Vietnam visa on arrival for Korea citizen

Question:

Hi, I have an ordinary Korean passport, and I plan to visit Vietnam in the next month. Is it possible to get Vietnam visa on arrival for Korea citizens?

Answer: 

According to news updated from The Immigration Department of Vietnam, Korea citizens wishing to travel to Vietnam with the stay duration of less than 15 days, Vietnam visa is not required.

To enter Vietnam with 15 day exemption visa, Korean citizens just need to prepare their own ordinary passport with 2 blank pages and 6 month validity at least. When they arrive at Vietnam airport, Korean citizens should show the passport to Immigration officers of Vietnam to get Vietnam visa exemption seal stamped onto your passport.

For Korea citizens wish to enter Vietnam to visit and stay in the country longer than 15 days or Koreans entering Vietnam for business purpose, applying for a Vietnam visa approval before departure is required.

Nowadays, with the aim to facilitate foreigners on entering Vietnam and getting visa to the country conveniently, Vietnam visa on arrival is applicable for citizens from almost countries including Koreans.

The procedure to get Vietnam visa on arrival for Korea citizens is very simple. You just need to complete Vietnam visa application online with information as shown in your passport at  or send details of your passport and required visa to support email: support@evietnamvisa.com.

Then you make payment for approval fee for visa request via OnePay, PayPal, Western union, or Bank transfer.

After 2 working days (standard service), or 1 working day (urgent service) even 4 working hours (super urgent service), you can get visa approval letter issued by the Immigration Department of Vietnam which allows you to get the visa stamped straight away at the Vietnam airports.

In reality, a lot of Korean citizens enter Vietnam by Vietnam visa exemption for 15 days, and then get Vietnam visa extension for your current exemption visa. This is eligible for Koreans.  However, to get Vietnam visa exemption, it takes from 5 to 10 working days for processing time and USD 120 upward for the cost. In addition, the compulsory document for getting Vietnam visa exemption is your original passport.

Because visa extension charges much higher fee than getting a new one first, for Korans planning to stay in Vietnam for a long time, applying for one month visa or three month visa before entering the country is highly recommended. The procedure for getting a new Vietnam visa is much more convenient and economical than getting Vietnam visa extended.
