Can I apply the arrival visa in Vietnam without apply this in advance?

Question

I bought a ticket on 7th May and cannot change flight. Change flight is expesnive than to buy the new air ticket. I forget to apply visa. How ????

There is no time for me to apply the arrival visa in advance here in Singapore. I do not have any advance approval number for arrival visa. Can I apply this after I reach Vietnam airport provided the air line can allow me to get in the flight.

I am not sure the air line will let me get on flight or not. If I go to Vietnam and they do not allow to get into their country. I need to buy the air ticket back . WIl it be a risk to me.

Answer 1

I would contact the Vn Embassy and see what they say.  I think you can get it done if you do it quick.  Good Luck,

Answer 2

Maybe you could approach the airline for advice or the Changi Airport Authorities. I am sure they would have encountered passengers with such problems.

Answer 3

When I flew to Vietnam I could not enter without a visa. Something i was told 2 days before my flight. I got my visa in time luckily.

Things could've changed between then and now it was a couple of years ago.

Answer 4

I'm sorry I didn't realize it was Saturday today and there is no way to contact the embassy when I left a previous answer. I've heard that it is possible to obtain a visa when you arrive, but I can't say for sure. I don't know anybody first-hand who has done this, but have heard OF people who have done this, and have heard that it will not be easy and will be a real hassle and will cost you extra as well. Then again, you might be refused and denied entry. I'm fairly sure you will be able to board the plane, most airlines are not concerned with your travel documents that are necessary when you arrive at your destination, only those that are necessary for you to depart.

I'm sorry, but I can't really say what might happen, it may be best just to cancel your trip until you get a visa. Hopefully someone that has done a visa on arrival will answer your question. Good luck.
