Vietnam
Visa Arrival
Most visitors
still need to apply for a Vietnamese
visa in advance to enter the
country. Vietnamese visa is
inexpensive in comparision to any
other countries' visa fees ranging
from US$45 - 85 if application is
sent directly to the Embassy or
US$25-55 if your visa has been
pre-approved. A fairly convenient
visa on arrival process has recently
been introduced, but this requires a
pre-arranged application to Hanoi
Immigration Department and is
generally helpful to nationals of
countries without Vietnamese
embassies. Read our who need visa
for the visa exemption information.
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has
given the nod to a new regulation
allowing overseas Vietnamese and
their families to enter Vietnam
without visas as of September 1, and
the visa exemption decision meets
overseas Vietnamese aspirations.

5-day visa free: Many travelers
emailed us about the The 5-day
visa-free stay scheme which was
announced in 2002 and it seems to
have been wishful thinking, however,
we have never heard it used. Visa
tips:
1. Visa regulations are often
changing, so check carefully before
you are due to travel. Usually, it
is possible to extend visas within
Vietnam but not during the Party
Congresses.
2. Visa extensions are often
done with less than 1 week on your
ongoing visa, and after 3
extensions, you must get a new visa.
The fee is ranging from 18-35USD.
3. In case, you are exempted
from visa to Vietnam, and want to
stay longer than your allowed time,
the fee is quite expensive
(50-70USD), so keep in mind this
when you plan your travel itinerary.
4. Please apply for a visa to
Vietnam one or two weeks in advance
to avoid unwanted troubles or urgent
fee.
