Letter of approval said it is for business purposes, actually it is for my tourism purposes

Recently, I have applied for 3 months Vietnam visa for a vacation via e-Vietnamvisa.com. In the approval letter issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department, it is said that I am permitted to enter and exit Vietnam for purpose of business activities. Does it cause any problem with my entry and how can I fill in M3 form (Entry and exit form) at the purpose of visit?

Is that possible to leave on the day of visa expiration?

My visa in Vietnam expires May 1st, can I buy a plane ticket to fly out of Vietnam on May 1st or do I need to leave the day before expiration? I found one forum entry where a person said a visa is valid until midnight on the day of expiration, meaning it would be okay if I leave Vietnam before midnight on May 1st. Is that true? Or do I have to leave April 30th, before the expiration date? Continue reading

How long can I stay in Vietnam for tourist and business purpose?

Ten years ago, foreigners expecting to stay long in Vietnam can apply for 6 months or 12 months entry visa. At this moment, Vietnam immigration policies regulated that tourist visa valid until 30 days while business visas validity is 90 days.

You couldn’t stay longer than the validity stated in your visa except you have got your visa extended or renewed.  Vietnam visa extension can be done easily when you are in Vietnam and in the most case, your visa stamped at Ho Chi Minh airport will have its extension much easier and cheaper than visa issuing in Hanoi airport. The processing fee for more 3 months visa extension will vary from $45 to $180 depending on your entry port, current visa and expected visa extension. To apply for Vietnam visa extension, please contact us for further information. Continue reading

Is 650EAD for 3 months tourist visa quoted by Vietnam Embassy expensive?

Hi,

We are UK citizens having a plan to travel Vietnam for 3 months and we were quoted by the Vietnam embassy in Abu Dhabi (UAE) the cost for 3 months single entry visa of 650EAD (177USD or 113 pounds in conversion).

We were planning to travel to Vietnam overland but it might be cheaper if we fly into Vietnam using visa on arrival.

We would be interesting to hear the price from your agency www.e-vietnamvisa.com.

Best regards,

Chris

 

Answer

Dear Mr Chris,

Recently, there are some changes in the Vietnam visa fee regulated by the government. The stamping fee for 3 months single entry visa is 45USD now, instead of 25USD as before.

However, even to subject to nearly doubled processing fee, the visa fee that offered by the Vietnam Embassy in Abu Dhabi (UAE) is too expensive. If you apply for a Vietnam visa on arrival through www.e-vietnamvisa.com, it would be from 70USD – 77USD total. 117USD is far outweighs the price you pay for visa on arrival.

Looking forwards to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Alexandra
