Visa for Vietnam
Visa ApplicationTourist visas allow visitors to enter and exit Vietnam at Hanoi, HCMC and Danang airports or at any of its plentiful land borders, shared with Cambodia, China and Laos.
Tourist Visas are valid for a single 30-day stay. And it is possible to arrange a visa through a Vietnamese travel agent. They will need passport details in advance and will send a confirmation for the visa to be issued at your checkpoint of arrival.
In Asia the best place to pick up a Vietnamese visa is Cambodia, where it costs around US$30 and can be arranged the same day. Bangkok is also a popular place as many agents offer cheap packages with an air ticket and visa thrown in. If you plan to stay more than a month or exit and enter again, it's better to arrange a three-month multiple-entry visa. These cost around US$95 in Cambodia, but are not available from all Vietnamese embassies.
Try to look decent, otherwise you'd expect problems.
Visa Extensions
It costs you nothing but dollars to extend the visa and they charge as little as US$10. However, it is easier to pay more and sort this out through a travel agency. Getting the stamp yourself can be a bureaucratic nightmare. The procedure takes two or three days and you can only extend one time for 30 days.
Theoretically, you should be able to extend your visa in any provincial capital. In practice it goes smoothest in major cities, such as HCMC, Hanoi, Danang and Hue, which cater to regular visitors.
