Foreign visitors will need a visa. If your stay does not exceed 30 days and includes only a single entry into Vietnam, you can get an e-visa here. The e-visa process is entirely online, takes ~3 days to process, and costs $25.

We recommend paying with a credit card with NO foreign transaction fee. In your application, take caution when filling out the dates (DD/MM/YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY format).

If you need a temporary residential address and you have not booked a hotel, please ask Linh for her parents’ address.

To be extra safe, please print out 1-2 copies of your approved visa and keep it with you/your passport
