    Vietnam Tourist Visa Application Procedures

    Vietnam tourist visa is the type of visa required for foreign nationals who will travel to Vietnam for touristic purposes, honeymoon or tour participation.

    How to Get a Vietnam Tourist Visa?

    In order to obtain a Vietnam tourist visa, applicants must first obtain a Vietnam visa approval letter. Receiving an approval letter for a Vietnam visa also means that the visa has been obtained. Those who receive the approval letter must have their visas processed into their passports, and for this process, they must apply to the Vietnam Embassy in Ankara or to border officers at international Vietnam airports.

    Vietnam Tourist Visa Approval Letter Application

    Applications for an approval letter for a Vietnam tourist visa can be made to accredited tourism agencies or visa consultancy companies.

    The process varies depending on where the application is made and detailed information can be found on the Vietnam visa approval letter page.

    Processing Vietnam Tourist Visa into Passport

    In order to apply a Vietnam tourist visa to a passport, applicants who have received a visa approval letter can send a copy of their visa approval letter and their passport to the Vietnamese Embassy. If a fee of 180 USD is paid, the applicants' passports with the visa affixed will be delivered to them by cargo.

    It is also possible for people who will enter Vietnam from an international airport to have their visas processed in their passports at the border. If you pay 25 USD, the visa application for Vietnam on arrival will be processed in the applicant's passport. The visa application on arrival is only possible for travel by air, and it is not possible for people traveling to Vietnam by land to have their visas processed in their passports at the border.
