Visa Services
To help everyone have an easy trip to Vietnam, Indochina Orbit provides you with an useful visa information. We also launched the express service of visa on arrival, which is available at the international airports of Noi Bai, Danang and Tan San Nhat. It is legitimated and supported by the Vietnamese Immigration Department. However, our visa upon arrival service is to facilitate only guests who book other services from us like tours, cruises, flights, hotels.
General information
No matter which way of access you choose, a Vietnamese entry visa is required for all foreigners, except for citizens of countries having bilateral agreements on visa exemption with Vietnam. Tourist Visa is available one-month single-entry visa (maximum stay in Vietnam of one month). Tourist visa may be extended one time for 30 days after your arrival in Vietnam. If you plan to spend more than a month in Vietnam, or if you plan to exit Vietnam and re-enter from Cambodia, Laos or China, you will need a three-month multiple-entry visa with the approval from local agents.How to apply visa to Vietnam:
You can either apply yourself at Vietnamese embassies or consulates in your country or have a local travel agent (your sponsor) to do a part or full its procedure.
By yourself: Required documentations: passport of six months’ validity, visa application forms, and probably some others required by Vietnamese embassy or consulates in your country. Visa forms are available by getting directly or by mail with a stamped, self-addressed envelope addressed to their Visa section. Request by email is acceptable (in some cases). Time:processing tourist visa application typically takes four or five working days. Cost:: fees vary from embassy to embassy; about $50 in Bangkok and $85 in Washington, for example.
By local agent: For those who would like to avoid the perhaps lengthening visa procedures with their local Vietnam's Embassies, the service of Vietnam Visa Upon Arrival is available for help. It is legitimated and supported by the Vietnamese Immigration Department. We recommend that you choose Visa Upon Arrival, as picking up visa at the Vietnam int'l airport is quite simple, easy, no additional charges and no fail.
