Can I use both Vietnam visa issued by the Embassy and visa on arrival for my multiple entry?

Posted on by

I applied for a visa through the Vietnam Embassy and received it.  I leave for Vietnam on Oct. 12th, 2014.  My problem is I received a single entry visa and have found out I will be needing to enter Vietnam one more time.  I am in Vietnam for 2 weeks then go to Cambodia for a visit.  I would like to get another single entry  arrival visa from you and then use when I return from Cambodia.  Is this a problem?  Can I have two single entry visas at the same time and use them separately or do I need to start over and get a new visa for multiple entry?  What happens with the old visa?  Thanks so much.

How many blank page of the passport is required for Vietnam visa?

Posted on by

Dear e-Vietnamvisa team,

I have an inquiry regarding the VOA process.
I would like to know if travelers require a full blank page in their passport to complete the VOA process once in Vietnam or is the VOA document and presentation of the passport all that is required for completion of the process?
I currently have space in my passport for stamps, however no full spare pages for a visa sticker.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

How long can I stay in Vietnam for tourist and business purpose?

Posted on by

Ten years ago, foreigners expecting to stay long in Vietnam can apply for 6 months or 12 months entry visa. At this moment, Vietnam immigration policies regulated that tourist visa valid until 30 days while business visas validity is 90 days.

You couldn’t stay longer than the validity stated in your visa except you have got your visa extended or renewed.  Vietnam visa extension can be done easily when you are in Vietnam and in the most case, your visa stamped at Ho Chi Minh airport will have its extension much easier and cheaper than visa issuing in Hanoi airport. The processing fee for more 3 months visa extension will vary from $45 to $180 depending on your entry port, current visa and expected visa extension. To apply for Vietnam visa extension, please contact us for further information. Continue reading →

Is 650EAD for 3 months tourist visa quoted by Vietnam Embassy expensive?

Posted on by

Hi,

We are UK citizens having a plan to travel Vietnam for 3 months and we were quoted by the Vietnam embassy in Abu Dhabi (UAE) the cost for 3 months single entry visa of 650EAD (177USD or 113 pounds in conversion).

We were planning to travel to Vietnam overland but it might be cheaper if we fly into Vietnam using visa on arrival.

We would be interesting to hear the price from your agency www.e-vietnamvisa.com.

Best regards,

Chris

 

Answer

Dear Mr Chris,

Recently, there are some changes in the Vietnam visa fee regulated by the government. The stamping fee for 3 months single entry visa is 45USD now, instead of 25USD as before.

However, even to subject to nearly doubled processing fee, the visa fee that offered by the Vietnam Embassy in Abu Dhabi (UAE) is too expensive. If you apply for a Vietnam visa on arrival through www.e-vietnamvisa.com, it would be from 70USD – 77USD total. 117USD is far outweighs the price you pay for visa on arrival.

Looking forwards to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Alexandra

Vietnam is one of these countries, and does not require any transit visa, as long as you plan to stay inside the airport. However, if you expect to travel Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi during your flight transit awaiting, you need to make sure:

Vietnam reviews visa exemption for seven countries

Posted on by

The Danish, Finnish, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, South Korean, and Swedish visitors are being considered to have 30 days Vietnam visa exemption…

Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai has instructed relevant agencies to report about the impact of the free visas visitors from seven countries have been enjoying before the government decides whether it will continue with the policy.

He instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to review the policy’s political, economic and security impacts and submit its findings to the government, VnExpress reported.

Between 2004 and 2009 Vietnam unilaterally waived visas for single-entry visits of up to 15 days for Danish, Finnish, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, South Korean, and Swedish visitors.

At a recent meeting of the State Steering Committee on Tourism, many officials urged Vietnam to not only continue the exemption, but extend the length of stay to 30 days.

Earlier in April, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) for failing to take advantage of the policy to promote tourism, saying the underused policy had forced it to accept losses of US$50 million annually.

After that, VNAT proposed that the government continue the visa exemption because otherwise, Vietnam would become less competitive, as several other countries in the region waive visa fees to promote tourism.

Vu The Binh, VNAT deputy chairman, said nothing should be done to dissuade tourists from South Korea, Russia and Japan from coming to Vietnam. Last year, revenue from those tourists was $2 billion, of which the government collected $200 million in VAT.

Vietnam is not a very attractive tourism destination in the region and a visa requirement would worsen the situation, he said.
