Vietnam > Entry requirements (visa)

Virtually all Western nationalities need a visa.    Tourist visa can only be obtained in Vietnamese embassies and consulates abroad. Otherwise, you can get a visa at the border gates if you are invitees of some Vietnamese competent organs or you are travelling on a package tour organized by Vietnamese travel companies.    You can apply for a visa through the mail, and download the application form from a Vietnamese Embassy site.  Make sure to use a form of registered mail since you must send your actual passport.    Keep in mind visa issuance rules are constantly changing. Please visit the links (incl. Vietnamese embassies and consulates abroad) hereunder and check the current requirements and prices.    Links • visa requirements for visitors to vietnam (vietnam national administration of tourism) • list of visa exemption agreements between vietnam and foreign countries (ministry of foreign affairs) • travel visa pro offers vietnam visa and passport services to u.s. citizens • my vietnam visa offers comprehensive information and assistance in obtaining a vietnamese visa • useful information, incl. visa requirements, for travellers to vietnam (information from lenguyentravel.com) • visa requirements, e-visa and useful information for visitors to vietnam (visatovietnam.org) • visa requirements for visitors to vietnam (information from guidevietnam.com) • visa requirements for visitors to vietnam (information from activetravelvietnam.com) • visa requirements for visitors to vietnam (information from vietnamluxurytravel.com) • visa requirements and useful information for the visitors to vietnam (from vietnam spirit travel) • visa requirements and other useful information (from waytovietnam.com) • visa requirements and other useful information (from indochinaexpeditions.com) • visa requirements for visitors to vietnam (information from relaxindochina.com) • visa requirements for travellers to the mekong countries • customs service • vietnam customs (information from the national administration of tourism) • See also information from your home country about your destination and entry requirements See also • Vietnam > Embassies and consulates > Embassies and consulates abroad Links in other languages                (5) (3) (1) Same category in a different destination Albania Algeria Andorra Argentina Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Balearic islands (Spain) Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belgium Belize Benin Bermuda (UK) Bhutan Bolivia Bosnia-Herzegovina Botswana Brazil Brunei Bulgaria Burkina Faso Burundi Cambodia Cameroon Canada Canary islands (Spain) Cape Verde Cayman Islands (UK) Chad Chile China Colombia Congo Corsica (France) Costa Rica Côte d'Ivoire Crete (Greece) Croatia Cuba Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Dominican Republic Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Estonia Ethiopia Fiji Finland France French Guiana French Polynesia Gabon Gambia Georgia Germany Ghana Greece Guadeloupe (France) Guam (USA) Guatemala Guernsey/Jersey Guinea Guyana Haiti Hawaii (USA) Honduras Hong Kong (China) Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Iran Ireland Israel Italy Jamaica Japan Jordan Kenya Korea (south) Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Lebanon Lesotho Libya Lithuania Luxembourg Macau (China) Macedonia Madeira and Azores (Portugal) Malawi Malaysia Mali Malta Martinique (France) Mauritania Mexico Moldova Monaco Mongolia Morocco Mozambique Myanmar Namibia Netherlands Netherlands Antilles New Caledonia (France) New Zealand Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Norway Oman Pakistan Panama Papua Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Puerto Rico (USA) Qatar Romania Russia Rwanda Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Samoa Sardinia (Italy) Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia and Montenegro Sicily (Italy) Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands South Africa Spain Sudan Suriname Swaziland Sweden Switzerland Syria Taiwan Tanzania Thailand Togo Trinidad & Tobago Tunisia Turkey Turks and Caicos (UK) Uganda Ukraine United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Uruguay Uzbekistan Venezuela Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe
