Hi, I am planning on entering Vietnam from Cambodia by train. I understand i can only get visa on arrival if entering by air, so is the only way to obtain a visa for land entry by going to the embassy? If so, will i still need an approval letter? Thanks for your help Tristan Allen
Dear Tristan
Thank you for your question.
If you plan to stay in Cambodia for a few days before heading to Vietnam, we would suggest you to apply for a visa in Cambodia which is considered to be cheapest place to have your visa done. kindly take a look on this page for the embassy contact details: http://www.myvietnamvisa.com/vietnam-visa-in-cambodia.html
Hope the answer is useful to you.
We will be entering Vietnam by train from Nanning, China. Will the online visa upon arrival form work if we are not entering the country by air? Would we have to get our visas in China somewhere if it does not work?
---- Answer --
Since visa on arrival made available to air entry only, please visit Vietnam embassy in China to get it done beforehand. Below is our guide on how to get a visa in China:
