Also remember to send in all necessary documents to make the process as uncomplicated as possible. Here are the requirements for this type of visa:

  • Passport: with at least two blank pages for the entry stamp and six months validity after arrival in Vietnam. Temporarily valid passports or other travel documents are generally not accepted. Please pay attention to the validity date of your passport! If your passport is not valid for more than 6 months, the Vietnam Visa  requirements do not allow us to issue a visa for you.

In case of a Visa on Arrival, you will also need the following:

  • Visa registration letter: which will be sent to you immediately after payment by e-mail. Without this document no entry is possible. So remember to take this document with you on your vacation.
  • Two passport photos: that are current and show you with your face straight and without glasses. You must be clearly visible and identifiable.  So make sure to have high quality photos professionally taken by you in advance to meet the Vietnam Visa requirements.
  • Vietnam visa stamp: which must be paid in cash upon arrival in Vietnam. So please keep in mind the Vietnam Visa requirements, which only allow cash. But don't worry, you can also find ATM machines at the airport if necessary.
