Choose as start date your arrival date in Vietnam.

Your visa will be valid for 1 month (or 3 months) from the start date you choose. During this period you may arrive in Vietnam at any day you like. So you are allowed to arrive later than your visa start date.

You are not allowed to arrive earlier than the visa start date. Your airline will refuse to board you!

Please note that the end date of your visa will not change if you decide to arrive later than your visa start date. For example: You have applied for a 1 month visa with start date 1 November and end date 1 December. You arrive in Vietnam on the 16th of November. In that case you have 14 days left, till 1 December, before you must leave Vietnam.

As standard the Vietnamese immigration office combines several travelers to Vietnam in one visa approval letter. You might therefore see other names mentioned of persons you don't know.

If you choose a PRIVATE visa approval letter it will only show your own name (or your groups' names). Please choose this option if you do not wish to share your passport details with other persons.
The additional fee for a private visa approval letter is 5 US$ for 1 person and 10 US$ for 2 or more persons.

Private approval approval letters are not available for business visitors, 1, 2 and 4 working hour service!
