visaonarrival.net is a commercial agency platform for Vietnam Visa on Arrival (VOA) approval letters operated by Viet Travel Service, a local Vietnamese company. It is not an official Vietnamese government visa website. Its core business is providing pre-approval letter processing services from Vietnam's Immigration Department for air travelers who need a Vietnam visa. After receiving the approval letter, users can complete the visa stamping process and enter the country directly at three major international airports: Hanoi Noi Bai, Ho Chi Minh City Tan Son Nhat, and Da Nang. It also offers additional services including expedited approval, emergency weekend processing, and in-country visa extension.
The platform has a clear pricing model, with fees split into two parts: the service fee paid online to the platform in advance, and the stamping fee paid in cash to the Immigration Department upon entry. There are no hidden fees, and tiered discounts are available for group applications. The agency service for a standard single-entry tourist visa only costs $18.99, which is more than 20% cheaper than applying through an offline embassy or consulate. However, the 4-hour super expedited service requires an extra $30, and emergency weekend processing adds an additional $160, so emergency services carry a high premium.
The advantages are very obvious: the entire process is completed online, no need to mail your passport or make in-person trips to an embassy or consulate, which is extremely friendly for applicants who live far from these offices; processing timelines are flexible, standard applications take 2-3 working days, and you can get an approval letter in as little as 4 hours to meet last-minute urgent travel needs; it supports real-time online application tracking, provides 24/7 multilingual customer support in Chinese, English and Vietnamese, you can get a full refund if you cancel before standard processing starts, and you also get a full refund if your application is rejected, so user protections are quite comprehensive.
The disadvantages are also quite noticeable: the service is only available for people entering Vietnam by air, it cannot be used for entry through land border crossings; once you submit your approval letter application with incorrect information, you cannot edit it — you have to submit a new application and pay the fee again; the stamping fee must be paid in cash on-site, credit cards are not accepted, so you need to prepare the required amount in US dollars before your trip.
Chinese users can currently access the website directly. The platform has a clear page structure and straightforward application process guidance, making it suitable for regular tourists and business travelers planning to fly to Vietnam. Users with urgent travel plans can choose the expedited service, but note that emergency weekend processing has a much higher cost, so you should evaluate your options carefully.
