I. Our Services

1. For Vietnam Visa on Arrival Service

1.1. Visa on Arrival (VOA)

Stage 1: You apply for the Visa Approval Letter after speaking to our consultant through support@vietnamexpress.com, pay the Service Fee and wait for us to process your Visa Approval Letter (AL)

Stage 2: Once processed, you will receive the Visa Approval Letter via your email address.

Stage 3: When you arrive at an international airport in Vietnam, you need your Visa Approval Letter, your Passport, a completed Vietnam Visa Application form with two passport size photos, and the Stamping Fee for immigration to stamp a visa into your passport.

The Visa On Arrival is only applicable for your entry into Vietnam through one of our international airports. Therefore, by applying for your Vietnam Visa On Arrival through Expressvietnam.com, you agree to enter Vietnam via our International Airport(s) and proceed with the above 3 stages.
