1/ Getting Vietnam visa at Vietnam embassy before coming to Vietnam. You can contact Vietnam embassy directly for applying Vietnam visa, or get your visa stamped at embassy with pre-approved letter with code (Vietnam visa code) to pick up Vietnam visa at embassy from Vietnam Immigration Department.
2/ Getting Vietnam visa on arriving in Vietnam (pick up Vietnam visa at the check-in point). This is a more simple and easy way than the other, but not many people have heard of it. You can ask any travel agent in Vietnam or refer to us by clicking Send visa form then we will arrange your pre-approved letter (Vietnam visa on arrival) for you to pick up your Vietnam visa upon arrival.

In case you would like to enter Cambodia, Laos or any other country from Vietnam and then re-enter without having to apply for another visa, or you intend to have more than a month in Vietnam with tourist visa, you need a multiple-entry (or re-entry) visa.
This is quite simple: All Vietnam visas are single entry - unless you have specifically requested multiple entry and this is stamped into the passport. The status of a tourist visa cannot be changed from single entry to multiple entry once you have arrived in Vietnam.
