Visa-on-arrival has officially reopened to Chinese citizens holding e-passports. Chinese citizens holding a passport starting with the letter E do not need to go to the Vietnamese embassy/consulate to apply for a visa to enter Vietnam. Now it is entirely possible to apply for a Vietnam visa on arrival online through our website. The operation is very simple and the visa application fee is relatively reasonable.

What is Vietnam visa on arrival?

Vietnam Visa on Arrival (VOA) is a visa that allows tourists to apply for a Vietnam visa upon arrival at any international airport in Vietnam, and tourists absolutely do not need to apply for a visa at a Vietnamese consulate/embassy in advance. Visa on arrival is very convenient for travelers who live far away from the Vietnam embassy/consulate. Tourists only need to apply for visa on arrival online through a travel agency and get an approval letter, and then go to Vietnam airport to get stamped to enter Vietnam.

Visa on arrival allows tourists to stay in Vietnam for 1 month from the date of entry into Vietnam. Currently, this type of visa on arrival only allows tourists to enter Vietnam once a month. According to the latest news, citizens of almost all nationalities can use this type of visa on arrival to travel or work in Vietnam, including Chinese citizens holding passports starting with the letter E.

If you want to apply for a visa on arrival online, you can only apply online through a certain travel agency, and the website of the Vietnam Immigration Department does not support this type of visa (VOA).

What documents are required to apply for a visa on arrival?

To get an approval letter, you will need to prepare some of the following documents:

  • Passport valid for 6 months
  • Air ticket ( round-trip air ticket required)
  • Hotel reservation ticket (or just provide the hotel address)

Once you have all the above documents ready, you are eligible to apply online, then you will receive an approval letter by email that will help you get a Vietnam visa at Vietnam international airports.
