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
