1/ What is the visa issued by Vietnam airport (Landing visa, visa on arrival)?

Visas issued at Vietnamese airports (also known as Landing visas) are a very convenient and simple way to apply for visas to enter Vietnam.

When tourists arrive in Vietnam, such visas are issued at an international airport in Vietnam.

To obtain a visa at the airport, visitors need to fill out an online visa application form to obtain a visa approval letter before leaving for Vietnam.

With this official letter, visitors will be allowed to board a plane to Vietnam and obtain a visa stamp when arriving at the Vietnamese airport.

When applying for such Vietnamese visa approval online, tourists do not need to prepare any documents or send the original passport to any institution.

2/ is the Vietnam airport entry visa (also known as landing visa) real?

The visa approval for entering Vietnam by air is completely legal. Although tourists submit visa applications through the visa agency service, the visa approval letter that allows them to board the plane and receive the visa seal upon arrival in Vietnam is received by the entry-level of Vietnam’s export ministry rather than the service unit level.

At present, many organizations have provided this service to simplify the visa application process and save time for tourists to Vietnam. We are also one of the organizations supporting international tourists.
