@Cheng Suk Fun, yes, that’s correct. The visa counter at Hanoi airport is only for visa on arrival. You can proceed directly to the Immigration counter for entry and exit procedures.

You do not need a visa to enter Vietnam for less than 45 days, using a UK passport, either flying from the UK or entering overland from Cambodia.

@GOVENDER, It is currently not possible to obtain an approval letter if you are not going on an organized tour with a local tour operator. However, the new e-visa policy will soon be in effect, which will be available to all countries. If you are not traveling soon, please wait for the new visa policy updates.

@Jason Williams, South African nationals are currently not on the list of e-visa eligible countries, however, you can apply for a pre-approved visa letter and then pick up your visa at the embassy of Vietnam in Pretoria before you go.
