You can choose to apply for a visa valid for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months

2. Counter for visa on arrival

Before departing to Vietnam, you must obtain a Visa Approval Letter (Visa Approval Letter). After arriving in Vietnam, apply for a visa at the visa-on-arrival counter at each international airport.

At the visa-on-arrival counter, all signs are in English. Sometimes it is called "Landing Visa", sometimes it is called "Visa Issuing Office" or "Visa on Arrival" (meaning both visa on arrival). The picture below shows the visa on arrival counter at Ho Chi Minh Airport.
