How do Taiwanese citizens get a Vietnam visa?

Previously, Taiwanese citizens could get a Vietnam visa in the following ways:

Option 1: Go to a Vietnamese embassy to apply for a Vietnam visa. If you are currently living in Taiwan, you can contact the Vietnamese embassy in Taipei to apply for a Vietnam visa to enter Vietnam. If Taiwanese passport holders are currently living and working abroad, they can go directly to the Vietnamese embassy near your place of residence to apply for a visa.

The following is the information about the Vietnamese embassy in Taipei, you can refer to:

Address: 3rd Floor, No. 65, Songjiang Road, Taipei City, Taiwan

Tel: (8862) 2516 6626

Fax: (8862) 2504 1761

Email: vecotaipei@mofa.gov.vn

Tourists need to contact the Vietnamese embassy in Taiwan for information on applications, processing times, and visa application fees.

Option 2: Apply for a Vietnam visa on arrival. This method is more convenient for Taiwanese citizens. You just register online, fill in the required information, then you will get the approval letter and wait for a stamp to be stamped in your passport when you arrive at the airport in Vietnam.

In the past two years, visas on arrival have not been opened, and Taiwanese citizens cannot use approval letters to go to Vietnam airports. However, at present, we are happy to inform you that the visa on arrival has been reopened, and Taiwanese citizens can fully use this type of visa to enter Vietnam for tourism.

However, at present, there are many changes in document requirements and visa application procedures for visa on arrival. You have to provide a few other documents besides your passport and the service is also expensive now compared to before.

At present, only a 1-month single-entry visa is provided, and other types such as 1-month multiple-entry and 3-month multiple-entry are not available yet.

What documents are required for a visa on arrival?

To enter Vietnam, in addition to a visa, Taiwanese travelers need to ensure the following conditions:

  • Taiwan passport with at least 6 months validity from the date of entry into Vietnam；
  • Taiwan passport with at least 2 blank pages；
  • A Passport photo (clear,  color, not black and white), 
  • A document from the airline company that confirms your booking;
  • A document from the hotel that confirms your booking.

See regulations on passport and portrait photos for details.

Also, you should prepare Form NA1 (Visa Application Form) in advance. If you enter Vietnam with a visa on arrival, you must fill in all the information on the NA1 form when you arrive at the airport, so in order to save time, you should print out the NA1 form and fill in the information before arriving at the Vietnam airport.

You can download the NA1 form here.

Also, you should have some small change (USD or VND)to pay for the stamping fee at the airport. It costs USD 25 to get stamped at airports in Vietnam.
