Can I show Approval Letter digitally to Immigration at Vietnam entry border?

Wednesday, Jun 24, 2026 - 4:02 PM

⚠️ You must print it out. The Immigration officers at Vietnam entry borders will not accept a digital copy of your Visa Approval Letter on your phone, tablet, or laptop.

➡️ You need to present a physical, printed copy to the officers at the Visa-on-Arrival counter to get your visa stamp.

📌 Here is a quick checklist of exactly what you need to prepare before you board your flight:

Printed Approval Letter: A clear, black-and-white or color printout of the entire document.
Original Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date and have at least 2 blank pages.
Completed Entry/Exit Form: (Form NA1) Printed and filled out in advance to save you time at the airport.
Two Passport Photos: Standard size (4x6cm), taken recently on a white background.
Stamping Fee: Paid in cash (USD or VND only). It is $25 USD for a single-entry visa or $50 USD for a multiple-entry visa.
↳ Note: Credit cards are not accepted at the immigration counter.

💡 Pro-Tip: Put all these physical documents together in a single folder in your carry-on bag so you can easily pull them out as soon as you land at the Vietnam airport.

Alternatively, and this is my preference, they can buy online an “approval letter” (from a private agency such as govietnamvisacom, which offers a very efficient service) that takes about 3 weeks to process for FUll Package visa in Covid. It's the easiest way to come back Vietnam in 2021
