Vietnam visa requirements for Indians
Vietnam tour packages have recently allowed visa-on-arrival facilities for all Indian passport holders. This facility, however, is available only when you fly into Vietnam and not by other modes of entry. But you cannot just buy a ticket and fly into the country to get a visa on arrival. Before leaving, you must get a visa approval letter from Vietnam Immigration.
