Vietnam Visa for Russians

I am Russian nationality and I understand that I do not need visa to enter Vietnam if stay in Vietnam less than 15 days. However, I am planning to travel to Vietnam in December this year, and I will be crossing border and entering Vietnam by bus coming from Cambodia (via Bavet cross border point). Will it be OK for me to cross border and enter Vietnam at that customs point coming from Cambodia without any visa issue?

Answer

Dear Zahra

No worries, there is no problem at all. You can enter Vietnam at any border gates without a visa (airport, borders or sea ports) as long as you stay in Vietnam for less than 15 days.

We hope that helps.

Basically, you must have a valid Vietnam visa except you are the citizenship of visa exempted countries.

The most convenient and, we can say, easiest way is to do 'Visa - on - Arriva or Visa - at - Airport' (more about Vietnam visa on arrival ) ie we send you Approval Letter, you hold it to board your incoming flight and you pay visa stamp fee locally to the Immigration - the stamp fee will depend on what type of visa you would like to have.

This will save your time sending request to Embassies and wait probably long time while the price is certainly more expensive.
