Question and Answer

Hello,

we’re a group of four people planning a 20 days trip to Vietnam in august.

We would like some clarification about the “Visa On Arrival Procedure”: reading over the internet, we’ve found divergents traveler’s opinions about the Visa On Arrival procedure, stating that is “not official” or “not always accepted” and that there have been travelers not being able to board on a flight due to the refusal of that Visa procedure by the local authorities.
In detail, we will fly to Hanoi from Bangkok.

So, we’re hereby asking: is the Visa On Arrival totally safe and accepted or are we going to have problems travelling to Vietnam with this kind of document?

Waiting for your kind and exhaustive reply, we send best regards.

Sincerely,

Andrea Raimondi

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Some of the officers from Singapore Police Force are going to Vietnam for Special Task Force Training Programme, conducted by Vietnam Ministry of Public Security. Among them, 3 x officers are Nepalese Citizen and holding Nepalese passports.

They are going Vietnam through air.
Is it possible for them to obtain visa on arrival or do they need to get visa stamped into their passports before their arrival to Vietnam.

Your clarification on this would be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Hi there, I will travel to Viettnam from China on 1st October til 8th October for tourism. Do I need to get a visa in advance or can I get it upon arrival at the airport? I am an Italian citizen, is there any particular indication or procedure? Looking forward to your prompt reply!

Best regards,

Hi, I’m travelling to Vietnam in November to take part in a charity bike ride and was wondering what the visa process is? I’m actually working in Spain and will be travelling back to the UK to fly out to Vietnam so I will have to apply for the visa from here.  Any information you can give me will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thank you

Is there any other way to get a visa for my visit to Vietnam besides the Visa-on-line service or visiting the embassy in Wellington?
What happens if I get the visa and I need to change the travel dates?
I am going to HCH city and surrounding areas so what innocculations do I need?
Do I need to have a health certificate showing what innocculations I’ve had?

Thanking you for your help.
