visa requirement
Hi, We are visiting Vietnam in March 2017, we arrive in Ho Chi Minh at 05:50 on 09/03/17 and we leave, via Ha Noi at 01:10 on 24/03/17, technically 1hour 10 minutes into our 16th day, although we leave Hue on the 23rd arriving at Ha Noi at 22:30 and wait in the airport for 2 hours 40 minutes (taking us into our 16th day) for our flight back to UK. In this instance do we require an application for a Visa on Arrival, please?
Kind regards

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your question.
As you know the policy for UK citizens, you can enter Vietnam without Visa if your passport's validity is more than 6 months and you stay here less than 15 days.
In this case, if you do not have Vietnam Visa, you have to pay for penalty fee when you leave Vietnam 1 day late and the penalty fee is not cheap. we advise you to apply Visa. However, that is our recommend, you can decide by yourself!
Best regards
