GENERAL INFORMATION Only citizens of certain countries can visit Vietnam without an entry visa (valid for visit within 30 days). Those countries include: most Asean countries, Korea, Japan & Scandinavians (2005). All other citizens are required to get an entry visa before departure or a pre-approved entry visa (visa is issued on arrival at Vietnam’s International Airports) supplied before arrival in Vietnam. We recommend that you obtain your entry visa by having a valid passport stamped prior to your departure by applying to any one of the Vietnam Embassies and/or Consulates worldwide. However, if your particular city does not have a Vietnamese embassy, and you wish to avoid procedural delays (anywhere from 4 to 10 days) which sometimes happen with visa approvals at embassies outside Vietnam, VietnamStay.Com can make this requirement a fairly easy exercise. We provide a form below, which you may copy and paste into a word document, fill out and return to us with the required information by fax or email. We will then arrange to obtain the visa approval code service for you. You will subsequently still need to get the official Vietnamese stamp of approval on your passport at any of our Embassies. Following such an approval, we will send you notification (by fax or email) and fax the approval to your desired Embassy or Consulate. You will need to take that approval with your passport to that Embassy or Consulate to get the visa stamp on your passport, which is done on the same day. You are now ready to go Vietnam! In the event that there is no Vietnam embassy or Consulate in your country, or you just want to make Vietnam part of a multi-destination trip, then we recommend Visa on Arrival as your best option.What is a 'Visa on Arrival ?': this is most likely the easiest 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 Viet Nam. With this type of visa, you only can enter the country by air. | | | Country | Foreign Embassy in Vietnam | Vietnam Embassy abroad | | Albania | 49 Dien Bien Phu, Ha Noi Tel: 84-4-8253865 | Tirana, Tel 2556, Telex 2253 AMBRSV AB | | Algeria | 12 Phan Chu Trinh, Ha Noi Tel : 84 -4 - 8253865 Fax : 84 -4 -8260830 Website : http://www.ambalgvn.org.vn | 30 Chenoua Hydra, Anger, Tel 600752 | | Australia | 66 Ly Thuong Kiet, Ha Noi Tel: 84 - 4 - 8252763 Web: | 6 Timbarra Crescent, O'Malley, Canberra, ACT 2603 Tel (062) 866509, Fax 864534 http://www.au.vnembassy.org | | Belgium | B3 Van Phuc, Ha Noi Tel: 84 - 4 - 252263 | Avenue De La Floride 130, 1180 Bruxells, Tel (02) 3749133 Fax 3749133 | | Bulgaria | 2 Van Phuc, Ha Noi Tel: 84 - 4 - 252908 | Sofia-1113, Ul.

Passports and Visas A valid passport and a visa are required of all foreigners visiting Vietnam. With very few exceptions, there is no such thing as a "visa on arrival." Visas are issued by Vietnamese embassies and consulates. Some overseas offices of Vietnamtourism are able to issue tourist visas. Tourist visas are good for thirty days and may be extended after your arrival in Vietnam. Fees vary from embassy to embassy; about $50 in Bangkok and $85 in Washington, for example. A double entry visa is also available for tourists making side trips from Vietnam to destinations in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. Visa forms are available by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope addressed to Visa Section, Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam at one of the addresses below.

You are required to state your intended ports of arrival and departure (for example, arriving in Hanoi and departing from Ho Chi Minh City). Changing either of these upon or after your arrival could result in a mountain of red tape and extra expense. Submit your application along with two standard passport photos, your passport and the required fee. Business visas are good for six months and provide for multiple entries. Sponsorship by a licensed Vietnamese enterprise is required. Your Vietnamese trade partner will provide you with the necessary details. Visa Application Form You can view this form and print it out! Or you can save the document as a file in your own computer by first viewing it, then clicking the right button on your mouse. | | | | |
