Visa on arrival

Tuesday, Oct 18, 2016 - 8:49 PM I am a resident of United Arab Emirates (UAE) with an Indian passport. My daughter aged 16 years having an Indian passport is studying in the UAE and is scheduled to go for a school trip to Vietnam next month. I applied for visa approval letter on govisaveitnam.com and got the approved letter via email.

I am bit worried whether she will be able to get the visa stamped at the Vietnam airport given the fact that she is a minor going on a school trip without accompanying parents. If she get stuck there she will not be able to anything except requesting the school trip organiser to help in this matter and the trip organisers may have llimited say in this matter.

Could you please advise on safer side whether I should get the visa stamped at the Vietnam embassy in the UAE or this approval letter is enough and she will get entry in the country beyond any doubt. Much appreciate your help in this matter.
