    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Thanks for your question!

    - The advantages: if you apply online, you just need to fill your information in the application form then make payment online without sending any documents. After 2 working days, we will send you the approval letter via email, you just need to print it out to board the plane then get visa stamp at Vietnam airport. 

    - The negative: with visa on arrival, we can not process visa for some special countries such as Turkey, Syria, Ghana, etc. And we just process the maximum time is 6 months, can not longer. In addition, visa on arrival is just valid for Vietnam International Airports so if you enter Vietnam by bus, cruise or border crossing, we can not help you to process visa.

    Best regards,
