How to get Vietnam Visa in Cambodia
Visitors who come to Vietnam from Cambodia may confuse about visa matter as whether they have to apply for Vietnam visa or not. Actually, Cambodians are not required the entry visa for a stay of maximum 30 days in Vietnam. On the contrary to this, citizens of Cambodia wishing to stay in Vietnam for more than 30 days and those of other countries which are not included in the Vietnam visa exemption list are required to get a valid Vietnam visa for their travel to Vietnam. In this case, travelers will have two options to get a visa for Vietnam.
The first way is applying for Vietnam Visa on Arrival at lower cost with Vietnam-visa.com. Getting Vietnam visa by this way is often selected for its convenience, time-saving, especially by those who live far away from Vietnam Embassies and do not want to part with their passports by mail. For this kind of visa, Vietnam Immigration Department will issue Approval letter in 1 or 2 working days without original passport send-off needed.

- Carefully check all information again and make online payment for service fee;
- Wait for 2 working days (applied for tourist visa, normal service) to get visa approval letter sent to email in along with detailed guide;
- Have visa stamped upon original passport upon arrival at Vietnam airport. This step will take you a few minutes at the airport queuing in front of Visa on arrival counter.
The second choice for you is to apply for Visa to Vietnam in person at the Vietnam Embassy in Cambodia in case you plan to travel to Vietnam by land or sea.
