Vietnam Immigration policy regulates that all South Africa passport holders need to apply for Vietnam visa before entering the countries.
The requirements for South African citizens applying Vietnam visa are simple as follows:
- A valid passport (The validity should be 6 month at least)
- An issued Vietnam visa approval letter/ Vietnam visa code by Vietnam Immigration Department. Once you got these two things, you can get Vietnam visa stamped at Vietnam Embassy or Vietnam airport easily.

Guidance on how to apply for Vietnam visa:
- Submit your Vietnam visa online application or download Vietnam visa application form
- Make payment for Vietnam visa approval fees
- Receive our confirmation on the exact time of receiving your Vietnam visa approval letter/code
- Get your approval letter/code via email, printed out once you receive it
Now remember to put your approval letter in the same place with applicants' passport and show them when you get on the plane or stamp Vietnam visa on arrival at Vietnam airport.
