Visa for Vietnam – who needs it?

 


 

 
Many visitors of our site Govietnamvisa.com have asked us the same question “Do I need a visa for Vietnam?”. The answer is mostly “Yes”, and sometimes “No”.
 
Why? The reason may be found elsewhere on the internet with some scattered information about requirements of Visa for Vietnam. Yet, here we provide you with the most sufficient answer for your reference to help save your time of net surfing.
 
For the “yes” answer, most foreigners who would like to visit Vietnam without the Vietnam visa exemption must have a Vietnam E-Visa before arrive.
 
The “No” answer is for those whose nations have signed the Vietnam visa exemption agreement with Vietnam. Detail of this visa exemption list is found here. However, if you have read this, you will see that it does not mean you are totally exempted from visa for Vietnam if your country is in this exemption list, but only free from visa for Vietnam for a certain time as per regulations (cited in this list). For example, Cambodian citizens are exempted from visa for Vietnam for 1 month (or 30 days as maximum). If they would like to stay longer than this 1 month, they will need to apply for a visa for Vietnam for this additional time.
 
Besides, the “No” answer is also for the Vietnamese overseas who could provide a proof of being Vietnamese such as birth certificate or identification card, etc. The Vietnamese overseas are the Vietnamese people who reside overseas (foreign countries) for a long time and might no longer have Vietnamese passports. Those are also allowed to enter Vietnam without visa for Vietnam if they could show up a proof as mentioned.
 
Can I get Visa for Vietnam when arriving in Vietnam? Many people misunderstand that Visa for Vietnam can be applied and picked up upon arrival at Vietnam airport. That is not true for the current Vietnam E-Visa. First, you need to have a Vietnam E-Visa and print it out  before arriving. Then when you enter Vietnam, you need to submit your Original passport + printed Vietnam E-Visa directly to the Vietnam Immigration Officers and get your Vietnam E-Visa back and passport stamped by the Immigration Officers at the Immigration Desk. To apply for Visa for Vietnam, kindly make online Vietnam visa application here.
