First, you can apply for Vietnam tourist yourselves
at your nearest Vietnam Embassy/Consulate in the country you are living. What
you need to do is to bring your original passport, 2 passport-regulated sizes
photos and stamping fee to the Embassy/Consulate (the fee varies from Embassy

Second, you can apply for Vietnam visa online
through such reliable travel agencies as http://www.visaforvietnam.org or http://www.vietnamvisa-online.com.
What you need to do is to fill the online Vietnam visa application form and
wait 1 working day (urgent request) or 2 working days (normal request) to

letter/Code by Vietnam Immigration Department. Then you use this printed
approval letter (Visa on arrival)
or approval code (visa code) to

For those who enter Vietnam by air, we
strongly recommend visa on arrival (convenient, quick and secure) as you need
not spend too much time going to Vietnam Embassy and waiting. You can start
