2. Getting Visa On Arrival without applying online:

Many people believe that they can get Vietnam Visa directly at Vietnam International Airport without needing to apply online. That is wrong, you can not board the plane if you don’t have the approval letter in hand. That’s why you have to apply online on our website in advance, we will send you the approval letter via email within 2 working days (normal service). Then you will use this letter for boarding the plane and getting  the visa stamp at the airport when arriving.

3. Typing wrong information when filling out the application form:

Many visitors fill out the visa form with wrong information as: full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number,…Normally, they think it is not important but in some cases, their approval letter can be refused by the airline at the departure airport. So, please make sure that you entered everything correctly and carefully.

4. Arrival date is the date which entering Vietnam:

Many travelers think that the visa will be valid from the date which they enter Vietnam, not from  the date which they provide on the application form. It is not correct, the visa validity will commence from the arrival date on the approval letter which you provide for us in advance.

5. It is so easy to extend Vietnam Visa

Many people think that it is so easy to extend the visa when staying in Vietnam. However, extending visa can be a costly and time consuming process. So, we recommend you should apply visa for 3 months in advance instead of 1 month one to save your money and your time.
