IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VIETNAM VISA REQUIREMENTS

Travelers transiting through a Vietnam airport should check with their airline about Vietnam visa requirements.
Travelers going directly to Phu Quoc Island by boat or airplane from another country, and staying for less than 30 days, do not need a Vietnam visa.
If you have visa-free access to Vietnam, you only need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months from your entry date.
Visa on arrival is valid for entry through airport, land and sea border gates. However, for land and sea entry, you will need the original approval letter to enter the country. We recommend applying for a Vietnam eVisa for a more convenient entry.
