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 • Entry requirements visa and customs requirements for people travelling to vietnam: information from the national tourism administration. • Entry requirements visa requirements for visitors to vietnam (another site of the vietnamese administration of tourism). • Entry requirements list of visa exemption agreements between vietnam and foreign countries (ministry of foreign affairs). • Travel Visa Pro travel visa pro offers vietnam visa and passport services to u.s. citizens. • Useful information useful information, incl. visa requirements, for travellers to vietnam (information from lenguyentravel.com). • Online visa to Vietnam simple way for all travelers who want to apply to the visa on arrival in vietnam with vietnamtravels.com, a tour operator that is specialized in culture tours and adventure trips in Vietnam. • Entry points and visa detailed information on the checkpoints at the vietnamese borders and the visa requirements for travelers to vietnam: information from the vinatourism tour operator. • 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 and useful information for the visitors to vietnam (from vietnam spirit travel) • visa requirements and other useful information (from waytovietnam.com) • 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 > Vietnam Embassies and consulates abroad Links in other languages                (8) (3) (2) 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 & St-Martin 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 Kazakhstan 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 & Aruba 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 & South 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 Virgin Islands, Dominica, Antigua & Barbuda Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe
