Residents of Malaysia are also favored by Vietnamese Government not to be required an entry visa to enter Vietnam for a stay within 30 days. In case you would stay more than 30 days, you may either apply for a visa to Vietnam by reaching Vietnamese embassy in Malaysia, or apply for an effective visa on arrival through a visa service;
Get Visa directly at the Embassy:
- Issuing unit: Vietnamese Embassy in Malaysia
- 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 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 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 Malaysia.
