To obtain a visa

Please inform the Rencontres du Vietnam secretariat of your internet visa number and your arrival date and time at the entrance airport.
This internet visa procedure is cheaper but it does take some time (~ 60 min) at the airport immigration office, depending on the queue. Do not forget to have with you 2 passport photos and USD in cash as required by the internet visa service.
