Once you complete your visa stamping fee obligation, you will receive an invoice and a visa will be stamped onto your passport.
Stamping fees are to be collected in USD or VND, in cash. Please note that you have credit card with USD, but only VND cash can be withdraw sum of money from your account at ATM station in Vietnam and you have to pay for transaction service fee. Here is the first and very important reason that you should prepare your cash in USD before departure if you don't want to change from your currency to USD with high exchange rate at the airport or pay for transaction service at ATM.
