Residents of the United Kingdom (UK) have to apply for a valid visa if they would like to travel to Vietnam. There are, as usual, two ways for getting a visa to Vietnam in the UK, one, reaching Vietnam embassy in London, and two, applying for an effective visa on arrival through a visa service.
Get Vietnam Visa directly at the Embassy:
- Issuing unit: Vietnamese Embassy in the UK
- 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 the UK
