2. Vietnam Visa on Arrival (VOA)

The Vietnam Visa on Arrival (VOA) is another option for obtaining a visa for Vietnam. However, it is not as convenient as the e-Visa as it requires you to wait in line at the airport upon arrival in Vietnam. The VOA is valid for a single entry and can be used for a stay of up to 30 days.

• You may be asked to provide additional documentation, such as proof of onward travel or sufficient funds, upon arrival in Vietnam.
• If you are planning to stay in Vietnam for more than 30 days, you will need to apply for a visa extension at the Immigration Department in Vietnam.

Please note that this information is subject to change, and it is always best to check the latest visa requirements with the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence or on the official Vietnam e-Visa website.
