Visa, insurance and health

Visas

At this time of writing, UK residents do not need a visa if your visit to Vietnam is no more than 15 days. If you want to stay longer you will need to apply for a 30 day visa from London by post. It’s very easy and doesn’t take long. Please note that this visa starts from the date you state you will enter Vietnam on the application form, not from the date you actually enter the country (if they are different). Here is a link:

There is also an online visa service, suggested by the UK government’s foreign travel advice website – which you might find more convenient. The visa fee is $25. Here is a link (click E-Visa and ‘translate’).
