Hello,

Can you please be kind to answer my question info:

I am a French national living in French Polynesia.

In February, I will be flying from France to South Korea, where I will stay a couple days, before I fly next to HCMC with Vietnam airlines. I will stay in Vietnam for about 15 days for touristic purposes.

My question is: if I hold a VOA (visa on arrival) letter only (so, no visa from the Embassy), will there be any problem to board the plane at Seoul?
Thank you

Best regards,
Yannick

Answer

Dear Yannick,

Thank you for contacting us with regards to Vietnam visa.

We would like to inform that, the French citizens who fly into Vietnam from South Korea can definitely get visa on arrival (at Vietnam International airports), no need to visit Vietnam Embassy to apply for a visa beforehand. In this case, what you need to bring to board the flight is just a visa approval letter, your original passport, 2 photos of passport sized and 45 USD in cash for stamping fee.

We are assured that there is no problem if you hold a VOA letter to board the flight at Seoul and get visa on arrival when you land on HCMC.

Kind regards,

French, visa on arrival, Seoul,
