapter and verse on this.
Second thought is:
TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Visa required, except for Holders of confirmed onward tickets
There have been (reported) problems where passengers hoping to transfer on separate tickets/airlines at SGN have had difficulty checking-in at their origin airport without a visa. This can be resolved simply by getting the $10 visa approval letter.

Hi all,
I'll be going to vietnam in may 2015, arriving via land border from Cambodia so VOA is not an option...I'm trying to avoid the ridiculous CIBT 129$ fee so thought I would try the application myself.
The wiki gives info on the USA side but coming from Canada, the embassy website mentions you can apply either by mail or in person...has anyone ever tried getting a visa that way?
I'm kinda weary of doing it via mail as the only payment option would be via writing my CC number on a piece of paper with a "charge what you want" ending...
I wouldn't mind making the drive to ottawa to apply in person and pay cash rather than CC. Is it as simple as walking in, hand in papers+cash+passport and leave?

The VN embassy/consulates in the U.S. accept cashiers checks and money orders for payment. Is this not an option for Canadians?

Each Embassy/Consulate operates independently. I would call the Embassy directly to inquire. In SF, you can apply for expedited service (pay extra) and wait a couple hours for processing.

They do, but I can't find the visa fee anywhere on the website and per googgle and the wiki, that is because the fee varies by location and the person who processes it so I wouldn't even know the amount to put on money order...

Just email them and they'll tell you the fee. The last time I checked it was $60. If you're not Vietnamese I think they'll tell you $100.

A great thread, thanks to all the content contributors!!
My question: I'm doing VOA, arriving at 10:40 PM at HCMC, via Asiana business class. I'll be coming from Korea, not as jet lagged, so I'm thinking I could navigate the Visa on Arrival stuff without challenge, but I don't want to wait.
If I'm putting a premium on my time, is it worth using Fast Track Arrival service offered by my VOA service provider (Vietnam Visa Corp)? It's only $15 per person, if it saves me 20 minutes, I'd do it.
Thanks in advance!
