You will receive a confirmation email stating that we have received your Vietnam visa request. If you don’t receive our email, please contact us by telephone or email.
We will submit the information to Vietnam Immigration Department in Vietnam to get the visa approval letter for you after your payment confirmation.

STEP 3: Get your visa approval letter/ or visa code
If you apply for visa code (pick up visa at Embassy in your area), you will receive a visa code via emaill.  And, if you apply for visa on arrival (pick up visa at arrival airport / for traveling by air ONLY), you will receive a visa approval letter via email.

"Visa Code": After two or three (2 or 3) working days (normal service), or one (1) (urgent service), the Vietnam Immigration Department  issue a visa code for you. We will send it to you via email. This visa code will also be simultaneously faxed to the Vietnam’sEmbassy or Consulate in your area (as per your request in the application form). You will need to wait 1 or 2 days more before coming to the Vietnam’s Embassy as the Immigration need time to fax your information to the Embassy.

"Visa on arrival": After two or three (2-3) working days (normal service), or one (1) (urgent service), the Vietnam Immigration Department  issue a visa approval letter for you. This original visa approval letter will be sent to us and the information simultaneously forward to the Immigration Database on your arrival at the airport in Vietnam.

You just have to print it out and bring it with you for boarding.

STEP 4: Get the stamp visa
"Visa Code": You take your Visa Code with your original passport to the Vietnam Embassy or Consulate in your area to get the Visa stamped onto your passport. You have to pay the visa stamp fee directly there to the Embassy in-charge officers. This visa stamping fee might be different between countries, and higher than that at the arrival airport.

"Visa on arrival": you show the Visa Approval letter TWICE: to the airlines in your country for boarding, and to the Immigration officer at the Vietnam’s airport upon arrival to get the visa stamped onto your passport. You are required to fill in the visa form, attach photos and pay the visa stamp fee (see the visa stamping fee) to the Immigration Service directly. You finally get visa stamp and enter to Vietnam.
