A complete step by step guide to obtain a Vietnam Visa for Nepali citizens.
Note: There are two ways to enter Vietnam for Nepali Citizens:
- Obtain a visa from the Vietnam Embassy
- Obtain the pre visa approval letter (Visa On Arrival ‘VOA’)
Since there is no Vietnam Embassy in Kathmandu, the best way is to obtain a VOA from the Vietnam Consulate, which is in Kathmandu.
Vietnam Visa On Arrival VOA – Kathmandu
Below is the complete guide to obtain Vietnam VOA Letter in Kathmandu.
Step 1
Download and print one copy of the Vietnam Visa Application Form.
It is very important to fill up the form correctly.
Step 2
Submit the visa application and service fee along with your original passport (For inspection only) to the Vietnam Consulate, Rani Devi Marg, Lazimpat, Kathmandu (Behind the Shangrila Hotel).
Step 3
Print the visa approval letter and take it with you to Vietnam.
Step 4
Arrive at any international airport in Vietnam and pay the fee. Get the visa then and there!
Vietnam VOA Fee Structure
Service Fee
- 1 month Single Entry / Multiple Entry (varies from 15 to 25 USD)
- 3 month Single Entry / Multiple Entry (Varies from 25 to 35 USD)
Stamp Fee
- 1 month Single Entry 25 USD /Multiple Entry 50 USD
- 3 month Single Entry 25 USD / Multiple Entry 50 USD
The stamping fee structure is fixed, however the service fee varies with the agent! At the Vietnam Consulate in Kathmandu it is ridiculously expensive to obtain VOA Letter!
As of January 2019 they charged me NPR 5,000 for one month single entry.
