Well, you don't have to worry because we have got your back. Read on to find out how you can apply for a Vietnam visa online.

Apply For a Vietnam Visa Online

Applying for a Vietnam visa can be a difficult process but with BDATrip, the entire process will take less than 5 minutes.

Here’s how you can apply for a Vietnamese visa online:

Step 1: Fill out an application form

The first step to getting a Vietnam visa on arrival is simple and can be completed within 2 minutes. Open the secure link that is provided here. Follow the steps and fill out all the necessary information in your application like your name, passport number, date of birth, nationality, gender, and arrival date. 

Step 2: Confirm the information on the form and pay the visa fee

After you have verified all the information that you have provided, click the confirm button to submit the form. After submitting, you’ll be redirected to a payment gateway. You will then have to pay a small visa fee. 

BDATrip provides flexible payment methods such as cash transfer, credit card payment through Onepay, Stripe, Paypal, or e-wallets such as Momo, VNPay, Moca, and more.

Payment fee:

For the visa approval letter, you will have to pay $17 or more, depending on the sort of visa you want and how many visas you're requesting. 

You'll also pay a fee upon arrival for the visa stamp. This may cost a further $25 for one entry visa and $50 for multiple entries. 

For more details regarding the payment fee, you can check the table below:

Step 3: Receive and print out the Vietnam visa approval letter

Once you’ve paid the online fee, we will start processing your Vietnam visa request. You will typically receive the visa approval letter via email within 2 to 3 business days. 

After receiving your approval letter, you have to print out at least 2 copies of the letter, in color if possible. You will also need to prepare and bring at least two (4cm x 6cm) passport-sized photos with a white background and without glasses.

Another thing to keep in mind is your passport. Make sure your passport has at least 2 blank pages for visa stamps and is valid for a minimum of 6 months at the date of your arrival in Vietnam. If your passport is nearing its expiration date, renew it before you arrive.

Step 4: Get your Vietnam visa stamped upon arrival

After you land in Vietnam, you will be guided towards the visa application counter where you will present your Vietnam visa approval letter, passport, photos, and the cash payment for the stamping fee to receive the visa stamp. Once you present all your necessary documents you will get your Vietnam visa stamped upon arrival. 

The following are a list of applicable airports where you can get your visa stamped:

  1. Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi)
  2. Cat Bi International Airport (Hai Phong)
  3. Da Nang International Airport (Da Nang)
  4. Cam Ranh International Airport (Nha Trang)
  5. Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City)
  6. Phu Quoc International Airport (Phu Quoc)

You will also be required to complete an Entry/Exit form which is available at the airports or downloadable from our website. 

After you get the stamp, you are done! You are now officially inside Vietnam's borders. All you have to do now is enjoy your journey across one of the most beautiful countries in the world!
