Australians and those from these 80 countries now have 3 common ways to get a Vietnam visa including Vietnam visa at the Embassy, Vietnam visa on arrival, and Vietnam e-visa. The first two methods can be familiar while the last is still unclear to many people for its eligibility, how to get, and the e-visa cost as well. The following post will help you answer all the relevant questions, let’s check out!
1. Who are Eligible for Vietnam E-visa?
Besides Vietnam visa on arrival, Vietnam e-visa is also chosen for its convenience but it is applicable for those who enter Vietnam for tourism purposes, single entry and stay in the country for 30 days. Please be noted there are citizens of 81 countries who are allowed to get a Vietnam e-visa only.
Apart from those limits, applicants can submit on online form, and enter Vietnam via both airports, sea ports, or land ports which is much money-saving and preferable by those who just come to the country for traveling, and don’t want to stay long.
2. Which entry & exit checkpoints allow e-Visa holders to enter and exit Vietnam?
E-Visa holders can enter and exit Vietnam through any checkpoint in 33 international checkpoints.
3. How to get a Vietnam e-visa?
