VISAS to Vietnam can be obtained in Vietnamese embassies, consulates
abroad or 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. To apply for a VISA, the requirements are as following:
- Entry permit form (which
can vary from one Vietnamese embassies or consulate abroad to another) - There
are two categories of this form: for foreigners and for Vietnamese overseas.
- Two photos (4cmx6cm or
3cmx4cm)
- Original passport
- VISA fee
You should send your application and photos to a Vietnamese embassy or
consulate abroad, which is most convenient to you. On your requirement, the
reply will be returned by post (stamped envelopes with your name and address
must be provided).
The easiest way to apply for a Vietnamese VISA is through a Vietnamese
travel agency, e.g. JEWEL TOURS. Just fill out the VISA Application Form online
at
http://www.jeweltours.com/visa-show_visa-86/visa.html The VISA process will take about 3 working days. JEWEL TOURS will send
you a visa approval letter by email which you need to print out and bring to
the airport for departure. At the arrival airport in Vietnam, the applicant needs to
show the visa approval letter and bring two passport photos (4 x 6 cm), to get
a visa stamp. The costs for the visa stamp amount to US $25.00 per person. The
US $25.00 can be paid at the immigration.
JEWEL TOURS will charge US$ 10.00 per person (apply for anyone who has
booked the hotel with JEWEL TOURS).
