Vietnam Visa at Tan Son Nhat Airport in Saign( South Vietnam )
Once you land in Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Saigon, prepare your documents, your adventure truly begins. First, you have to find the Immigration counter and visa on arrival desk. Upon exiting the plane, follow the sign post leading you to “Arrival Section.” This will lead you to the immigration visa lines but you do not want to enter these lines yet. Instead, you must go to a small area to the far left of immigration, labelled as “Vietnam Landing Visa”. Here you will find a window, a handful of booths for the less prepared to fill out forms, and a waiting area of about 20 seats.
Unless you are lucky, you will see what can sometimes be a large line queued in front of the window. This is the first taste some get of standing in line in Vietnam. Although an orderly line may be formed, some will simply bypass the line and walk straight to the window. Nobody on the other side of the glass will call you up. When you finally get to the window, you will hand one of the nice men or women on the other side all of your lovely prepared paper work, your photo and your passport.
Take a seat and get comfortable; depending on the length of the line, this process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour. When your Vietnam Visa has finally been processed they will call your name over the intercom to come back to the window. Once there you will pay your visa fee, which varies depending on the length and type of visa – a three-month multiple entry visa is currently $95 while the one month single entry is $ 45 The only accepted currency at this window is American Dollars; no other foreign currency is accepted. After paying the fee you will be given your passport, now complete with your Vietnam visa, and you are free to go through the immigration line, retrieve your luggage and catch an airport taxi into town.
