I may be crossing into Vietnam from Laos via bus/boat. What type of visa do I need for this, and how I get it? I believe the Visa on arrival is only applicable if you are flying into a major airport in Vietnam. Can you please confirm?

Thank you,
Lauren

Dear Lauren

If you plan to enter Vietnam by land from Laos, you need to get your visa beforehand either at Vietnamese embassy in UK or Laos. We recommend you apply for your visa in Laos to save time and money:
