Vietnam to Issue e-Visa on February 1, 2017 w/ Application Form

On behalf of the silent majority, you are now our
new Messiah...     

We worship your wisdom!     

All Hail our new Hero!     

Thanks Kupo,
I just had a look at the site..

It did indicate a visa period up to 12 months ,  maybe that's for a different  category other than  Tourist. 
Well soon see when the system opens.

Given that a lot of tourists are covered by their credit cards insurance facility it might be a good idea to print off the policy document or details of the cover incase these guys ask for it. 

I suppose those dudes at the VOA window will be eventually phased out if all the costs including the stamping fee are paid online. 

Good to see the system is improving

Hello
So Can you apply for a 3 month e visa  ??? Which may be further extended
I can only see references to  a 1 month , but perhaps i  am looking at  it incorrectly

And does anybody have information re  extending  an e visa

I am planning  on visiting  Vietnam end  feb  for a period of 3 to  max 12 months , as a tourist (but mabye will relocate  from Thailand)  - and am unsure  what way i should apply

I believe  ( under the  old system )  that for my plans i should  apply for a 3 month  VOA (getting an invitation letter in advance  from  one of the  visa agents)  -- and that Visa can then be extended further   by agents (during the first 3 months)

Or should i apply for a 6 or 12 month  business type visa ( 500 $ approx for 12 m ) ??

But i dont know  how to proceed  with the introduction  of the  e visa

Any  info greatly  appreaciated

Thanks

You're right, MIkaQ5. I was wrong about the 3 month eVisa issuance and am unable to edit the original post to reflect that. A VOA letter is still the way to go if you plan on visiting for visiting for longer than one month.
