Visa

Passport

When travelling to Vietnam, travellers must have their original passport (not a copied one or any other kind of papers such as Travel document, Refugee Travel Document, Resident permit, Laissez-passer, APEC Business Travel Card, etc... )

Passports must be valid more than 6 months prior to their arrival date in Vietnam.

The Immigration officers or the airlines staff have the right to refuse those, whose passport is valid less than 6 months, to enter Vietnam or to check-in onboard.

Visa

All travellers must have a valid visa to enter Vietnam, except certain visa-exemption nationals (refer to the Visa General Information below).

The visa must be issued, stamped and pasted on their current, valid passport. (E.g. Saigontourist has faced some cases where a traveller has 2 passports: one passport has a validity of 3 months with a visa, whereas the other passport is valid for 10 years but without a visa ==> this traveller is not allowed to enter Vietnam as his visa is on the invalid passport)

*** VISA GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Visa exemption: valid for stay in Vietnam in 14-29 days for those who are for Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines (20-day stay), Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Brunei
   (14-day stay).
   
   
2. Tourist visa:
   Travellers can stay up to 30 days in Vietnam. (E.g. participants who attend any congress or conference for 5-7 days, this applies to delegates that are attending our NYSORA meeting).
   
   For those who would like to work in Vietnam for 3-6 months or more, they will need a business visa and a working permit.
   
   Tourist visas can be applied at the Vietnam Embassy/Consulate in their respective countries. Documents required for visa application are hotel confirmation, airticket booking and invitation letter (if any)
   
   
3. Landing visa or visa upon-arrival:
   For those who decide to go to Vietnam at the last minute, they can get the visa at the international airport of Vietnam (such as Noi Bai in Hanoi, Tan Son Nhat in HCMC and Danang airport in Danang). This visa is called "visa-pon-arrival". What they need is a Visa Authorised letter (attached is the sample). Contact Saigontourist if any participant needs further assistance for this service (admin fee applies).
