What is Vietnam Visa on arrival?

That it is called “Vietnam Visa on arrival ” already tells the way passport holders get this kind of visa. It means “The Vietnam visa that Vietnam visa applicants will pick up at the arrival airport in Vietnam upon arriving in this country”. The required condition for this is that the applicants must have Vietnam visa pre-approved letter before traveling to Vietnam by air.
 

Do I have to worry about Vietnam visa on arrival’s legitimacy?

No, you do not at all, because Vietnam visa on arrival is 100% legitimate as it is issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department. The term “on arrival” only means the way applicants pick up their visa stamp (that is, on arrival).

Vietnam Visa on arrival is, as said above, as legitimate as the normal visa for Vietnam which is picked up at Vietnam Embassy.
