Very important and urgent
The visa or visa approval letter when it is issued, it can not be amended. In this situation, you need to apply a new Visa for multiple entries.
Any question, please feel free to contact us.
Best regards
s my question. Could we, in theory, be at the airport for check in the day our visa expires and just wait in the airport until our flight leaves, without getting into any problems legally?
Thanks for your question. May we know what is your nationally? If your country is in the list of Visa excemption, you can get free Visa to Vietnam for a period of time. If you stay in Vietnam more than th period of Free Visa, you need to apply a Visa to visit Vietnam.
For your question, you need to exit Vietnam on your Visa expiry date at the latest, if not, you will be fined.
Best regards
Is it possible for me to ad more time to my visa after arriving into Vietnam? I am not sure right now if I need more than up to the 15 days I have as a Swedish citizen. Do I need a return ticket as well? I am probably going out from Vietnam by bus into Cambodia and Phnom Penh. I am arriving to Hanoi from Bangkok next week by plane.
Kind regards, Robert
Thank you so much for your question.
At present, Swedish citizens is free for 15 days of Vietnam Visa. But in your situation, you need to apply 1 month multiple entries Visa. Because you will enter Vietnam and then exit to Cambodia and then Vietnam again.
Visa on arrival is the best for you. Just apply online and get the visa when you arrive Vietnam.
You do not need to show the return ticket. Please do not worry.
Best regards
Thanks.
With multiple entries Visa, you can enter and exit Vietnam multiple times. You can enter Vietnam, exit to Cambodia and enter Vietnam again without applying a new Visa.
Any question, please feel free to contact us.
Best regards
our trip? Thanks so much!
Finally I’m going to travel to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
I will arrive on the 1st November to Hanoi and then I will stay until 7 or 8 November!
On the return from Luang Prabang, I will to for 2/3 hours in Hanoi.
Must be a single entry or multiple entries?
Sorry for so many questions, but please be so kind and help me.

I have a single entry VISA for Vietnam and i'm in Vietnam since 13 july, but now i want to visit cambodia for one weekend (24-26 july). What is the best thing to do? Can i change my single entry VISA( who is valid till 15 aug when im leasing Vietnam)? Or what are the options? And what Will be the Costs ? Is it expensive?
Thanks in advance,
Larissa
Unfortunately, change visa from single entry to multiple entry quite expensive & not easy at this time.
I think you should apply for visa on arrival when you come back to Vietnam from Cambodia via airport. If you not entering Vietnam via airport, you should go to Vietnam embassy or consulate in Cambodia to apply for visa there.

I am an Indian Resident. I have applied for visa as collection centre as Hanoi. However I wish to visit Ho Chi Mein city instead. Can I collect my arrival visa from Ho Chi Mein instead. Kindly revert back as soon as possible.
Thanks amd with Regards,

Dont worry if you change airport of arrival.
As you can see in the visa approval letter, it allow you to pick up visa at any international airport of Vietnam, including : Noi Bai Int'l airport in Hanoi city, Tan Son Nhat Int'l In Ho Chi Minh city & Da Nang Int'l airport in Da Nang city.
Please note that the airport when you landing fist in Vietnam is the airport for pick up visa
Regards
Thang
Sure, With multiple entry visa, you can enter & exit Vietnam many times (as much as you can) with given period in the visa.
And of course, you can go out of the airport
Regards
Thang
It is OK. Please do not worry.
Multiple entries Visa allows you enter and exit multiple times without applying a new Visa. Any question, please feel free to contact us.
Best regards
For Visa on arrival, you jut need to apply the Visa online and get the Visa upon arrival. You do not need to contact the embassy of Vietnam in your country.
If you want to enter Vietnam again, you need to apply multiple entries Visa.
- The first time, you fly to Ha Noi and get the Visa at Noi Bai airport
- The second time, you can enter Vietnam buy bus... (land), because you have had the Visa already in your passport.
Best regards

Do we have to have return flights to get the Visa or can we get a bus out within our 3 months visa?
Regards
Damien
You can apply Vietnam Visa now for 3 months single entry entry and then you can exit Vietnam by bus to Cambodia.
But you can not come back Vietnam again, because your Visa is just single entry. If you want to come back, you can apply Vietnam Visa online to get the Visa on arrival if you enter Vietnam by air. In case you enter Vietnam by bus, you need to contact Vietnam embassy to apply the Vietnam Visa again.
(We are so sorry, from 1 Apr, 2015, 3 months multiple entries was temporary stopped).

I used your service and to be honest I'm pretty satisfied for now. I received my approval letter quickly and our mail exchanges went smoothly. The letter seems to be fine too, though I haven't used it yet as my flight will be next month.
For this reason I wonder why your website has been put in the "black list" on vietnamese embassy in France's website. They say that there were complaints from customers for not receiving the letter or for being rejected to fly... They then give a list of some website that seems to be scam or provide fake letter and yours is on the list. I hope there would be no problem for me or your customers because of this warning, which seems not right to me.
I have no intention of complaint or re-apply what so ever. Just want to let you know.
Thanks
Firstly, we are happy to inform you that visa upon arrival are available for those enter Vietnam by air, of course, it is legitimated & approved by Vietnam Immigration (government of Vietnam.
Secondly, in case there is no embassy in your country, how can you get a visa to Vietnam ? If you would like rush visa to Vietnam in same day or on Sat and Sun for urgent case, how can you get visa ? My answer is visa upon arrival Vietnam at the airport. You can ask a travel agent in Vietnam arrange visa upon arrival for you then you come to Vietnam for pick up visa.
Thirdly, we make sure that once you have trouble at the airport with our pre-approved letter for visa upon arrival, we will pay whole package may caused by the visa (hotels, tours, flights, .......)

How Vietnam visa on arrival works ?
You simple choose the type of visa you want then submit your visa application form online, pay online for service fee --> wait 24 - 48 hours to get approval letter from Vietnam Immigration Dept., via email --> Print the approval letter to show for boarding & show to get visa on arrival at Vietnam airports (There is a "visa issuing office" or "landing visa office" located at international airports of Vietnam, in front of immigration line) --> Pay for stamp fee & get your passport with visa stamped.
It's very easy.
