Visa for UK citizens traveling across a land boarder into Vietnam

Updated: 01:02 PM - 22 Nov,2024

 

Question 1:

Hello,

I am traveling around South East Asia and would like to visit Vietnam.

I have looked for information regarding visas and note that you can apply for a visa on arrival, the information then says that you collect the visa when you arrive at an airport.

 

Can you please advise how to apply for and collect a visa on arrival when traveling across a land boarder into Vietnam.

Mr K A Doherty

 

Anwers 1:

Dear Mr K A Doherty

Since you travel into Vietnam by land, you are required to obtain a visa prior to your trip. We suggest that you get your visa in SEA (South East Asia) countries to save your money since Vietnamese visa fees in UK is quite over-priced. Please check our websites below for information on how to get your visa in SEA countries:
