Vietnam Visa

A visa is generally required for almost all visitors entering Vietnam, with exceptions for citizens of countries that have reciprocal agreements with Vietnam. Tourist visas can be obtained either at Vietnamese diplomatic offices or consulates in foreign countries, or with the assistance of a licensed Vietnamese Travel Company.
