Requirements for Vietnam Visa Approval Letter

Because Vietnam immigration has become a little strict when it comes to issuing approval letters for Pakistani citizens, therefore you need a few more documents to submit. This is because some Pakistani citizens overstayed their visas in Vietnam and some started working on visit visas which is illegal. This visa is strictly for tourism purposes.

In order for us to apply for a Vietnam visa approval letter, We will need the following documents from you. Please make sure to send these documents along with your approval letter fee in advance so we can process the letter as soon as possible.

How Much Vietnam Visa Will Cost in Pakistan

A Vietnam visa is a little bit costly for Pakistani citizens. The Vietnam visa approval letter’s cost is $150 per applicant. You have to pay a further $25 for a sticker visa when you arrive at the airport in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. So the Total cost for your visa will be $175 USD.

Vietnam Visa Processing Time for Pakistani Citizens

The visa approval letter process takes around 15 working days but it can be processed faster by the immigration office if there is no workload. It depends on them and we can’t do anything about the processing times. I advise applying at least one month in advance to avoid inconvenience.

Also, please make sure to write the correct arrival city on the approval letter such as Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. That can’t be changed once the letter is issued. Secondly, immigration will issue the visa approval only for the travel days mentioned so you have to travel according to the plan once you get the approval letter (keep this in mind).

When you arrive at the airport in Vietnam with a visa approval letter then you just need to present your valid passport (which must be valid for six months), a photograph, and fill out the visa application form at the airport which will be provided by the immigration officer.

You can contact us by using the contact form and send the required documents for starting the process of obtaining the Vietnam visa approval letter. You will need to pay the $145 USD in advance and in case the Vietnam immigration reject/refuse your approval letter then this money is non-refundable because they don’t refund the fee in case they refuse.
