Visa Information for Vietnam
VISA PROCEDURE
Visitors to Vietnam must obtain a Vietnam visa from either one of Vietnam Embassies or a Consulate office worldwide or on arrival, unless they come from one of the visa-exempt countries. All visitors must hold a passport valid at least for 6 months.
Visa requirements depend on the traveller's nationality, passport and applicable visa-exemption arrangements.
Visa exempt countries
Some nationalities are exempt from visa requirements for a limited period, while others must obtain a visa before travelling. As visa-exemption conditions vary by country and may be subject to specific restrictions, all participants are strongly advised to verify their individual requirements before departure.
