VIETNAM VISA ON ARRIVAL vs. VISA AT EMBASSY

Fortunately, thanks to Vietnam’s open policy to attract more and more visitors, foreigners traveling to Vietnam will find it much easier to get a visa.
Currently there are two options to get Vietnam visa application: applying Vietnam visa at Embassy (traditional way, visa picked up at Vietnam Embassies) or applying for a visa on arrival (visa picked up at Vietnam International Airports).
