Getting a visa to be able to travel to Vietnam is a must. With a few exceptions from some citizens of some countries, you might be denied entry without a visa. In fact, most airlines will not allow you to board on a plane without a prearranged visa or approval letter. The most common way you can get a visa for spending holidays in Vietnam is to apply for a Visa on Arrival from a third-party agency. Take note that this is different from an e-Visa which is issued by a private company. Take note that the Visa on Arrival is only applicable if your point of entry for your Vietnam travel is from the three major international airports namely: Saigon, Hanoi, or Da Nang.
