ANSWER to Richarson:
1. How long is a visa in Vietnam?
It depends on how long you would stay in Vietnam. Normally, there are 4 types of visa duration in VN: 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year (special type). For eg., if you gonna stay in VN for, say, 20 days, you have to apply for 1-month visa (single or multiple).
2. Apply for 10 year expiry visa to enter Vietnam?
For a 10-YEAR STAY, no entry visa can allow applicants to stay that long (even when extending, only one-month more is added). So you have to contact the Vietnamese Government (Vietnam Immigration Dept) directly to specially ask for such a special long-stay permission. (They might or might not allow; it depends on your particular case)
3. Can I arrival after my requested date of entry online Vietnam visa?
Yes. (But you have to leave on the right date cited on the visa)
4. How can I extend visa in Vietnam???
You can extend your visa by getting to the Vietnam Immigration Dept in Vietnam in person with your passport before your visa expiry date. You will get the answer after around 5 days. The fee is from 10-100 USD depending upon your particular type of visa.
5. What do I need to send to the Vietnam embassy to get my letter of approval???
To apply for a visa to Vietnam at Vietnam Embassy in your country, you have to submit your Passport (valid 6 months), application form (filled out), 2 photos (2x2in), visa fee, and pre-paid return envelope (in case you submit by mail carriage). Please note that you require an Approval Letter (for which you may have to pay some more fee). The processing time might be about 5-7 days.
You can also contact us at http://www.vietnam-visa.com to get a Vietnam Visa approval letter.
There’s also another quicker way to apply for a Vietnam visa, that is, selecting Visa on Arrival (to be collected on arrival at Vietnam International airport) by going online with us at http://www.vietnam-visa.com . You can get your visa approval letter after only 2 or 3 days (normal) and 1 day (urgent). For more details, please feel free to contact us. Thanks and Best Regards!
ANSWER to Philip J:
We don’t know how long you gonna stay in Vietnam, yet, in any case, the fastest and easiest way to get a visa to Vietnam is applying online for a Visa on Arrival. You will get your Visa Approval Letter after 2-3 working days (normal) or 1 working day (urgent). The only thing you have to do is to fill in this secure online form at https://secure.vietnam-visa.com/apply.html, pay the fee, and get your approval letter after 2-3 days. There’ll be some mails to instruct you how to use the approval letter later on.
The other way is to get normal Vietnam entry visa (to be received before traveling) directly at Vietnam Embassy in your country. This takes time (around 4-10 days) and requires many procedures. So the former is better! Tks and Best Regards!
ANSWER to Romsie:
In any case you always need a visa to Vietnam. If you have a work permit, your office in Vietnam who will work with you here will get a visa for you, and surely you can get a long-term visa.
If you do not have a work permit, you have to apply for a tourist visa. Good luck!
Hi, I am Canadian citizen, currently living in China (Nanning) on a 1-year resident permit. I plan to visit Vietnam during spring festival. Should I get a visa from Nanning before I go?
We are very pleased to receive your email with the very good news that you like our service at http://www.vietnam-visa.com. We do hope that you have had a great time in Vietnam, and long to serve you more in the future!
In your case, we suggest you apply for a visa code at http://www.vietnam-visa.com, and use it to pick up your visa at the Embassy in Beijing, or the Consulate in Guangzhou, since there’s no Vietnamese consulate in Nanning. Click here http://www.vietnam-visa.com to apply for the visa code.
Of if you gonna travel by air, you’d be best to apply for a visa on arrival (to pick up visa at arrival airport). Apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com!
I will probably be travelling into Vietnam by bus from Nanning to Hanoi. Can I get a visa when I get off the bus if I have applied on line first and received my approval letter? If not what is the best way to get the visa?
Visa on arrival is only applied for those who travel by air to Vietnam. If you go by bus, the only way to enter Vietnam is to get a visa before hand at the Vietnam Embassy/Consulate in your country.
You could still apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com for a visa code. After 1 or 2 days (from payment), you will receive it via email. You will wait about 2 days more (except weekend days) to print it out and bring it to the Embassy/Consulate to ask for the visa to be stamped onto your passport (pay some stamping fee, about some tens of US dollars). Remember to call us right away in case the Embassy has not received the fax of your case from Vietnam Immigration! Good luck!
I arrived in Vietnam early January with a valid Australian passport and a Vietnam Visa issued to me in Australia. Due to further travel plans I have been issued (at the Australian Consulate in Ho Chi Mien) a new Australian passport (of longer duration). In order to leave Vietnam next week, is my Vietnam Visa in original passport still valid? If not I am very concerned as to how to obtain another with all the public holidays .
Hi, I am Iranian, currently living in Malaysia and have student visa. I plan to visit Vietnam on april. Should I get a visa from kuala lumpur before I go?

I understand I can teach privately in Vietnam, but can I get a long term visa (1 year) renewable without a sponsor to do that? Or a work permit w/o a sponsor? Thanks…
Answer to Ja.
The Vietnam Government only agree to issue visa for tourist who is holding at least 6 months validity passport. In your specific case, you should come to the Immigration in your country to renew your passport. The process may take from 2-3 days to 10 days.
Answer to Chloe:
There are two kinds of date: arrival date and registered date. The arrival date is the date you will come to Vietnam while registered date is the date cited on your visa. You can come later but no sooner than the registered date. For instance, if your registered date cited on the visa is March 7, it means you can come later than March 7 Jan but no sooner than March 7 as well as leave sooner but no later than the leaving date. Thus, it’s suitable for you to come to Vietnam on March 8.Thus, your Vietnam Visa in original passport still valid. You should contact with embassy before the traditional new year because I am afraid that all offices in Vietnam close in that days. Good luck!
Answer to Forough:
We are very sorry to inform that, at present, the Vietnamese Government do not accept entry for citizens from some nations including yours. This might be due to some political matters, which are really out of our expectation.

If you enter Vietnam by land from China, you are suggested to apply for visa code as visa on arrival only allow you to get your visa stamped in Vietnam airports (it means you have to go by air). You can directly apply your visa code in your country or in China or apply though us.

You should apply for visa code in our website at http://www.vietnam-visa.com to pick up visa in Vietnam Embassy in Beijing – China.If you apply for urgent service, it takes only 1 days if you apply for normal service, it takes from 2 to 3 days (except for Saturday and Sunday) to get the visa code. All you should do as follows:

Answer to Dannyc:
We are very sorry to inform that you must have at least months left on your Uk passport until it expires despite your time in Vietnam is short or long and there is no ways for you to collect the visa. Please be so kind to renew your passport and then do the visa. Welcome you to Vietnam with best regards!
Do I need proof of the date that I am leaving Vietnam before my visa expires? eg/ a return plane ticket to Bangkok
I am planning on buying a one-way ticket to Ho Chi Minh City AFTER I get my vietnam visa. Flying to HCMC, taking trains north to Hanoi then buying a one-way ticket back to Bangkok once I am ready to leave (within one month). Is this o.k?
If you are holding Malaysian passport (Malaysian nationality), you are visa – exempted to Vietnam less than 30 days. It means you can enter Vietnam without visa during 30 days.
Regards!
There are two kinds of Visa – visa on arrival and Visa code.
You should apply for visa on arrival if you enter Vietnam by air, single visa for one entry and multiple visa for multiple entry. If you are planning to stay in Vietnam for about 5 days you should apply for Visa on arrival 1 month single.
In case you enter Vietnam by land, you are suggested to apply for visa code (getting your visa code at the Vietnam Embassy and Consulate in your country). We will send your approval code to the Embassy in your country and you will come there to get your visa stamped. Yet, visa code will require time and cause you inconvenient!
You do not need to show any evidence that you will leave Vietnam before your expired date cited on your visa. If you are having Visa On arrival, the Vietnam Immigration Officer will check your passport or put a mark on your visa to show that your time in Vietnam is over.
when you check in at the border (if you used visa code), your passport which is attached with your visa will be carefully checked. It is not a serious matter!
Hi

Answer to Tung,
As your case related to passport, we suggest that you should contact to the place that issued the passport for you. From the technical point of view, they will answer you more detailed as we only focus on visa only.
Answer to Craig,
If you only transit in Vietnam for few hours before taking another flight to other country,there are two cases for you:
- If you only stay in the waiting room of the Vietnam airport without going out, you do not need a Vietnam visa.
- If you transit in Vietnam but you will go out of the airport for relaxing before taking the new flight, you will need a Vietnam visa.
There is no Vietnam embassy in my country Nigeria,I travelling to work there but I will be going with my wife and two children,I learnt I can only get a single entry on arrival visa,how do I change it to multiple entry once I get in?
If you are holding the Nigerian nationality, we are afraid to say that you should directly contact the Vietnam Immigration Office in Vietnam to ask for your case as progressing visa for you is not easy for us.

Once you get a single visa,there is no way to change to multiple one. In your specific case, you should apply for new one.
Can i change my 1 month tourist visa for Vietnam into a business/ working one whilst remaining in vietnam, as a teaching opportunity has arisen and i am unsure of my options.
Thanks in advance…
There is no considerable difference between tourism visa and business visa. You do not need to much worry about that. Yet, as far as we understand, you are in Vietnam right now, for secure feelings, you can apply for new business visa. Personally talking, it is not so necessary.
hi my name is arpit,and i would like to know about visa,i am an indian,and i would like to aks you,i love one vietnamese girl,she want’s to come to india to get marry with me,and she want’s to come to india on tourist visa so can we get marry then after?please let me know as soon as possible about this if you can.
I am traveling to Laos from Hong Kong via plane with a 2 hour stopover in Hanoi. If there is an issue and we were to miss our connecting flight in Hanoi. Would it be possible to obtain a short term visa to stay in Hanoi overnight and take the next day flight to Laos?
If you just transit in Vietnam airports without going out, you do not need a visa. Yet, if you go out, even 1 days, you are required to have a Vietnam visa.
If you enter Vietnam from Cambodia, you should directly go to the Vietnam Embassy and Consulate in Cambodia to apply visa code as it is the quickest way.
I fly out to Bankok in May for 4 months before going onto Australia and will at some point be visiting Vietnam for a couple of weeks. If I apply for a visa on arrival will it be valid from the date I arrive in Vietnam or will I have to specify dates before hand, as I don’t know what they’ll be as yet?
We would like to answer your question as follows:
There are two kinds of date: arrival date and registered date. The arrival date is the date you will come to Vietnam while registered date is the date cited on your visa. You can enter Vietnam 1 day earlier than the arrival date cited on the visa and 1 day later than the departure date cited on the visa. For instance, if your registered date cited on the visa is March 7, it means you can come to Vietnam later than March 7or you can come on March 6 as the earliest.
We hope that the information above is clear and helpful for you!
I am very grateful that you guys have made the effort to answer the very important questions which travellers to Vietnam have. Now my question is, I am an iranian born Canadian Citizen. would I be able to travel and obtain visa to Vietnam?
Answer to Andrew,
If you are holding the Iran passport, you should come in person to the Vietnam Embassy and Consulate in Iran/Canada to ask for your visa. If you are holding the Canada passport, you can pick up your visa on arrival at Vietnam airports. Visa on arrival is very easy and convenient for you!

I have a 1 year work visa for Vietnam. I wish to renew it. However, I no longer employed by a Vietnamese company. If I wish to renew, can I just pay fees or must I show proof of employment with a new Sponsorship letter from a VN employer?
If you intend to enter Vietnam on 22nd, you should apply for super urgent service (plus $25 with normal service)which only take the Vietnam Immigration Office a half of a day to complete your visa. This kind of service will not appear on our site as it is only suggested in a emergency case like yours. Please send your super urgent service fee by logging in PayPal and pay us directly at order@vietnam-visa.com. Or you can pay through Xoom or Western Union instead. Right after receiving your payment, we will progress the visa for you and you will receive it at 12noon Vietnamese hours GMT+7 22nd April 2009 as latest.
If you are holding a 1 year visa, you should come to a nearest Vietnamese travel agency to ask for renewing. You just pay the renew fee and wait from a week to 10 days. Normally, you can renew your 1 year visa several times and the fee would be $225. You should contact http://www.huongviettravel.com for more details.

Can i, as a uk national, apply for a vietnam visa at the vietnamese consulate in hong kong? and would 3 working days in hong kong be enough time to get this done?
Answer to Rob,
As a UK citizen, you can apply for Vietnam visa. There are two ways to get Vietnam Visa from Hong Kong as follows:
1. Get Vietnam Visa through Vietnam Consulate in Hong Kong
Contact Vietnam Consulate in Hong Kong:

How to get there? You go to Wan Chai road, you will see Great Smart Tower Building. Enter from Canal Road East and it is not far from there.
2. Get Vietnam Visa on arrival via online service
The considered quicker and easier way to get Visa to Vietnam from Hong Kong is to apply online for a Visa on Arrival. However, this method is applicable to air travel only.

First of all, please kindly confirm us the followings:

-When you enter Vietnam from Cambodia, will you enter Vietnam by air or by land?

thank you very much
In some countries as China, Laos, Cambodia, the process of getting a visa code is very quick and convenient. Therefore, we suggest that you should go there by yourself to pick up the visa code. In this case, you do not have to pay the service fee any more, just only stamping fee.
Ok. We will be in transit going through Ho Chi Minh to Cambodia and flying back into Vietnam.
Also is it easier to apply for an extension to the 30 day Vietnam visa once you are in Vietnam than apply online here in Hong Kong or can I not do that in Hong Kong anyway? And if I can what is the cost difference?
Regards and thanks for your prompt reply!
Barry
If you enter Vietnam by air, you should apply for visa 3 months multiple. This kind of visa will let you enter and exit Vietnam many times within 3 months. You can enter Vietnam whenever you want in 3 months.
If you want to extend your visa, you must extend it in Vietnam, not in Hongkong. Yet, in order to do that, you must have a visa already and then, you extend it.In Hongkong, you can only pick up your visa code in Vietnam Embassy. The fee for getting the visa code varies between countries so we are impossible to cover all.
Yet, you should apply for visa on arrival 3 months. If you just transit Vietnam for the first time and do not go out the waiting room of the Vietnam airport, you do not need a Vietnam Visa.
I have the following question: I will be staying in Vietnam on a tourist visa in July. I am a Dutch citizen and can easily get a Vietnam visa here in Cambodia where I am right now. After spending this month in Vietnam, I plan to extend the visa for the month of August because my boyfriend will come to visit me to travel in Vietnam together for 3 to 4 weeks.
My boyfriend is a Korean. I have understood that citizens of South Korea do not need a visa for Vietnam, they can stay in the country without visa for 15 days.
However, we want to travel longer than 15 days. Question is: should he get a Vietnam 30 day tourist visa before entering the country, or can he extend the 15 days when he is already in Vietnam? How long would that take, and how much does it cost?
Given the fact that we will be traveling and do not want to be stuck in a city for a long time waiting for his passport to come back, would it overall be more convenient for him to just get a normal 30 day tourist visa to begin with? Thanks!
If you enter Vietnam by air, you and your friend should apply for visa 1 month. Your guy does not need Vietnam visa for 15 days visits, yet, he should apply a visa for 1 month because the process of getting the visa extend is long and the service fee for extending is normally high.
What you need to do is very simple as follows:
-You apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com
-Settle the payment (service fee) as per instructions
- Receive your visa approval letter after 1working day (urgent service), and 2 or 3 working days (normal service) via email
- You print the letter out and bring it together with your photos + passport +some dollars pay the Vietnam Immigration Officer to get your visa stamped in arrival airport in Vietnam and pick up your visa there.
And now, you are ready to enter Vietnam!
There are two kinds of fees: service fee and stamping fee.
- Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to proceed the visa for you.
- Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.
If you enter Vietnam by land, you should apply the visa code by yourself at the Vietnam Embassy in Cambodia. You do not need to apply through our service as the process of getting the visa there is quick!

Welcome to Vietnam!
Answer to Van,
If you are Vietnamese with Vietnamese passport, you don’t need visa to come to Vietnam.
If you are Vietnamese overseas with different nationality shown in your passport (like French, Austrian, US…), you are offered visa exemption to enter Vietnam by the Vietnamese Government. Please kindly click here for detailed guidelines http://mienthithucvk.mofa.gov.vn/.
However, if you would like to avoid all the procedures at the Embassy, and require a visa to Vietnam quickly, we will get your visa on arrival done upon your request (via email or phone)! And it will be completed after 2 working days from your request!

For holding Chinese Passport residing in Singapore. Can i apply the visa NOW , If my travel period is on 24 December to 29 December 2009 ?
Thanks for the concern and appreciated.
I recently received a 6-month single-entry visa through VN embassy. I plan to come to Vietnam for September and October, possibly longer. If I leave, then need to return before the 6-month period is over, will the embassy issue me a new visa? Or do I need to wait until the 6-month visa is over?
In your case, Vietnam Embassy will issue a new visa for you. However, we suggest if you enter and exit Vietnam many times, that you should apply for 6-month multiple visa. It’s cheaper and more convenient for you!
Hello
My visa has been issued for the period between 21st august to 4th september. Unfortunately, I could only get to Vietnam on 2nd september, which would leave me not much time to enjoy. Is there a way to change the validity of my visa on arrival?
Answer to Rodrigo,
Normally, Vietnam Immigration Dept usually issues the Visa for clients in 1 month. For example, from 21 August to 21 September. In your case, you should double check your visa. If it only valid from 21 August to 4 September, you can extend your visa when you are in Vietnam or you can renew your visa with the new arrival date and exit day.

Hi,
My wife and I will be traveling to Vietnam in the next couple of days. We will arrive from China, and will be crossing to Vietnam through the Lao Cai border. We both already have a visa to Vietnam that we requested in Canada (country where we live) and we are traveling with a Mexican and a Colombian passport respectively.
My question is, Does the visa need to say which crossing will we be using? We have red in a couple of books that it is neccesary that the visa states which crossing we will use. The form that we submitted in Canada when we requested our visas stated that we will cross to Vietnam through Lao Cai. But the visas in our passports does not have that information printed anywhere.
Thank you for your help.
Alberto
To Alberto,
There are two ways you can get the visa code.
Firstly, you can apply Visa directly at the Vietnam embassy or Consulates in the country you are living or staying in. The stamping fees for getting the visa code do vary depending upon the country (normally, upward $50/pax).
Secondly, by using our service, you can get your Vietnam visa entry conveniently. We will help you to apply visa code through the Vietnam Immigration Office then, they will send your visa approval code directly to The Vietnam Embassy or Vietnam Consulate in the country you are living or staying in where you just bring your passport to receive the visa to entry to Vietnam (You should go to the Embassy after receiving our approval code from us 2 days later because Vietnam Embassy/Consulate needs time to check your information with the Vietnam Immigration Department). The service fee will be online paid us to progress the approval code. The stamping fee will be paid at the Embassy directly to get your stamp! This fee will be different in each country.
In some countries as China, Laos, Cambodia, the process of getting a visa code is very quick and convenient. Therefore, we suggest that you should go there by yourself to pick up the visa code. In this case, you do not have to pay the service fee any more, just only stamping fee.
Many thanks and best regards!

Chinese passport holders are required Vietnam Visa. I would like to give you the instruction on how to have your visa and other questions related to visa processing
1. In case you would like to travel by air
-You apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com
-Settle the payment (service fee) as per instructions
- Receive your visa approval letter after 1working day (urgent service), and 2 or 3 working days (normal service) via email
- You print the letter out and bring it together with your photos + passport +some dollars pay the Vietnam Immigration Officer to get your visa stamped in arrival airport in Vietnam and pick up your visa there.
And now, you are ready to enter Vietnam!
There are two kinds of fees: service fee and stamping fee.
- Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to proceed the visa for you.
- Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.
-NORMAL PROCESSING service fee: GUARANTEED 2-3 working days
-URGENT PROCESSING service fee: 1 working day (plus 10 USD).
2. In case you do not travel by other ways (not travel by air): you should apply for visa code (the visa to pick up at your nearest and most convenient Vietnam Embassy). There are two ways for you to get your visa code:
The first is you can apply at our site http://www.vietnam-visa.com , after one day (urgent service ) and two to three working days for normal service, you receive the visa approval code by Vietnam Immigration Department. Then you print the code and bring it with you to Vietnam Embassy in the country you are living to stamp your visa quickly.
The second way is that you yourself go to Vietnam Embassy to apply for visa. This way is more time consuming and complicated.
For more information, please kindly visit our website at http://www.vietnam-visa.com !
We do hope that the information is useful for you. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. We are willing and pleased to help you at our best!
Dear Sir/Madam,
You need to apply for urgent service, which takes us 1 working day to process a visa. Now, it is Tuesday already, you need to apply and pay us as soon as possible so that your visa approval letter will be sent to you as your desire.

1. Inform of your situation to police in the place you are living in Vietnam
2. Go to the British Embassy in Vietnam to reissue your passport.
3. Bring your new passport and dispatch of British Embassy and a report on losing your passport to a travel agency to ask for Exit Visa.

I’m a Malaysian citizen currently applying for permanent residency in Australia. The Australian government require I provide police checks in every country I’ve lived in for the past 10 years for more than 12 months. I’ve lived in Saigon for 3 years.
How can I apply for the police check, or maybe a letter of good conduct in Vietnam?

In your case, you can contact Police at the place you was living in Vietnam to ask about procedure of having a Justice Record Check (In Vietnam, normally it called Criminal Record).

I’m a US citizen, and I received an approved multiple-entry visa for a 1 month stay in Vietnam, but I now need to change the valid dates. Currently, it’s valid from Dec. 11, 2009 – Jan. 11, 2010, however I need it to be valid from Dec. 2, 2009 – Jan 2., 2010 as I plan to go into the country earlier. Since I am traveling through SE Asia and am not in one city for more than a few days at a time, what’s the best (and most convenient) way to update or change the valid dates of my visa? I’m near Chiang Mai in Thailand at this time.
To Winnie Wong,
You can not get to Vietnam on December 2 with your ready-done visa. If you would like to get earlier, you have to request for another visa approval with the arrival date “December 2″,for this case, you can go to Vietnam Embassy in Bangkok-Thailand in person to pick up your visa or apply online for visa on arrival (picked up at Vietnam airport)
Kindly regards,

Sir,
I am holding passport of the Turkish Republic but I am a resident of Japan as my wife is Japanese and I have been living here since 1981.
In the recent years, I visited Vietnam many times to make a market research for my company as i work for a Japanese machine manufacturer. We are intending to open a representative office in HCM City and we have prepared all the documents. But when I applied for visa to the Vietnam Consulate in Osaka, my visa was rejected for no reason. I applied again through a Japanese travel agency and their branch office in HCM City, it was rejected again.
I would like to get a 2 or 3 month single business or tourist visa. I have to go to the Department of Industry and Trade in HCM City to present our documents and get Representative Office permit.
Kindly reply and inform me if you can obtain a visa for my visit to Vietnam.
I await your prompt attention.
Thank you.

Hi,
Once we get the approval letter from you, what are the processes at ho chi minh airport to abtain our visa upon arrival? Do we have to wait in a line? Are there any additional fee at the airport?
For visa on arrival,after you get the visa approval letter, you need to print it out and bring with you when you get to Vietnam. With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 photos, exit and entry form and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Immigration Counter at Vietnam airport. Normally, after landing off Vietnam, you need to wait 15-20 minutes to check your information and stamp your visa.

I am an Australian national who formerly lived in Vietnam for over a year. I am applying for a fiance visa for America and I need a “Power of Attorney” form for Vietnam that allows me to grant Power of Attorney to my friend living in Vietnam so that he can get my “Justice Record Check”.
The only bilingual form I’ve found on-line is a power of attorney for if I’m marrying a Vietnamese national which I’m not.
Where do you think can I obtain the proper form. Power of Attorney for friend in Vietnam so that he can access my “Justice record check”.

I am a Viet kieu from the US. I am currently living in Vietnam. Though my 3 month visa for Vietnam is about to expire in 10 days, can i get it extended for 3 month or 6 months through you guys. I have called travel agencies and they are quoting me for a price of $220 US dollars to do this. Too much considering it only cost me $30 US dollars to get a visa into Vietnam when I arrived to Vietnam. Your help would be nice.
To Michelle,
Your brother can stay in Vietnam until May 9 without any problem. However, when his visa expires, he can meet many difficulties on law on entry and exit as well his current finance.
If possible, your family should arrange flight ticket fee or taking him back UK before his situation get worse.
As your brother is UK, so we can not do anything to help him. We can not interfere his visit if his visa is still valid and he does not make criminal record which directly influence on on our country. We just can say that all depends on your family.
We do hope that you can find the quickest way to take him back home.
Kindly regards,
Bella Bui
To Tony Ly,
Visa extension at this time is more complicated and more charge than ever before. To extend 3 months, the fee can be required up to 200USD.
Of course, getting visa from outside the country is always simpler and quicker than extension while the procedure to lengthen your stay while you are in the country is not simple.
Currently, the maximum duration of a visa in Vietnam is 3 months visa only. It means that you can only apply 3 months visa. If you would like to stay longer, you can apply for visa exemption of Vietnamese overseas offered by Vietnam Government, please click here for detailed guidelines http://mienthithucvk.mofa.gov.vn/. Moreover, if you would like to work in Vietnam, you need to have a work permit.

Hello,
I´m Brazilian and I am an official passport holder. I´m travelling to Hanoi to participate in a conference as a representative of the Brazilian Ministry of Education.

Could you please clarify that?
Thanks,
Anna Nascimento
I am confused. I need to extend my business visa as it expires on May 08. I read on your intro that all I need to do is to go to Immigration here in Hanoi and they will do this. But I read also that extensions can only be done by travel agents. Can you clarify this position. Do I have to use a travel agent or can I go direct to Hang Bia Street??
Hi! I am currently in Vietnam on a C2 visa, which expires in 1 month. I am teaching at a university here. I have the approval of the people’s committee to stay another year so I must apply for another C2 visa. To apply, must I leave the country and then come back? And if so, must I go back to America to apply through the Vietnam embassy in the U.S. like I did the first time? Thank in advance!
I would like to inquire on obtaining Vietnam visas for the following countries: Nigeria, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa and Ghana. We are organizing a workshop in Hanoi and we are inviting staff from different countries. Many VN visa online services did not mention most of countries I listed above; could you tell me if your company can help us on this matter? Your guidance would be most appreciated.
To Anna Nascimento,
In your case, you still need a visa to Vietnam as only for diplomatic passport holders can be exempted Vietnam Visa. Please double check with your Consulate in Brazil about your case.
To M Donnell,
If you would like to change your arrival date in your visa, you can apply for a new visa at Vietnam Embassy(ex:the one you mentioned in Nanning.
1. When your visa is nearly expired, you can extend your visa when you are in Vietnam
2. You can go out of Vietnam and then come to Vietnam Embassies overseas to apply for a new visa.
Hope that this information is clear and helpful to you.
I am completing Vietnam Visa application and place of employment question is on it. Does the embassy want just the name of who I work for with address or just the name of the company or just the address?
Please be kindly noted that for India and South Africa, we can process visa approval letter online for them to get visa stamped at Vietnam airport. However, for Nigeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, they need to come to Vietnam Embassy to get their visa.

In case your visa is expired for 6 days ago, you will pay a big fine for your overstay. You need to extend your visa before you exit Vietnam. At Vietnam airport, Custom will check your information and do not let you exit if your visa is expired for 6 days.

Your guidance would be most appreciated.
Thank you for your attention
Firstly, I would like to give you the instruction on how to have your visa: ( 2 ways)
1. Normally, you can obtain a visa directly at Vietnam Embassy/Consulate Overseas
Take your application, passport, a passport-sized photo, and supporting documents (ex: invitation letters, etc) in person to the Embassy or Consulate, where you will be interviewed about the purpose of your visit. You must also pay an application fee and wait in a few days to get the visa. Please note that the application procedures and fees may vary among countries and embassies/consulates.
2. In case you would like to travel by air: you can apply for Visa on arrival:
Visa on arrival is only applicable for those traveling by air to Vietnam and your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport. For visa on arrival, you apply online at our website www. Vietnam-Visa.com to get visa approval letter after 1 working day (urgent service) or 2-3 working days (normal service). With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 photos and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport.
Secondly, for Indonesian and Philippines citizens, you are can be exempted Vietnam visa for 30 days.
I’m married to a Vietnamese wife and live in Vietnam since a month. At the moment I have a visa exemption, but I can only stay for 90 days in Vietnam and then have to apply for a visa extension or leave the country. I have heard that it is possible now to obtain a 5 year visa (or visa exemption), without applying for a visa extension every 3 month or leaving the country after 90 days . How can I apply for such a visa.
im a malaysian,i bought a air ticket on 15may on this month and leaving on 15june….So,its exceed the one month travel visa..it is alright to be like that or i need to change my air flight ticket???
Answer to Ken Ha: Thank you for contacting us!
Please do not worry about it at all. That duration is considered as 1 month. Thus, you should apply for 1 month entry only and needn’t to change your flight.
I am a US citizen and want to visit an American friend teaching in Hanoi. I’d like to travel throughout Vietnam and Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore over the course of 6 months, with my friend’s place in Hanoi being my “home base.” I know I need a multiple entry visa, but it seems I can only get a 3 month visa currently. Is that correct? Is there any way to get a 6 month visa or extend a 3 month visa so my plans will work? Thanks in advance…
Please be kindly informed that 3 month single/multiple entry is the longest visa that Vietnam Immigration Department issues at present. In case, you would like to stay in Vietnam for 6 months, please inform us 2 weeks ahead your visa expiration date,we are pleased to assist you to extend your visa.
Hopefully, this information is helpful for you. We are waiting for your replies!
hi,
i am from the philippines. we plan to go there on the 22nd of may. do we need to buy a return ticket before we leave manila, or can we just buy it in vietnam? we are thinking about the possibility that we might like to stay there for a longer period if in case things turn out favorable, so we don’t want to waste tickets. we now have tickets mla-sgn, do we need to purchase return tickets here if we intend to stay not more than 21 days?
Please be kindly informed that you do not have to buy any return ticket if you do not like as long as you stay in Vietnam less than 21 days as your exemption.

Hi There. I’m on a C2 3 month single entry tourist visa. I would like to know what is the maximum visa extension, can you extend for 3 months? Also what is the price for either a 1 month or 3 month extension? Thanks very much.
Does he need a visa ?
My son has a vietnamese passport which is less than one year old. He recently became a US citizen and changed his first name to an English name, from Phuc to Phil and now also has a US passport under his new first name. So the question is how does he travel to vietnam ? Which name should he use for his airline ticket, and does he need a visa ? If he buys a ticket under the name phil when he checks in at the US end can he show both his passports and not require a visa even though the first name is different on each passport? And the same when he returns ? Or does he need a vietnam visa/should get one just in case?
Thank you…
In case your son has two valid passports: US and Vietnam passport,he can use Vietnamese passport and his full name shown in Vietnamese passport to enter Vietnam without a visa.
In case your son has valid US passport but Vietnam passport is abandoned when registering US nationality, he needs to apply for Vietnam visa with US passport and full name in this passport to enter Vietnam.
I’m flying to Ho Chi Minh on Monday 31 May morning at short notice because my flight was canceled this morning so I don’t have time to get a Visa Approval Letter. can I get into Vietnam on arrival?
My daughter has British passport. I’m holding Vietnamese passport. I’m taking her back to Vietnam for one year or two. Can i apply for a long term visa for her?
In your case, we recommend you to apply for 3 month single entry for your daughter, then when you are in Vietnam, please go in person to the Immigration Department where your family is living to apply for resident card for her.
Dear Julia:
I am chinese with work permit in bangkok thailand.I want vietnam business visa for 2-3 month but ambassy told me just approval 1 month ,I want to know can i extend the visa duration of 1-2 month in Vietnam, what kind of documents needed.
thanks!
I originally got a 3 month visa back in January 2010 and have since extended my visa twice for 1 month each time. I am looking to get 1 more visa extension for 3 months. Could you tell me if this is possible?
In your case, you have extended your visa twice, we recommend you go out of Vietnam and apply for a new Vietnam visa as it is impossible to extend your visa now.
At that time, there are two options for you:
1. If you re-enter Vietnam by air, we can assist you with visa on arrival ONLINE at our website Vietnam-Visa.com.
2. If you travel by land, we recommend you to apply directly new visa at Vietnam Embassies/Consulates in country where you will be staying.
We do hope this information is clear and helpful for you.

Hello, I have a wife and daughter in Vietnam. How many times can I extend my visa? Is there a way for me to stay here permanently without losing my US citizenship?
I am currently residing in Beijing and planning on going to vietnam. I was thinking of getting my visa online via your website but I realized that you need to obtain your visa at the airport. If I am not flying into the Vietnam airport but instead, coming from one of the neighbouring countries like Laos, will I be able to cross the border w/out the visa on my passport? Or do I need to fly into a Vietnam airport?
Like H, I am asking how many times we can extend a visa. I understand that an agency can extend only once, but what is the law or policy? I entered with a 3-month visa and extended it once. Can I extend it again (one more time, for a maximum of two extensions) in Vietnam? Or do I need to leave the country?
We would like to inform that at present we can only provide visa on arrival (Visa to be picked up at the arrival airport in Vietnam).
In your case, you are suggested to come directly to Vietnamese Embassy/ Consulate where you are living or staying to obtain your Vietnam visa there.
You need to take your passport, a passport-sized photo, and cash in person to the Consulate, where you will be interviewed about the purpose of your visit. You must also pay the stamping fee and wait in a few days to get the visa. Please note that the application procedures and fees may vary among countries and embassies/consulates.
Please be kindly noted that you need not have to show any air ticket there.
We do hope that this information is clear and helpful for you.

As such, you can be assured that everything is genuine and your passport will be safe. The runner will take your passport, bring it to to the embassy and then return it to you at the place you’re staying.

Moreover, please be kindly noted that there are two kinds of fees:
- Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to process the visa approval letter for you.
- Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.

You must also pay the stamping fee and wait in a few days to get the visa. Please note that the application procedures and fees may vary among countries and embassies/consulates.
We do hope that this information is clear and helpful for you to decide to use what type of visa. We are willing and please to serve you at our best!
Hi there,
I am currently in vietnam on a 3 month tourist visa which i’ve had extended once already for 3 months. I went to extend it again at a travel agent and they said they could do it for one more month then i would have to leave vietnam and make a new visa.
Then today when i went to pick up my passport they told me they could only extend it for 10 more days and that i would have to go back to my home country (england) first before being able to get a new visa???? Is this really true??
other people have sad that i just need to leave vietnam for a few days, (say go to thailand or cambodia) then go to an embassy there and make a new 3 month tourist visa!!!
Obviously the lady telling me i need to go back home before i can get a new visa has got me worried!!!(have no plans to go back for a year or 2) Is there a limit of how many times you can get a tourist visa in a certain length of time?? i find it hard to believe that i actually have to go all the way back to england to be able to come back to vietnam!!
Many thanks James
I have 5 years multiple entries visa, however I can stay only 3 months on time. My family live here and I would like to extend my stay for 3-6 months without leaving Vietnam and come back. Is that possible and how?

Hi, I am hoping you can help me with the following questions:
1) do i need a multiple entry visa for Vietnam?
2) can you tell me what is the best way to apply for a Cambodia visa?
3) can we do visa on arrival with our itinerary or must we apply for one before we leave our home country, Canada?
This is a summary of our itinearay: we are arriving in Hanoi Airport. From Hanoi, we are flying to Siem Reap, then we board a cruise ship at Tonle Sap Lake and sail to Phnom Penh and make the border crossing to Tan Chau. We sail all the way to Ho Cho Minh City then fly back home from there. The length of our trip is 15 days.
Thank you!
Please be kindly informed that you wouldn’t like to exit and enter Vietnam every 3 month, you can have your visa extended when it is nearly to 3 month validity. Thus, you do not need to go out of Vietnam during 6 months or more.
Please be kindly informed that you can not change anything in your done visa.Thus, it is impossible to change your purpose of visa from tourist to business once you find a job here in Vietnam.
However, as any 3 month single/multiple entries at any purposes will be automatically changed to “business” ones. Therefore, please do not worry if you are holding a 3 month single/multiple entry.
Hope that this information will release your concerns.
We are happy to answer all of your questions as follows:
1. You do need to apply for 1 month multiple entry as you will enter and exit Vietnam twice.
2. You are kindly advised to contact directly Cambodian Embassy in your country to apply for Cambodian visa in advance.
3. Please be kindly informed that you must apply for Vietnam visa prior to your trip as you can not get board without Vietnam visa approval letter.
We do hop this information is clear and helpful for you.
We have just tried to apply for a visa to Vietnam. However it keeps saying we don’t need it beeing Danish cityzens. That is only s correct, since we have to leave within 15 days. That forces us to book the tickets asap, rather than spending a few days more.So what to do ?
We would like to getthe visa on email, so we could stay between 15 days and a month.

Hi, I’m having holidays in Hoian from Aug.19 to 23 with my fiance. Flights and hotels are all booked and paid, but my fiance is still waiting for his visa. I’m Korean so no need visa but my fiance is Morocaan. We’re currently living in Shanghai, China so he applied for his visa on last thursday in vientmaese consulate in shanghai. Since our departure date is only 3 days ahead, i’m totally frustrated…
we provided all booking details to the consulate and calling them everyday but no one there speaks english and the chinese guy who answers the phone is completely rude… if we speaks english, he hung up the phone on us…!i ask my chinese assistant to call him everyday, he just tell us that he doesn’t know when they can issue the visa.
I don’t think they will refuse to issue visa to my fiance but can’t get rid of doubt…
can you help me how we can make sure to get the visa before thursday? is there anyway to push them to correspond to people who want to spend money in their country more properly?

We are sorry to hear about your story. However, we have no relationship with Vietnam Embassy in Shanghai, China as we are a travel agency based in Hanoi, Vietnam, not a governmental agency. Thus, we can not do anything to help you in this case.
Please be kindly informed that you do not submit your air ticket once applying Vietnam visa. It is not very important.
Regarding visa extension, you can contact with any travel agency in Vietnam to assist you for extending your visa once it expires. Other while, you can do it yourself by getting it extended directly at Vietnam Immigration Department.

My wife and I are US Citizens and we fly into Hanoi on September 9th at around 9pm. However, we just realized that our Vietnam Tourist Visa’s we recieved in the US have a start date of September 10th. Will we run into problems arriving a few hours before our Visa start date? What should we do in this case?
I recently applied and was approved for a Vietnam Visa on arrival. I was not paying attention and punched in a date later than I wanted to arrive. Is it poosible to change to an earlier date and change my departure date to a later date. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Documents of students in Vietnam are required to be attested in Vietnam Embassy, Delhi for submitting in Cyprus. What are the charges and timings of attestation.
Hey there,
I have a bit of a predicament. We recently got our 3 month multi entry visas, however now I need to work longer and can’t fly out until the 7th of December. Our Visas are from the 23rd of November until the 25th of Febuary. We now want to arrive on the 8th of december and leave on the 22nd of March. We are only spending a month in VIetnam and then going on to the rest of the Mekong region but we need to be able to get back in as our plane leaves from Hanoi. So we would be arriving spending a month and then coming back only for a few days to catch our flight home. Before this was all covered under our 3 month visa but it is no longer. Is it possible for me to get an extension of a month on my multiple entry three month once I arrive in Hanoi? Thank you for your time Regards Zoe (I am Asutralian if that matters)
Please be kindly informed that we can not change anything in your done visa approval letter at present.
Anyways, please be kindly informed that your visa duration is valid from 3rd September to 3rd October. I.e. you can enter and exit Vietnam at anytime between these two date.
Please be kindly informed that to welcome foreigners to Vietnam, the Vietnam Immigration Department allows foreigners to enter Vietnam one day earlier than the arrival date noted in their Vietnam visa approval letter.
However, there are several airlines which do not permit their clients to get onto their plane earlier than their arrival date. So please double check with your airline to make sure that whether you can arrive earlier or not.
We do hope that this information is clear and helpful for you. We are willing and please to serve you at our best!
Please be kindly informed that your visa duration is valid from the date of arrival to the date of exit printed in your done visa approval letter. I.e. you can enter Vietnam after your date of arrival and you must exit Vietnam before the date of exit.
Hopefully this information is clear and helpful for you.
Why i can not pay via online for my VOA? Is their any problem with your system todays holiday in Vietnam? My visa card always rejected but when i used to other item theirs no problem. Your immediate response is highly appreciated.
I was planning to go to Vietnam to teach English and I’ve heard that its now essential to have a work visa to teach and earn money.
Of the work visa requirements, I have a Bachelors Degree (as well as a Masters). I was also planning to get a CELTA (Tefl training) qualification as soon as I arrive in Vietnam. BUTone of the requirements of the work visa application, I’ve read, is a Criminal Record Check…
Firstly, I’ve read that this CR check has to come from my country origin/residence: I’m in Asia already and dont want to go back to the UK before heading to Vietnam- can I sort out this Criminal Record check when I get there?
Secondly, and most importantly, I have a Drink Driving/DUI conviction (from the UK, a year ago): most people consider this to be a minor crime/conviction, but it is a crime/conviction nevertheless, so it would appear on any check- I assume(?); but would the flashing-up of such a minor conviction block my application for a work visa?
Is so, i’ll have to scrap my dream of working in Vietnam. Sadly.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
my wife is Vietnamese, and has vietnamese and British passports. We are going to enter with her Vietnamese passport. We are going back to Vietnam from 19 Nov 10 to 10 Dec 10, and her vietnamese passport expires on 16/05/2011. As she is using her Vietnamese passport to enter Vietnam, does it matter if it will have less than 6 months validity.
Thanks and regards,
Phil
thank you for your kind assistance. I have already got visa exemption certificate for myself and our daughter so there is no problem. One more question – will my wife still be able to renew her Vietnamese passport when it expires, even though she now has British citizenship/British passport? i understand the law now says she can maintain both passports/nationalities.

Me and my husband are planning to go to Vietnam and possibly stay for about 6 months. I would like to volunteer in a children organisation and my husband would like to teach English. I can imagine that because I won’t earn any money I will be allowed to stay with an extended tourist visa. But what worries me is that my husband does not have a degree: he has professional experience and a CELTA certificate so I was wondering if it would be possible for him to get a business visa once he has found employment in a language school in Vietnam.
Thank you for your help

I applied for Vietnam visa in San Francisco, USA by mail. It returned with a note and no visa on passport. The note was that (refused by the immigration office in Vietnam). The next day I went to Vietnam embassy in San Francisco. She said, they can’t do anything. She told me to call the immigration in Vietnam, but no phone number and told me to search for. I had call these two number 844 38257941 and 844 38264026 no support information for visa application.
Do I need to apply for approve letter or code? Where do I need to apply for the approve letter and visa?
Is it any other chance to apply for Vietnam visa?

You only can apply for visa on line at our website if you travel to Vietnam by Air. In case you travel by land you should ask for visa at Vietnam Embassy/ Consulate in your place.
hi, am from Peru and i am plannig to be in Vietnam next month arriving by plane. today i just recieve my visa approval letter and downloaded the aplication for entry and exit. At the bottom of the aplication for entry and exit it indicates that i must fill 2 forms and submit one form to the vietnam visa issuing office and the other to the frontier police post upon my arrival.
If i am arriving by plane and there is no Vietnam visa issuing office in Peru, to whom should i submit the first form?, i understand that the second form should be submited to the airport office?
I am already in Vietnam and I don’t have a visa because my stay will only last for 18 days so I am exempted from getting visa. What will I do if I want to extend my stay? Where will I apply for visa?
Hoping someone can help me. I was born in Vietnam but have been in Australia for over 30yrs and this year 2011 will be my first time back in Vietnam. I don’t have a Vietnamese passport but do have an Australian passport.
Will I have any problem getting into the country? I think I still have to get a tourist visa like everyone else, right?

A friend and I are planning a trip to Myanmar and Vietnam in February. I’m American and he’s Canadian. Do we apply for a Visa first with the Myanmar consulate, get our passports back, and then send it to you for a Vietnamese Visa? Our concern is how long this process will take as our trip is coming really soon. Looking forward to your advice. Thank you.
@ Susie,
Please inform that if you travel to Vietnam by Air, you had better apply for visa on arrival at our website. We do not require passport when you apply online. For urgent service your visa approval letter will be ready after 1 working day and for normal service it takes you 2 or 3 working days.
Hope that we will have chance to serve you at our best!

In your case, you are kindly advised to apply for a visa on arrival. This is a more simpler and easier way than the other. For visa on arrival, you apply online at our website http://www.V ietnam-Visa.com, pay the service fee to get visa approval letter after 1 working day (urgent) or 2-3 working days (normal service). With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 passport photos at any size and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport.
Moreover, please be kindly noted that there are two kinds of fees:
- Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to process the visa approval letter for you.
- Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.
We do hope this information is clear and helpful for you.
I’m a student with dual Turkish/South African citizenship, and am hoping to fly to Vietnam in early March. It turns out that my sponsor can’t ask for visa approval; should I apply for a visa on arrival? Barring that, what are my options?
I am a student from Nepal, studying in Japan. I am scheduled to attend a symposium in Hue and visit sites in Danang from 2nd March to 9 March. A week ago I had applied for a visa at Osaka Consular office. Today, a staff called me and told that my visa application has been rejected. However, the staff suggested me, if I like I can try applying for arrival visa with a document from University stating reasons for traveling to Vietnam. Please suggest.
Thank You.

Hi Susan
Please advise of what is the best way to go about bringing $200,000 Australian Dollars into Vietnam to purchase a property in Vietnam.
I have read the news that Vietnamese Prime Minister asked the Vietnam Immigration Department to remove the Customs Declaration Form when entry and exit Vietnam.
Do I still need to complete a form or something about this amount of money when enter Vietnam at Tan Son Nhat Airport?
I am worried that I might have issues in bringing the money back out of Vietnam if my property purchase failed.

How long is a visa in Vietnam???
Apply for 10 year expiry visa to enter Vietnam?
Can I arrival after my requested date of entry online Vietnam visa???
How can I extend visa in Vietnam???
What do I need to send to the Vietnam embassy to get my letter of approval???
ANSWER to Richarson:
1. How long is a visa in Vietnam?
It depends on how long you would stay in Vietnam. Normally, there are 4 types of visa duration in VN: 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year (special type). For eg., if you gonna stay in VN for, say, 20 days, you have to apply for 1-month visa (single or multiple).
2. Apply for 10 year expiry visa to enter Vietnam?
For a 10-YEAR STAY, no entry visa can allow applicants to stay that long (even when extending, only one-month more is added). So you have to contact the Vietnamese Government (Vietnam Immigration Dept) directly to specially ask for such a special long-stay permission. (They might or might not allow; it depends on your particular case)
3. Can I arrival after my requested date of entry online Vietnam visa?
Yes. (But you have to leave on the right date cited on the visa)
4. How can I extend visa in Vietnam???
You can extend your visa by getting to the Vietnam Immigration Dept in Vietnam in person with your passport before your visa expiry date. You will get the answer after around 5 days. The fee is from 10-100 USD depending upon your particular type of visa.
5. What do I need to send to the Vietnam embassy to get my letter of approval???
To apply for a visa to Vietnam at Vietnam Embassy in your country, you have to submit your Passport (valid 6 months), application form (filled out), 2 photos (2x2in), visa fee, and pre-paid return envelope (in case you submit by mail carriage). Please note that you require an Approval Letter (for which you may have to pay some more fee). The processing time might be about 5-7 days.
You can also contact us at http://www.vietnam-visa.com to get a Vietnam Visa approval letter.
There’s also another quicker way to apply for a Vietnam visa, that is, selecting Visa on Arrival (to be collected on arrival at Vietnam International airport) by going online with us at http://www.vietnam-visa.com . You can get your visa approval letter after only 2 or 3 days (normal) and 1 day (urgent). For more details, please feel free to contact us. Thanks and Best Regards!
what is the best way to get a visa to vietnam?
ANSWER to Philip J:
We don’t know how long you gonna stay in Vietnam, yet, in any case, the fastest and easiest way to get a visa to Vietnam is applying online for a Visa on Arrival. You will get your Visa Approval Letter after 2-3 working days (normal) or 1 working day (urgent). The only thing you have to do is to fill in this secure online form at https://secure.vietnam-visa.com/apply.html, pay the fee, and get your approval letter after 2-3 days. There’ll be some mails to instruct you how to use the approval letter later on.
The other way is to get normal Vietnam entry visa (to be received before traveling) directly at Vietnam Embassy in your country. This takes time (around 4-10 days) and requires many procedures. So the former is better! Tks and Best Regards!
I’m Australia passport holder, do i need to apply visa to enter Vietnam as a tourist ?
ANSWER to Molly:
Australian passport holders do need a tourist visa to enter Vietnam as a tourist. To know how to get Vietnam Visa from Australia, please read here http://www.vietnam-visa.com/blog/get-vietnam-visa-in-australia
Good luck!
how about if you work there and have working permit?
how about if you work there and no work permit? what the consolate do to the people
ANSWER to Romsie:
In any case you always need a visa to Vietnam. If you have a work permit, your office in Vietnam who will work with you here will get a visa for you, and surely you can get a long-term visa.
If you do not have a work permit, you have to apply for a tourist visa. Good luck!

Hi, I am Canadian citizen, currently living in China (Nanning) on a 1-year resident permit. I plan to visit Vietnam during spring festival. Should I get a visa from Nanning before I go?
ANSWER to Fernandes,
We are very pleased to receive your email with the very good news that you like our service at http://www.vietnam-visa.com. We do hope that you have had a great time in Vietnam, and long to serve you more in the future!
ANSWER to Dominic,
In your case, we suggest you apply for a visa code at http://www.vietnam-visa.com, and use it to pick up your visa at the Embassy in Beijing, or the Consulate in Guangzhou, since there’s no Vietnamese consulate in Nanning. Click here http://www.vietnam-visa.com to apply for the visa code.
Of if you gonna travel by air, you’d be best to apply for a visa on arrival (to pick up visa at arrival airport). Apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com!
Good luck!
I will probably be travelling into Vietnam by bus from Nanning to Hanoi. Can I get a visa when I get off the bus if I have applied on line first and received my approval letter? If not what is the best way to get the visa?
Thanks
Alice
ANSWER to Alie Smith:
Visa on arrival is only applied for those who travel by air to Vietnam. If you go by bus, the only way to enter Vietnam is to get a visa before hand at the Vietnam Embassy/Consulate in your country.
You could still apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com for a visa code. After 1 or 2 days (from payment), you will receive it via email. You will wait about 2 days more (except weekend days) to print it out and bring it to the Embassy/Consulate to ask for the visa to be stamped onto your passport (pay some stamping fee, about some tens of US dollars). Remember to call us right away in case the Embassy has not received the fax of your case from Vietnam Immigration! Good luck!
I arrived in Vietnam early January with a valid Australian passport and a Vietnam Visa issued to me in Australia. Due to further travel plans I have been issued (at the Australian Consulate in Ho Chi Mien) a new Australian passport (of longer duration). In order to leave Vietnam next week, is my Vietnam Visa in original passport still valid? If not I am very concerned as to how to obtain another with all the public holidays .
Hi, I am Iranian, currently living in Malaysia and have student visa. I plan to visit Vietnam on april. Should I get a visa from kuala lumpur before I go?

Would it be possible to acquire a tourist visa at the Vietnamese Embassy in Beijing? If so could you inform me of what I would need (application form, passport photo etc) and also how much time to allow for processing a visa.
Many thanks for your time,

Is it at all possible to enter Vietnam overland from China and get a visa on arrival？Or should i
have applied for one beforehand?
Answer to Ja.
The Vietnam Government only agree to issue visa for tourist who is holding at least 6 months validity passport. In your specific case, you should come to the Immigration in your country to renew your passport. The process may take from 2-3 days to 10 days.
Answer to Chloe:
There are two kinds of date: arrival date and registered date. The arrival date is the date you will come to Vietnam while registered date is the date cited on your visa. You can come later but no sooner than the registered date. For instance, if your registered date cited on the visa is March 7, it means you can come later than March 7 Jan but no sooner than March 7 as well as leave sooner but no later than the leaving date. Thus, it’s suitable for you to come to Vietnam on March 8.Thus, your Vietnam Visa in original passport still valid. You should contact with embassy before the traditional new year because I am afraid that all offices in Vietnam close in that days. Good luck!
Answer to Forough:
We are very sorry to inform that, at present, the Vietnamese Government do not accept entry for citizens from some nations including yours. This might be due to some political matters, which are really out of our expectation.
We are sorry that we – as a travel agency – cannot do anything now to help you at present. We suggest you contact directly with the Vietnam Immigration for your specific case. Please see the below for contact of the Vietnam Immigration Dept for direct contacting:

Liam
Answer to Tan,
If you are holding Malaysian passport (Malaysian nationality), you are visa – exempted to Vietnam less than 30 days. It means you can enter Vietnam without visa during 30 days.
Regards!
Answer to Geoff,
There are two kinds of Visa – visa on arrival and Visa code.
You should apply for visa on arrival if you enter Vietnam by air, single visa for one entry and multiple visa for multiple entry. If you are planning to stay in Vietnam for about 5 days you should apply for Visa on arrival 1 month single.
In case you enter Vietnam by land, you are suggested to apply for visa code (getting your visa code at the Vietnam Embassy and Consulate in your country). We will send your approval code to the Embassy in your country and you will come there to get your visa stamped. Yet, visa code will require time and cause you inconvenient!
If you go by air, Visa on arrival would be best!
Regards!
Answer to Liam,
You do not need to show any evidence that you will leave Vietnam before your expired date cited on your visa. If you are having Visa On arrival, the Vietnam Immigration Officer will check your passport or put a mark on your visa to show that your time in Vietnam is over.
when you check in at the border (if you used visa code), your passport which is attached with your visa will be carefully checked. It is not a serious matter!

Do I need a Vietnam visa if I am only changing planes in Vietnam? Final destination is Laos.
Answer to Craig,
If you only transit in Vietnam for few hours before taking another flight to other country,there are two cases for you:
- If you only stay in the waiting room of the Vietnam airport without going out, you do not need a Vietnam visa.
- If you transit in Vietnam but you will go out of the airport for relaxing before taking the new flight, you will need a Vietnam visa.

If you are holding the Nigerian nationality, we are afraid to say that you should directly contact the Vietnam Immigration Office in Vietnam to ask for your case as progressing visa for you is not easy for us.

Once you get a single visa,there is no way to change to multiple one. In your specific case, you should apply for new one.
Can i change my 1 month tourist visa for Vietnam into a business/ working one whilst remaining in vietnam, as a teaching opportunity has arisen and i am unsure of my options.
Thanks in advance…
Dear Michael T,
There is no considerable difference between tourism visa and business visa. You do not need to much worry about that. Yet, as far as we understand, you are in Vietnam right now, for secure feelings, you can apply for new business visa. Personally talking, it is not so necessary.

Hi,
I fly out to Bankok in May for 4 months before going onto Australia and will at some point be visiting Vietnam for a couple of weeks. If I apply for a visa on arrival will it be valid from the date I arrive in Vietnam or will I have to specify dates before hand, as I don’t know what they’ll be as yet?
Thanks
Answer to Jess:
We would like to answer your question as follows:
There are two kinds of date: arrival date and registered date. The arrival date is the date you will come to Vietnam while registered date is the date cited on your visa. You can enter Vietnam 1 day earlier than the arrival date cited on the visa and 1 day later than the departure date cited on the visa. For instance, if your registered date cited on the visa is March 7, it means you can come to Vietnam later than March 7or you can come on March 6 as the earliest.
We hope that the information above is clear and helpful for you!
I am very grateful that you guys have made the effort to answer the very important questions which travellers to Vietnam have. Now my question is, I am an iranian born Canadian Citizen. would I be able to travel and obtain visa to Vietnam?
Many thanks
Andrew Barouei
Answer to Andrew,
If you are holding the Iran passport, you should come in person to the Vietnam Embassy and Consulate in Iran/Canada to ask for your visa. If you are holding the Canada passport, you can pick up your visa on arrival at Vietnam airports. Visa on arrival is very easy and convenient for you!
I need to go to Viet Nam for a conference in Ha Noi tomorrow. I am USA citizen in Bangkok right now. Is there anyway to get everything done in time? The conference is starts tomorrow and is only 3 days long. I can go to embassy in the morning but will I get it in time?
I have a 1 year work visa for Vietnam. I wish to renew it. However, I no longer employed by a Vietnamese company. If I wish to renew, can I just pay fees or must I show proof of employment with a new Sponsorship letter from a VN employer?
Answer to Jon,
If you intend to enter Vietnam on 22nd, you should apply for super urgent service (plus $25 with normal service)which only take the Vietnam Immigration Office a half of a day to complete your visa. This kind of service will not appear on our site as it is only suggested in a emergency case like yours. Please send your super urgent service fee by logging in PayPal and pay us directly at order@vietnam-visa.com. Or you can pay through Xoom or Western Union instead. Right after receiving your payment, we will progress the visa for you and you will receive it at 12noon Vietnamese hours GMT+7 22nd April 2009 as latest.
Answer to Riki Pavelec,
If you are holding a 1 year visa, you should come to a nearest Vietnamese travel agency to ask for renewing. You just pay the renew fee and wait from a week to 10 days. Normally, you can renew your 1 year visa several times and the fee would be $225. You should contact http://www.huongviettravel.com for more details.

I am an Indian going to Hanoi for attending an exhibition via Bangkok connecting flight on 26 May and returning to Bangkok on 30 or 31 May 2009.
Please inform the easiest and cheapest visa for me for Vietnam. Any other legal requirements also if required. I am getting my Thai visa from my country. I can not contact the Vietnam Embassy in Mumbai – all numbers given are wrong. Please help.
Answer to Kakashi,
If you want to stay in Vietnam 1 month more, you are required to get a 1 month Vietnam visa. If you want to stay more than 1 month, you will need a 3 months visa.
You can visit http://www.vietnam-visa.com to apply for a new visa. We will send the done visa approval letter to you after 2-3 days (normal service) and within 1 day (urgent service).
Then, we will have many instructions to carefully guide you for you to be confident at Vietnam airport.
Hi there. I am a uk citizen planning to enter vietnam overland from china. I am leaving to go on a world trip in july and anticipate reaching vietnam by october- but do not know any exact date yet. Can i, as a uk national, apply for a vietnam visa at the vietnamese consulate in hong kong? and would 3 working days in hong kong be enough time to get this done?
Answer to Rob,
As a UK citizen, you can apply for Vietnam visa. There are two ways to get Vietnam Visa from Hong Kong as follows:
1. Get Vietnam Visa through Vietnam Consulate in Hong Kong
Contact Vietnam Consulate in Hong Kong:
Address: 15/F, Great Smart Tower, 230 Wan Chai Road
Wan Chai, Hongkong
Tel: (852) 2591 4517 / 2591 4510
Fax: (852) 2591 4524 / 2591-4539
How to get there? You go to Wan Chai road, you will see Great Smart Tower Building. Enter from Canal Road East and it is not far from there.
2. Get Vietnam Visa on arrival via online service
The considered quicker and easier way to get Visa to Vietnam from Hong Kong is to apply online for a Visa on Arrival. However, this method is applicable to air travel only.

Answer to Samal,
The Vietnam Immigration Department suggest that it would be quicker for you to directly come to Vietnam Embassy in your country, to pick up your visa. Your passport and information will be carefully checked in advance by them to avoid any troubles when you come to Vietnam.
We are sorry that we – as a travel agency – cannot do anything now to help you at present. We suggest you contact directly with the Vietnam Immigration for your specific case.

Hi I plan to directly apply for visas on behalf of my family to the Vietnamese Embassy in Hong Kong where I live. Can you please confirm the price of a visa for a 5 week visit to Vietnam. Please note that we intend to fly into Vietnam and continue immediately on a flight to Cambodia for a week returning to Vietnam for the full 5 weeks. Any problems with this? Thanks.
Answer to Barry,
First of all, please kindly confirm us the followings:
-How long you will stay at the Vietnam airport? You just transit at the Vietnam airport before flying to Cambodia or you will stay in Vietnam for few days?
-When you enter Vietnam from Cambodia, will you enter Vietnam by air or by land?
Please kindly forward all your questions and answers to our email : support@vietnam-visa.com. We will take care of your case better!
Hi im a colombian citizen and i will be travelling to vietnam in 2 weeks, first i will be in hong kong for 5 days, is it possible to get the visa from the vietnamese consulate in hong kong? if so, do i need the visa code? and how long will it take for me to get the visa stamped on my passport.
thank you very much
sorry, i didnt mention that i plan on going to vietnam by land from nanning.
Answer to Alejandro Ordonez,
In some countries as China, Laos, Cambodia, the process of getting a visa code is very quick and convenient. Therefore, we suggest that you should go there by yourself to pick up the visa code. In this case, you do not have to pay the service fee any more, just only stamping fee.
Ok. We will be in transit going through Ho Chi Minh to Cambodia and flying back into Vietnam.
Also is it easier to apply for an extension to the 30 day Vietnam visa once you are in Vietnam than apply online here in Hong Kong or can I not do that in Hong Kong anyway? And if I can what is the cost difference?
Regards and thanks for your prompt reply!
Barry
Answer to Barry,
If you enter Vietnam by air, you should apply for visa 3 months multiple. This kind of visa will let you enter and exit Vietnam many times within 3 months. You can enter Vietnam whenever you want in 3 months.
If you want to extend your visa, you must extend it in Vietnam, not in Hongkong. Yet, in order to do that, you must have a visa already and then, you extend it.In Hongkong, you can only pick up your visa code in Vietnam Embassy. The fee for getting the visa code varies between countries so we are impossible to cover all.
Yet, you should apply for visa on arrival 3 months. If you just transit Vietnam for the first time and do not go out the waiting room of the Vietnam airport, you do not need a Vietnam Visa.
Hello, thanks for your helpful site!
I have the following question: I will be staying in Vietnam on a tourist visa in July. I am a Dutch citizen and can easily get a Vietnam visa here in Cambodia where I am right now. After spending this month in Vietnam, I plan to extend the visa for the month of August because my boyfriend will come to visit me to travel in Vietnam together for 3 to 4 weeks.
My boyfriend is a Korean. I have understood that citizens of South Korea do not need a visa for Vietnam, they can stay in the country without visa for 15 days.
However, we want to travel longer than 15 days. Question is: should he get a Vietnam 30 day tourist visa before entering the country, or can he extend the 15 days when he is already in Vietnam? How long would that take, and how much does it cost?
Given the fact that we will be traveling and do not want to be stuck in a city for a long time waiting for his passport to come back, would it overall be more convenient for him to just get a normal 30 day tourist visa to begin with? Thanks!
Answer to Evelien,
If you enter Vietnam by air, you and your friend should apply for visa 1 month. Your guy does not need Vietnam visa for 15 days visits, yet, he should apply a visa for 1 month because the process of getting the visa extend is long and the service fee for extending is normally high.
What you need to do is very simple as follows:
-You apply online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com
-Settle the payment (service fee) as per instructions
- Receive your visa approval letter after 1working day (urgent service), and 2 or 3 working days (normal service) via email
- You print the letter out and bring it together with your photos + passport +some dollars pay the Vietnam Immigration Officer to get your visa stamped in arrival airport in Vietnam and pick up your visa there.
And now, you are ready to enter Vietnam!
There are two kinds of fees: service fee and stamping fee.
- Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to proceed the visa for you.
- Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.
If you enter Vietnam by land, you should apply the visa code by yourself at the Vietnam Embassy in Cambodia. You do not need to apply through our service as the process of getting the visa there is quick!

Welcome to Vietnam!
Im Vietnamese,i have the CARD de SEJOUR from France.Do i need to get visas both countries Vietnam-France to go in and out while my card is value??
Answer to Van,
If you are Vietnamese with Vietnamese passport, you don’t need visa to come to Vietnam.
If you are Vietnamese overseas with different nationality shown in your passport (like French, Austrian, US…), you are offered visa exemption to enter Vietnam by the Vietnamese Government. Please kindly click here for detailed guidelines http://mienthithucvk.mofa.gov.vn/.
However, if you would like to avoid all the procedures at the Embassy, and require a visa to Vietnam quickly, we will get your visa on arrival done upon your request (via email or phone)! And it will be completed after 2 working days from your request!
In case you are Vietnamese live in France, Australia, US… with green card (card de sejour), you are required visa to come to Vietnam. Please scan it and send us by email so we can do the visa for you.
Regards,
Thank very much for your reply.
Sorry,I go clearer my quetion:

For holding Chinese Passport residing in Singapore. Can i apply the visa NOW , If my travel period is on 24 December to 29 December 2009 ?
Thanks for the concern and appreciated.
I recently received a 6-month single-entry visa through VN embassy. I plan to come to Vietnam for September and October, possibly longer. If I leave, then need to return before the 6-month period is over, will the embassy issue me a new visa? Or do I need to wait until the 6-month visa is over?
Answer to Jean,
In your case, Vietnam Embassy will issue a new visa for you. However, we suggest if you enter and exit Vietnam many times, that you should apply for 6-month multiple visa. It’s cheaper and more convenient for you!
Regards!
Hello
My visa has been issued for the period between 21st august to 4th september. Unfortunately, I could only get to Vietnam on 2nd september, which would leave me not much time to enjoy. Is there a way to change the validity of my visa on arrival?
Answer to Rodrigo,
Normally, Vietnam Immigration Dept usually issues the Visa for clients in 1 month. For example, from 21 August to 21 September. In your case, you should double check your visa. If it only valid from 21 August to 4 September, you can extend your visa when you are in Vietnam or you can renew your visa with the new arrival date and exit day.
Best regards.

Hi,
My wife and I will be traveling to Vietnam in the next couple of days. We will arrive from China, and will be crossing to Vietnam through the Lao Cai border. We both already have a visa to Vietnam that we requested in Canada (country where we live) and we are traveling with a Mexican and a Colombian passport respectively.
My question is, Does the visa need to say which crossing will we be using? We have red in a couple of books that it is neccesary that the visa states which crossing we will use. The form that we submitted in Canada when we requested our visas stated that we will cross to Vietnam through Lao Cai. But the visas in our passports does not have that information printed anywhere.
Thank you for your help.
Alberto
To Alberto,
There are two ways you can get the visa code.
Firstly, you can apply Visa directly at the Vietnam embassy or Consulates in the country you are living or staying in. The stamping fees for getting the visa code do vary depending upon the country (normally, upward $50/pax).
Secondly, by using our service, you can get your Vietnam visa entry conveniently. We will help you to apply visa code through the Vietnam Immigration Office then, they will send your visa approval code directly to The Vietnam Embassy or Vietnam Consulate in the country you are living or staying in where you just bring your passport to receive the visa to entry to Vietnam (You should go to the Embassy after receiving our approval code from us 2 days later because Vietnam Embassy/Consulate needs time to check your information with the Vietnam Immigration Department). The service fee will be online paid us to progress the approval code. The stamping fee will be paid at the Embassy directly to get your stamp! This fee will be different in each country.
In some countries as China, Laos, Cambodia, the process of getting a visa code is very quick and convenient. Therefore, we suggest that you should go there by yourself to pick up the visa code. In this case, you do not have to pay the service fee any more, just only stamping fee.
Many thanks and best regards!

G’day
I’m a Malaysian citizen currently applying for permanent residency in Australia. The Australian government require I provide police checks in every country I’ve lived in for the past 10 years for more than 12 months. I’ve lived in Saigon for 3 years.
How can I apply for the police check, or maybe a letter of good conduct in Vietnam?
Thank you so much for your time.
Zaki
Just to add, I did some research and it can be called a “Justice Record Check” too.
To Norzaki Mizan,
In your case, you can contact Police at the place you was living in Vietnam to ask about procedure of having a Justice Record Check (In Vietnam, normally it called Criminal Record).

Hello,
I’m a US citizen, and I received an approved multiple-entry visa for a 1 month stay in Vietnam, but I now need to change the valid dates. Currently, it’s valid from Dec. 11, 2009 – Jan. 11, 2010, however I need it to be valid from Dec. 2, 2009 – Jan 2., 2010 as I plan to go into the country earlier. Since I am traveling through SE Asia and am not in one city for more than a few days at a time, what’s the best (and most convenient) way to update or change the valid dates of my visa? I’m near Chiang Mai in Thailand at this time.
Thank you,
Winnie
To Winnie Wong,
You can not get to Vietnam on December 2 with your ready-done visa. If you would like to get earlier, you have to request for another visa approval with the arrival date “December 2″,for this case, you can go to Vietnam Embassy in Bangkok-Thailand in person to pick up your visa or apply online for visa on arrival (picked up at Vietnam airport)
Kindly regards,
Sammy Bui

Or is there a way to get a visa in express?
Thank you
Dear Jess,
You should get visa extension in case you want to stay longer in Vietnam. You can meet some problem with Vietnam Immigration Officer when you check in at Vietnam airport. For visa extension, you can contact with Travel Agencies in Vietnam.

Hi Bella Bui, I have a question that needs immediate attention. I have a visa which expires 2 days before my flight to Bangkok. Will I have to pay a fine at the airport for my visa being expired. Most tourist agencies say that I will have to pay the 1 month visa extension of $25-30 US. If you could please offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the help. Jeff
I am traveling through Hanoi to a connecting flight, however, the flights are with different airline companies.

Sir,
I am holding passport of the Turkish Republic but I am a resident of Japan as my wife is Japanese and I have been living here since 1981.
In the recent years, I visited Vietnam many times to make a market research for my company as i work for a Japanese machine manufacturer. We are intending to open a representative office in HCM City and we have prepared all the documents. But when I applied for visa to the Vietnam Consulate in Osaka, my visa was rejected for no reason. I applied again through a Japanese travel agency and their branch office in HCM City, it was rejected again.
I would like to get a 2 or 3 month single business or tourist visa. I have to go to the Department of Industry and Trade in HCM City to present our documents and get Representative Office permit.
Kindly reply and inform me if you can obtain a visa for my visit to Vietnam.
I await your prompt attention.
Thank you.

Hi,
Once we get the approval letter from you, what are the processes at ho chi minh airport to abtain our visa upon arrival? Do we have to wait in a line? Are there any additional fee at the airport?
To Amy,
For visa on arrival,after you get the visa approval letter, you need to print it out and bring with you when you get to Vietnam. With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 photos, exit and entry form and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Immigration Counter at Vietnam airport. Normally, after landing off Vietnam, you need to wait 15-20 minutes to check your information and stamp your visa.

Hello,
I am an Australian national who formerly lived in Vietnam for over a year. I am applying for a fiance visa for America and I need a “Power of Attorney” form for Vietnam that allows me to grant Power of Attorney to my friend living in Vietnam so that he can get my “Justice Record Check”.
The only bilingual form I’ve found on-line is a power of attorney for if I’m marrying a Vietnamese national which I’m not.
Where do you think can I obtain the proper form. Power of Attorney for friend in Vietnam so that he can access my “Justice record check”.
Thanks,

Hi, I have a brother who is Vietnam, he tells me he has no money is living on the streets and is days away from death. His Visa expires on 9th April.
We have sent him money via Western Union for the past 12 months but can no longer afford to to do this.
I believe he may have a drugs problem which is why he is no longer working.
I have been in touch via a mutual contact that tells me he is wanting to get back to the UK
Can anyone help me with some advice.
I am a Viet kieu from the US. I am currently living in Vietnam. Though my 3 month visa for Vietnam is about to expire in 10 days, can i get it extended for 3 month or 6 months through you guys. I have called travel agencies and they are quoting me for a price of $220 US dollars to do this. Too much considering it only cost me $30 US dollars to get a visa into Vietnam when I arrived to Vietnam. Your help would be nice.
Apologies re the above question, my brothers Visa expires on 9th May not April.
To Michelle,
Your brother can stay in Vietnam until May 9 without any problem. However, when his visa expires, he can meet many difficulties on law on entry and exit as well his current finance.
If possible, your family should arrange flight ticket fee or taking him back UK before his situation get worse.
As your brother is UK, so we can not do anything to help him. We can not interfere his visit if his visa is still valid and he does not make criminal record which directly influence on on our country. We just can say that all depends on your family.
We do hope that you can find the quickest way to take him back home.
Kindly regards,

To Tony Ly,
Visa extension at this time is more complicated and more charge than ever before. To extend 3 months, the fee can be required up to 200USD.
Of course, getting visa from outside the country is always simpler and quicker than extension while the procedure to lengthen your stay while you are in the country is not simple.
Kindly regards,
Bell Bui
To H Nguyen,
Currently, the maximum duration of a visa in Vietnam is 3 months visa only. It means that you can only apply 3 months visa. If you would like to stay longer, you can apply for visa exemption of Vietnamese overseas offered by Vietnam Government, please click here for detailed guidelines http://mienthithucvk.mofa.gov.vn/. Moreover, if you would like to work in Vietnam, you need to have a work permit.

Hello,
I´m Brazilian and I am an official passport holder. I´m travelling to Hanoi to participate in a conference as a representative of the Brazilian Ministry of Education. The Vietnam consulate in Brazil informed me that I don´t need a visa to enter the country, but the information I found in the internet says that the exemption is only for diplomat passports. Could you please clarify that?
Thanks,

I am confused. I need to extend my business visa as it expires on May 08. I read on your intro that all I need to do is to go to Immigration here in Hanoi and they will do this. But I read also that extensions can only be done by travel agents. Can you clarify this position. Do I have to use a travel agent or can I go direct to Hang Bia Street??
Hi! I am currently in Vietnam on a C2 visa, which expires in 1 month. I am teaching at a university here. I have the approval of the people’s committee to stay another year so I must apply for another C2 visa. To apply, must I leave the country and then come back? And if so, must I go back to America to apply through the Vietnam embassy in the U.S. like I did the first time? Thank in advance!
I would like to inquire on obtaining Vietnam visas for the following countries: Nigeria, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa and Ghana. We are organizing a workshop in Hanoi and we are inviting staff from different countries. Many VN visa online services did not mention most of countries I listed above; could you tell me if your company can help us on this matter? Your guidance would be most appreciated.

Your guidance would be most appreciated.
Thank you for your attention
To Erni,
Thank you for contacting us!
Firstly, I would like to give you the instruction on how to have your visa: ( 2 ways)
1. Normally, you can obtain a visa directly at Vietnam Embassy/Consulate Overseas
Take your application, passport, a passport-sized photo, and supporting documents (ex: invitation letters, etc) in person to the Embassy or Consulate, where you will be interviewed about the purpose of your visit. You must also pay an application fee and wait in a few days to get the visa. Please note that the application procedures and fees may vary among countries and embassies/consulates.
2. In case you would like to travel by air: you can apply for Visa on arrival:
Visa on arrival is only applicable for those traveling by air to Vietnam and your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport. For visa on arrival, you apply online at our website www. Vietnam-Visa.com to get visa approval letter after 1 working day (urgent service) or 2-3 working days (normal service). With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 photos and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport.
Secondly, for Indonesian and Philippines citizens, you are can be exempted Vietnam visa for 30 days.
Hope that now it is not your concerns!
Kindly regards,
Julia Nguyen

Hi There. I’m on a C2 3 month single entry tourist visa. I would like to know what is the maximum visa extension, can you extend for 3 months? Also what is the price for either a 1 month or 3 month extension? Thanks very much.
Does he need a visa ?
My son has a vietnamese passport which is less than one year old. He recently became a US citizen and changed his first name to an English name, from Phuc to Phil and now also has a US passport under his new first name. So the question is how does he travel to vietnam ? Which name should he use for his airline ticket, and does he need a visa ? If he buys a ticket under the name phil when he checks in at the US end can he show both his passports and not require a visa even though the first name is different on each passport? And the same when he returns ? Or does he need a vietnam visa/should get one just in case?
Thank you…
To Chris,
Now, there are two options for you:
In case your son has two valid passports: US and Vietnam passport,he can use Vietnamese passport and his full name shown in Vietnamese passport to enter Vietnam without a visa.
In case your son has valid US passport but Vietnam passport is abandoned when registering US nationality, he needs to apply for Vietnam visa with US passport and full name in this passport to enter Vietnam.
If you have any concerns, please contact us!

Hi,
I am currently residing in Beijing and planning on going to vietnam. I was thinking of getting my visa online via your website but I realized that you need to obtain your visa at the airport. If I am not flying into the Vietnam airport but instead, coming from one of the neighbouring countries like Laos, will I be able to cross the border w/out the visa on my passport? Or do I need to fly into a Vietnam airport?
Like H, I am asking how many times we can extend a visa. I understand that an agency can extend only once, but what is the law or policy? I entered with a 3-month visa and extended it once. Can I extend it again (one more time, for a maximum of two extensions) in Vietnam? Or do I need to leave the country?
Answer to C.Thomas:
Thank you for contacting us!
As we know, Vietnam visa can only be extended once. For more detailed information, please contact Vietnam Immigration Department as follows:
Vietnam Immigration Department (A18)
Address: 40A Hang Bai Str., Hanoi, Vietnam
Tel: 84-(0)4-38257941

We would like to inform that at present we can only provide visa on arrival (Visa to be picked up at the arrival airport in Vietnam).
In your case, you are suggested to come directly to Vietnamese Embassy/ Consulate where you are living or staying to obtain your Vietnam visa there.
You need to take your passport, a passport-sized photo, and cash in person to the Consulate, where you will be interviewed about the purpose of your visit. You must also pay the stamping fee and wait in a few days to get the visa. Please note that the application procedures and fees may vary among countries and embassies/consulates.
Please be kindly noted that you need not have to show any air ticket there.
We do hope that this information is clear and helpful for you.

Hi there,
I’ve been in Vietnam since 22 febr. I have been doing an internship for the last 5 months. My current visa expires the 12th of July but I’m leaving the country for 2 weeks and coming back via land (Laos). What is the easiest and cheapest way to get a new visa? I’m based in HCMC. (im leaving the 12th of august to the netherlands so one month would be sufficient)
The visa can be extended twice. I just got mine extended at the immigration office for $10.

We would like to inform that getting visa to Vietnam is quite simple and easy now. There are 2 options for getting Vietnam visa:
1) If you travel by air to Vietnam, you are kindly advised to apply for a visa on arrival. This is a simpler and easier way than the other. For visa on arrival, you apply online at our website http://www.Vietnam-Visa.com, pay the service fee to get visa approval letter after 1 working day (urgent service) or 2-3 working days (normal service). With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 passport photos at any size and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport.
Moreover, please be kindly noted that there are two kinds of fees:
- Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to process the visa approval letter for you.
- Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.
Kinds of visa Service fee/pax (USD) Stamping fee/pax (USD)
Visa on arrival-1 month single $21.25 $25
Visa on arrival-1 month multiple$26.25 $50
Visa on arrival-3 months single $35 $25
Visa on arrival-3 months multiple$40 $50
2) In case you travel by road, you are suggested to come directly to Vietnamese Embassy/ Consulate where you are living or staying to obtain your Vietnam visa there.
You need to take your passport, a passport-sized photo, and cash in person to the Consulate, where you will be interviewed about the purpose of your visit. You must also pay the stamping fee and wait in a few days to get the visa. Please note that the application procedures and fees may vary among countries and embassies/consulates.
We do hope that this information is clear and helpful for you to decide to use what type of visa. We are willing and please to serve you at our best!

Hi there,
I am currently in vietnam on a 3 month tourist visa which i’ve had extended once already for 3 months. I went to extend it again at a travel agent and they said they could do it for one more month then i would have to leave vietnam and make a new visa.
Then today when i went to pick up my passport they told me they could only extend it for 10 more days and that i would have to go back to my home country (england) first before being able to get a new visa???? Is this really true??
other people have sad that i just need to leave vietnam for a few days, (say go to thailand or cambodia) then go to an embassy there and make a new 3 month tourist visa!!!
Obviously the lady telling me i need to go back home before i can get a new visa has got me worried!!!(have no plans to go back for a year or 2) Is there a limit of how many times you can get a tourist visa in a certain length of time?? i find it hard to believe that i actually have to go all the way back to england to be able to come back to vietnam!!
Many thanks James
I have 5 years multiple entries visa, however I can stay only 3 months on time. My family live here and I would like to extend my stay for 3-6 months without leaving Vietnam and come back. Is that possible and how?
Thanks

hello! i have a question can i change my visa from visit visa to working visa if i found a job upon staying in vietnam?
Hi, I am hoping you can help me with the following questions:
1) do i need a multiple entry visa for Vietnam?
2) can you tell me what is the best way to apply for a Cambodia visa?
3) can we do visa on arrival with our itinerary or must we apply for one before we leave our home country, Canada?
This is a summary of our itinearay: we are arriving in Hanoi Airport. From Hanoi, we are flying to Siem Reap, then we board a cruise ship at Tonle Sap Lake and sail to Phnom Penh and make the border crossing to Tan Chau. We sail all the way to Ho Cho Minh City then fly back home from there. The length of our trip is 15 days.
Thank you!
Answer to Denis:
Thank you for contacting us!
Please be kindly informed that you wouldn’t like to exit and enter Vietnam every 3 month, you can have your visa extended when it is nearly to 3 month validity. Thus, you do not need to go out of Vietnam during 6 months or more.
In that case, we will assist you to extend your visa as normal procedure as stated in this following link http://www.vietnam-visa.com/blog/vietnam-visa-extensionrenewal-services/
Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact us at support@vietnam-visa.com. We are willing and pleased to serve you at our best!
Kindly regards,
Anna Quach
Answer to whom it may concern:
Please be kindly informed that you can not change anything in your done visa.Thus, it is impossible to change your purpose of visa from tourist to business once you find a job here in Vietnam.
However, as any 3 month single/multiple entries at any purposes will be automatically changed to “business” ones. Therefore, please do not worry if you are holding a 3 month single/multiple entry.
Hope that this information will release your concerns.
Kindly regards,
Anna Quach

Hi, I’m having holidays in Hoian from Aug.19 to 23 with my fiance. Flights and hotels are all booked and paid, but my fiance is still waiting for his visa. I’m Korean so no need visa but my fiance is Morocaan. We’re currently living in Shanghai, China so he applied for his visa on last thursday in vientmaese consulate in shanghai. Since our departure date is only 3 days ahead, i’m totally frustrated…
we provided all booking details to the consulate and calling them everyday but no one there speaks english and the chinese guy who answers the phone is completely rude… if we speaks english, he hung up the phone on us…!i ask my chinese assistant to call him everyday, he just tell us that he doesn’t know when they can issue the visa.
I don’t think they will refuse to issue visa to my fiance but can’t get rid of doubt…
can you help me how we can make sure to get the visa before thursday? is there anyway to push them to correspond to people who want to spend money in their country more properly?

Documents of students in Vietnam are required to be attested in Vietnam Embassy, Delhi for submitting in Cyprus. What are the charges and timings of attestation.
Hey there,
I have a bit of a predicament. We recently got our 3 month multi entry visas, however now I need to work longer and can’t fly out until the 7th of December. Our Visas are from the 23rd of November until the 25th of Febuary. We now want to arrive on the 8th of december and leave on the 22nd of March. We are only spending a month in VIetnam and then going on to the rest of the Mekong region but we need to be able to get back in as our plane leaves from Hanoi. So we would be arriving spending a month and then coming back only for a few days to catch our flight home. Before this was all covered under our 3 month visa but it is no longer. Is it possible for me to get an extension of a month on my multiple entry three month once I arrive in Hanoi? Thank you for your time Regards Zoe (I am Asutralian if that matters)
Answer to James Juliana:

Hi,
I was planning to go to Vietnam to teach English and I’ve heard that its now essential to have a work visa to teach and earn money.
Of the work visa requirements, I have a Bachelors Degree (as well as a Masters). I was also planning to get a CELTA (Tefl training) qualification as soon as I arrive in Vietnam. BUTone of the requirements of the work visa application, I’ve read, is a Criminal Record Check…
Firstly, I’ve read that this CR check has to come from my country origin/residence: I’m in Asia already and dont want to go back to the UK before heading to Vietnam- can I sort out this Criminal Record check when I get there?
Secondly, and most importantly, I have a Drink Driving/DUI conviction (from the UK, a year ago): most people consider this to be a minor crime/conviction, but it is a crime/conviction nevertheless, so it would appear on any check- I assume(?); but would the flashing-up of such a minor conviction block my application for a work visa?
Is so, i’ll have to scrap my dream of working in Vietnam. Sadly.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
my wife is Vietnamese, and has vietnamese and British passports. We are going to enter with her Vietnamese passport. We are going back to Vietnam from 19 Nov 10 to 10 Dec 10, and her vietnamese passport expires on 16/05/2011.

Hi,
Me and my husband are planning to go to Vietnam and possibly stay for about 6 months. I would like to volunteer in a children organisation and my husband would like to teach English. I can imagine that because I won’t earn any money I will be allowed to stay with an extended tourist visa. But what worries me is that my husband does not have a degree: he has professional experience and a CELTA certificate so I was wondering if it would be possible for him to get a business visa once he has found employment in a language school in Vietnam.

Hi. I am planning to bring along my Indonesian helper to Vietnam. We are going to be posted by our company to HCMC and just wondering is it possible for me to obtain visa for my helper to stay with us during our posting. Your advise is highly appreciated. Thanks.
@Jules
now, 3 months visa is the longest time, you can extend your visa to be in Vietnam longer.
For work permit, please see the link:

I applied for Vietnam visa in San Francisco, USA by mail. It returned with a note and no visa on passport. The note was that (refused by the immigration office in Vietnam). The next day I went to Vietnam embassy in San Francisco. She said, they can’t do anything. She told me to call the immigration in Vietnam, but no phone number and told me to search for. I had call these two number 844 38257941 and 844 38264026 no support information for visa application.
Do I need to apply for approve letter or code? Where do I need to apply for the approve letter and visa?
Is it any other chance to apply for Vietnam visa?
By the way I’m USA citizen and apply for tourist visa single entry for 30 days. Planning entry on February 18 2011 from Hekou Yaozu of China to Lao Cai of Vietnam. Thanks.
@ Thao,
You only can apply for visa on line at our website if you travel to Vietnam by Air. In case you travel by land you should ask for visa at Vietnam Embassy/ Consulate in your place.

hi, am from Peru and i am plannig to be in Vietnam next month arriving by plane. today i just recieve my visa approval letter and downloaded the aplication for entry and exit. At the bottom of the aplication for entry and exit it indicates that i must fill 2 forms and submit one form to the vietnam visa issuing office and the other to the frontier police post upon my arrival.
If i am arriving by plane and there is no Vietnam visa issuing office in Peru, to whom should i submit the first form?, i understand that the second form should be submited to the airport office?

Hello,
Hoping someone can help me. I was born in Vietnam but have been in Australia for over 30yrs and this year 2011 will be my first time back in Vietnam. I don’t have a Vietnamese passport but do have an Australian passport.

Hello,
A friend and I are planning a trip to Myanmar and Vietnam in February. I’m American and he’s Canadian. Do we apply for a Visa first with the Myanmar consulate, get our passports back, and then send it to you for a Vietnamese Visa? Our concern is how long this process will take as our trip is coming really soon. Looking forward to your advice. Thank you.
@ Susie,
Please inform that if you travel to Vietnam by Air, you had better apply for visa on arrival at our website. We do not require passport when you apply online. For urgent service your visa approval letter will be ready after 1 working day and for normal service it takes you 2 or 3 working days.

@to Monu:
Thank you for contacting us!
In your case, you are kindly advised to apply for a visa on arrival. This is a more simpler and easier way than the other. For visa on arrival, you apply online at our website http://www.V ietnam-Visa.com, pay the service fee to get visa approval letter after 1 working day (urgent) or 2-3 working days (normal service). With this visa approval letter, passport, 2 passport photos at any size and stamping fee (25 USD for single entry visa, 50 USD for multiple entry visa), your visa will be stamped at Vietnam airport.
Moreover, please be kindly noted that there are two kinds of fees:
- Service fee: the fee is paid ONLINE for us to process the visa approval letter for you.
- Stamping fee: For getting your visa stamped at VIETNAM airport, pay directly at the Vietnam airports for the Immigration officers by cash (in USD) at immigration Desk.
We do hope this information is clear and helpful for you.

I am a student from Nepal, studying in Japan. I am scheduled to attend a symposium in Hue and visit sites in Danang from 2nd March to 9 March.

Hi,
I made an application through the website and paid immediately by VISA.
When I log in to the website under billing it still says “under payment”. Will this change when it processes or does this mean it hasn’t gone through?
@Ash,

Normally, if your payment is done well, your status changed into paid and you will get payment confirm email around 9a.m and 3p.m – Vietnam time.

Hi Susan
Please advise of what is the best way to go about bringing $200,000 Australian Dollars into Vietnam to purchase a property in Vietnam.
I have read the news that Vietnamese Prime Minister asked the Vietnam Immigration Department to remove the Customs Declaration Form when entry and exit Vietnam.
Do I still need to complete a form or something about this amount of money when enter Vietnam at Tan Son Nhat Airport?
I am worried that I might have issues in bringing the money back out of Vietnam if my property purchase failed.
Many thanks

Are you able to do Visa extensions? I am already in Vietnam and want to stay longer. I would like a 3month single entry tourist visa.
@ Hannah Lawson,
Please inform you that from September 15, 2010, all passengers don’t have to fulfill the immigration declaration form when they do procedures of entry and exit at the border gates which have been equipped with reading-passport machines and networked computers. However you still must declare your possession at custom office. For more information about this, please visit the following link:
