Vietnam has become more
liberalized now in issuing its visa to the foreign visitors.
In many countries, you can apply direct to the Vietnam Embassy
or Consulates, and generally, it takes about 4-10 days. Now
the visitors can also obtain the visa upon arrival at the
airport with special requirement.
On arrival, visitors must complete
duplicate arrival and departure forms. A yellow duplicate form
for custom must also be completed - KEEP THE YELLOW COPY for
departure or you will face pretty hefty "fine"

for a Visa at an embassy
REQUIREMENT

Business
visas
Very
convenient as they allow you to stay from 3 to 6 months,
with multiple entry options (A lot of Expat like to
visit nearby countries such as Thailand or Cambodia for
long week ends). If you are here as an investor, then
you can ask for extended visas.
