Visa on arrival is type of visa you get when you arrive at the airport. This type of visa is used for all countries, so if you are not eligible for Evisa, you can apply visa on arrival.

Visa on arrival not only allows you to enter up to 1 month, but also you can enter single or multiple time. However, it is accepted through airports only, so make sure that you come to Vietnam by airplane.

In order to get visa on arrival, you must pass through two steps: Online application to get visa approval letter and getting visa at the airport.

The approval letter is not the actual visa. It is the document which approves you to get visa at the airport. It is processed within 2 working days, and will be sent to your email as well.

Step 2: getting visa at the airport

When you arrive Vietnamese airport, you have to come to “visa upon arrival counter” to get visa. You must submit documents there:
