The alluring call of Vietnam's vibrant cities, emerald rice terraces, and turquoise waters awaits, but before you hop on that plane, let's navigate the visa requirements for Indian citizens. Don't worry, it's a surprisingly smooth journey!

• Most Indian travelers can breathe easy! You can obtain a visa on arrival (VOA) upon landing in Vietnam, valid for 30 days. This applies to all international airports in Vietnam, including Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City.
• Passport Essentials: Make sure your passport has at least 6 months of validity after your planned arrival date in Vietnam. Packing a spare passport photo also saves time in case you need to fill out any additional forms.
• Proof of Funds: Show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Vietnam. Cash, credit cards, traveler's checks, or travel insurance policies work – just show enough to convince the immigration officer you'll be a responsible visitor.
• Onward Travel Ticket: Prove you have an onward or return flight booked within the 30-day visa validity period. This demonstrates your intention to leave Vietnam within the permitted timeframe.
• Accommodation Confirmation: Immigration officials might ask for proof of your accommodation in Vietnam. A hotel booking confirmation or hostel reservation works perfectly.

Planning a Longer Stay?

• If you yearn for more than 30 days of Vietnamese adventures, you'll need to apply for a visa in advance at the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in India. The process is straightforward, but consider the extra processing time involved.
