Vietnam’s Visa On Arrival

Visa On Arrival (VOA) is one of the several visa types issued by the Vietnamese Immigration Department to foreigners intending to enter the country.

Please note that unlike the visa on arrival of some other countries, in order to get Vietnam’s Visa On Arrival, you must have a visa approval letter from the Immigration Department of Vietnam. This allows you to pick up your visa on arrival at the international airport of Vietnam.

If you want to pick up your visa on arrival at international airports of Vietnam, you should apply online through a website for the Vietnam visa or contact your travel agent in Vietnam to ask for a visa approval letter from the Vietnam Immigration Department.

Upon arrival at the international airports of Vietnam, you will be required to show the visa approval letter to get the visa stamped on your passport.

“Visa On Arrival” features:

  • No document is required to apply online
  • No queuing at the embassy
  • Pick up visa on arrival at your destination airport
  • You can choose to apply for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months with single or multiple entries

The Visa Approval letter is the letter approved, signed & red sealed by the Vietnam Immigration Department (Vietnam Government). It allows you board and pick up your visa on arrival at any of the four international airports of Vietnam.

With the visa approval letter, you can get your Vietnam visa at the international airports of Vietnam, such as Noi Bai airport (Ha Noi city), Tan Son Nhat airport (Ho Chi Minh City city), Cam Ranh airport (Nha Trang city) and Da Nang airport (Da Nang city).

The e-visa is an alternative to a paper-based visa issued by the embassies of Vietnam. Instead of applying for a visa at the embassies of Vietnam, the Immigration Department of Vietnam has now launched an E-VISA program, which enables you to apply for a visa online.
