VIETNAM EVISA AND VIETNAM VISA ON ARRIVAL

VIETNAM EVISA AND VIETNAM VISA ON ARRIVAL

There are probably a few concerns about visa that come to your mind when travelling to a foreign country, not only for Vietnam. Currently, there are 2 Vietnam visa types : Evisa and Visa On Arrival (VOA).

Vietnam Evisa is a visa issued by the Immigration Department to the visitors via the electronic system. 
Vietnam Visa On Arrival is a visa issued by giving the applicants the approval letter then they can get the visa stamp on their passport when they arrive Vietnam/ Vietnam airport. 
We’re now going to figure out differences between the two and share the pros and cons of each one. So, you have a clearer picture and it is easy to make a decision if Vietnam E-visa or Vietnam Visa On Arrival is better for you.
Although both types are issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department and they grant permission to legally enter Vietnam, Vietnam E-visa or Vietnam Visa On Arrival differ in some aspects. We emphasise on some of the key contrasts below:

Eligible applicants:
Both Vietnam E-visa and Vietnam Visa On Arrival is valid for almost nationalities. 

Entry check points:
Vietnam visa holders can enter through 33 ports in Vietnam including 3 types: airports, land ports and seaports.

Visa validity:
Evisa can be issued with 1 month or 3 month visa while Visa On Arrival issued only with 1month visa for urgent case.

Visa fee: 
The visa fee for both types is same while you use the same service on Govietnamvisa.com.
While Vietnam Evisa is totally included in one amount of fee, and you only need to show the document to get visa stamp at the Vietnam port. Vietnam Visa On Arrival fee including 2 amounts : a sum is approval letter fee, another sum of fee is visa stamping fee (it’s either $25 for single entry or $50 for multiple entry) at arrival airport.

Visa form:
Vietnam e-visa is issued in a pdf file. It is the equivalent to a visa, but there’s no stamp or label placed in the passport. But for a visa on arrival, you will receive the approval letter online then get a stamp in your passport upon arriving at airports.

Processing time:
E-visa will take you normally 5 working days with Govietnamvisa normal service to get the result. However, for a Visa On Arrival, the time to get is different from service type. You can get the Visa On Arrival in urgent case Govietnamvisa.com can provide express service which allows you to get the Visa Approval Letter within hours.
 

That is it! Welcome to Vietnam and have a good time!
