A special favor by Vietnamese Government allows Indonesian citizens to enter Vietnam without an entry visa if their stay is within 30 days.
For over 30-day staying in Vietnam, like anywhere else, people in Indonesia may apply for visa to Vietnam either through Vietnamese embassy in Jakarta or apply for a visa on arrival through an online visa service.
Get Vietnam Visa in Indonesia: 2 ways
Get Vietnam Visa directly at the Embassy:
- Issuing unit: Vietnamese Embassy in Indonesia
- Processing time: 3 to 5 working days
- Processing fee: 50 - 85 USD/person
- Additional fee: Postal cost
- With Passport requirement
- How to get it? You reach this Embassy in person and follow the required procedures.
Get Vietnam Visa on Arrival via visa service:
- Issuing unit: Vietnam Immigration Department
- Processing time: 1 to 2 working days
- Processing fee: 25 - 50 USD/person (stamping fee NOT included)
- Without Passport requirement
How to get it? You go online at http://www.vietnam-visa.com, fill in the secure form, and just wait until 1-2 days until you receive your Visa Approval Letter, and take this + your passport + 2 photos to Vietnam to get your visa at airport. This seems to be the cheapest and easiest way to get a visa to Vietnam from Indonesia.
