At the moment, all Israeli citizens need a valid visa for Vietnam except those traveling directly to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam and stay there for no more than 30 days, and then leave it for a foreign country outside Vietnam.
However, obtaining a Vietnam visa for Israeli citizens no longer is a headache as they may have two ways to obtain one as following:
1. Getting visa at Vietnam embassy
As an Israeli passport holder, you can get visa at Vietnam embassy in Israel or in any third country which is convenient for you. With this way of visa application, you will have your full visa before you leave for Vietnam. It normally takes the applicants 5-7 working days to complete the visa procedure, excluding your time of traveling forth and back between the embassy and your home.
The paperwork includes hard copy of application, original passport, 2 passport-sized photos, and visa fees and also the stamped envelopes if you want to get the visa and other documents sent back by post. The visa fee should be advised by the embassy in advance as it may vary from case to case.
