To apply for a VOA, you need your computer and internet. If you get a Visa on Arrival, you are allowed to enter Vietnam through any of the 5 international airports in following cities: Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Hai Phong. You can only travel by air if you get a VOA, meaning you canāt enter Vietnam by bus, car, and so forth.
The process is very simple.Ā What you need to do is fill out the Online Application form with all relevant information. What you need to state in the application form is:

After you have filled this information out, you have to wait for a confirmation email which usually arrives within 1-2 working hours. Normally you will receive an Approval Letter within 2 working days. When the letter comes, donāt forget to print it out so the immigration officers in Vietnam can stamp your passport. If you need an emergency visa, you can get one within 40 minutes to 4 hours. This will cost you more money, but you will be able to get it much faster.
You also have the option to buy āOn Arrival Supportā which is a very good option for those who wants to check in to Vietnam faster:

3. Apply for a visa through the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in the nearby countries of Liechtenstein
The second option is to apply for a visa in your local or nearest Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in Liechtenstein. The reason why this option might not be recommended is because it is not as convenient if you do not live close to the embassy. It means youā will have to spend time on transportation and money. You will also need to remember to bring all the necessary documents, such as passport, and if you by any chance forget anything, you need to start all over again with the process. It is time consuming and you usually need to pick up your passport in the embassy or consulate. Also, be kindly advised that the fees and procedures are subject to change depending on where you apply.
When the visa is approved of, remember to print it out and bring all necessary documents with you so you can present it to the immigration officer in Vietnam. You will also need 2 passport photos of yourself plus cash for the visa stamp. You may pay with EUR and USD.
