You’ve decided to travel to Vietnam. Awesome choice! There’s so much to experience throughout this beautiful country.
I just wrapped up an incredible, action-packed five days in Ho Chi Minh City. It was my first time visiting Southeast Asia so I was so very excited about this trip and just had the time of my life.
BEFORE YOU TRAVEL TO VIETNAM
First. It surprises me how many people travel without having any idea what they need when it comes to getting into the country – Visa.
Fortunately, there are a number of companies that can help with the Visa process online for a small fee. I used Vietnam Visa Department – which made my arrival and entry into Vietnam quick and easy. Use Promotion Code: EXPLORETHE6 to receive a 10% discount.

Steps to complete Vietnam VISA Application online
1 Fill out visa options and contact information.
2 Pay your fee.
3 Receive the approval letter via email. It usually takes between 1-2 working days.
4 Make sure you travel with 2 passport photos, your passport, pre-approval letter and of course, cash.
5 When you land in Vietnam hand your documents to the officers at customs.
6 Get your visa stamped at the Vietnam airport and you’re all set.
Tourist visas are valid for either single entry or multiple entries. You could get a single-entry tourist visa for $25 USD and $50 for multiple entry visa. Make sure to travel with cash as they only accept cash in the form of VND or USD, no credit cards are accepted.
Vietnam Visa Choice (Vietnam Visa Department) Great online support from English-speakers agents, and the visa is issued in a timely manner. Use Promotion Code: EXPLORETHE6 to receive a 10% discount.
So that’s the process. Vietnam is a beautiful country and I highly recommend visiting if you have the opportunity. The food is superb, there are lots of things to see, and the people are super friendly.
