Visa for Vietnam
All visitors to Vietnam need a visa to enter in the country. You may choose for a tourist or a business visa without having to prove the real purpose of the trip.
Visa Requirements
Requirements for both tourist and business visas are exactly the same. At the time of application, you can choose either single or multiple entry visa. Multiple entry visa can be interesting if you decided to travel also to cambodia, China or any abroad countries.
Embassies usually require only a passport with at least six months of validity to grant a visa. It takes five working days to process the visa.
Visa in Advance
You can request a visa on arrival at the airport only if you have an approval letter with you. Those letters specify that you have been allowed into the country by immigration. Once you get to the airport -- letters are not accepted at land borders, so you have to fly into the country -- you show the letter at the immigration counter and your passport will be stamped with a visa. Letters are available in two ways. If you obtain your visa through the Internet, using a visa service, you will receive a letter via email, rather than an actual visa stamp. You can then print this letter and bring it with you to the airport. The other way to get a letter is from inside Vietnam. If you're already in the country and want to come back, you can visit any travel agency in one of the major cities. The agency will process an invitation letter for you for a fee and you can take that with you and use it to reenter Vietnam.
Extending a Visa
If you're already inside Vietnam, you can extend your visa once through either the local immigration office or through a travel agency. After a single extension, you might need to leave the country and reenter to obtain a new visa. There's no time minimum you need to spend outside the country; you could technically fly into a neighboring country, such as Cambodia, and return two hours later if you have an approval letter with you.
