Vietnam visa fee for South African passport holders

According to the recent changes in Vietnam Immigration law, two sub-types of  Vietnam visa fee applied for South African passport holders is charged via their guarantee agent who requests visa for them on their behalf. Thus, all South African citizens coming to  Vietnam for tourist or business purpose are to pay 3 different types of fee: the guarantee fee, the approval fee, and the stamping fee.

• Vietnam visa on arrival for South Africa citizens
• How to get Vietnam visa from South Africa?
• Vietnam tourist visa for South African passport holders

The guarantee Vietnam visa fee for South African passport holders: this fee is charged by the agent prior to their sending the visa request for South African citizens to Vietnam Immigration Department. In case South African passport holders enter Vietnam and have another guarantee company, their business partner for example, the guarantee fee is not charged. In this case, South African applicant should contact us for the guarantee form (this form is to obey the one requested by the Immigration Department of Vietnam, not just an invitation letter).

When South African passport holders submit the visa application online, the guarantee fee and the approval fee is automatically quoted in total if the nationality of the applicant is selected.
