Can I get a Vietnam eVisa if traveling by land?

No, the Vietnam eVisa is available only to travelers arriving by air at specific international airports (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, etc.). If you are traveling by land or sea, you need to obtain a visa in advance from a Vietnamese embassy or consulate or apply for an e-visa if eligible. The eVisa service does not apply to land border crossings, so be sure to secure the appropriate visa before your trip if you plan to enter Vietnam by road.

The following choices are available to you if you intend to enter Vietnam via land:

• E-Visa: Before your trip, you can apply online for a Vietnam e-visa. Entry at certain international land border checkpoints is permitted with an e-visa. Because it may be obtained fully online without requiring a permission letter, this is a simple choice for tourists coming by land.
• Visa at an Embassy or Consulate: Before traveling, you can also apply for a visa at a Vietnamese embassy or consulate in your nation of residence or a nearby one. You will be able to enter Vietnam by land with this visa, which will be printed on your passport.

If you intend to enter Vietnam over a land border, be sure you have the appropriate kind of visa.
