Vietnam extends eVisa
By Don Ross -

HANOI, 9 November 2018: Vietnam has extended its eVisa project for another two years.

The pilot was launched in 2017 and was due to expire in February 2019.

Nationals from 40 countries, including China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, India, the US, Germany and Sweden could apply for the online visa.

The scheme offers a 30-day, single-entry eVisa for a tourist, or business trip, for a USD25 non-refundable fee paid by credit card when completing the application form.

While it is not as user-friendly as Myanmar’s eVisa, arguably the best in the region, it is considerably more convenient than any of Thailand’s visa options including its visa-on-arrival in saving time and clearing up the visa requirement before travel begins.

Visitors who have an eVisa can enter the country at any of Vietnam’s eight international airports, 13 international land border gates and by sea at seven designated ports.

Hi All

recently returned from Vietnam
I applied for the Visa online, cant remember the cost involved, wasn't huge but was also hit up for $25US each when we arrived at HCMC airport
the Visa counter was a complete circus

When they emailed me our accepted Visa application form they also included pages of other peoples details, addresses etc
Is the application necessary or could we just have lobbed up and done over the counter?

Hi, no one can advise?
I have a mate about to travel and could save him some hassle

Here is a list of countries that can rock up without a visa (note that some countries only get a visa for 15 days): https://www.myvietnamvisa.com/vietnam-v ... ption.html

Everybody else needs to make advance arrangements AFAIK.

This website, https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/trang-chu-ttdt, is the legitimate eVisa website. You pay $25 via credit card online and NO further payment is required upon entry:
