There is only one provider of the e-visa (the Vietnamese government) and it's found in the link provided by calbear2005 in this thread. The same link is also listed in the wiki under "e-visa" in this thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/asia...ietnam-50.html

The "other providers" are basically travel agencies offering to provide you with an invitation letter to the country where you'll have to pay a stamping fee for a Visa on Arrival (VOA). (That will also require standing in line for 30-45 mins upon arrival while they process the VOA.) That is NOT an e-visa, despite what their websites may imply.

Get the e-visa. It's the cheapest ($25) and easiest way to enter the country, if your country of origin allows you to qualify for it.
