1. Does Vietnam have visa on arrival for Indian nationals?
Yes. Most travelers who require a visa to enter Vietnam can apply for a Vietnam visa on arrival at international airports, except those eligible for the Vietnam visa exemption. Vietnam visa on arrival is available for:
- Nationals of countries not exempt from visas.
- Travelers unable to apply at a Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate.
- Passengers needing an urgent visa.
- Visitors entering for tourism, business, family visits, or trade.
Is the Vietnam visa on arrival for Indians eligible – the answer is yes (Source: Collected)
Currently, Vietnam visa on arrival is issued at 8 international airports: Noi Bai (Hanoi), Cat Bi (Hai Phong), Da Nang (Da Nang), Cam Ranh (Khanh Hoa), Lien Khuong (Da Lat), Tan Son Nhat (Ho Chi Minh City), Can Tho (Can Tho), and Phu Quoc (Phu Quoc).
To obtain a visa on arrival for Indians in Vietnam, applicants must prepare an approval letter from the Vietnam Immigration Department, a valid passport (at least 6 months), cash in USD for the stamping fee, and recent passport photos (4×6 cm, white background).
2. How can Indians obtain a Vietnam visa on arrival?
Indian citizens must first obtain a Vietnam visa approval letter, which is a mandatory requirement before boarding any flight to Vietnam. Unlike in some countries where travelers can apply for a visa directly at the airport, Vietnam requires advance approval from the Immigration Department.
To get this letter, applicants must go through a licensed visa service company that acts as a guarantor and submits their application to the authorities. Travelers need to provide personal details, passport information, and proof of a round-trip flight booking. Once approved, the Vietnam Immigration Department issues the official approval letter.

4. What to note when applying for a Vietnam visa on arrival?
Important notes for applying for a visa on arrival in Vietnam for Indian travelers:
- To obtain a visa at a Vietnamese airport, travelers must have an approval letter before departing for Vietnam.
- A visa on arrival is only valid for those entering by air. Travelers entering by land or sea must apply for an embassy visa or e-Visa (if eligible) before their trip.
- Your passport needs a minimum validity of six months beyond the date you enter Vietnam.

FAQs about Vietnam visa on arrival for Indian passport holders
How long does the Vietnam visa on arrival application process take?
The approval letter can be processed within 1-2 working hours for a tourist visa, or 2-7 business days for a business visa. This timeline does not include weekends or public holidays.
Should I apply for a Vietnam e-visa or a visa on arrival?
It depends on your needs. The e-visa for Vietnam is quicker, cost-effective, and convenient for stays of up to 90 days; it is available for both single and multiple entries, with a fixed port of entry.
The Vietnam visa on arrival for Indian citizens is better if you need to stay longer than 90 days or have a complex itinerary. However, it requires an approval letter, passport photos, and cash for stamping fees, and you may face waiting times at the airport.
How long in advance should I apply for a visa approval letter to enter Vietnam?
You can apply at any time, since the approval letter is valid from your chosen entry date, not from the application or issue date. To avoid rush fees or errors, it is recommended to apply at least 3 working days in advance for a tourist visa or 8 working days for a business visa.
A Vietnam tourist visa on arrival for Indians should be applied for at least 3 days in advance (Source: Collected)
