Unless you travel to Vietnam overland, we do not encourage you to apply for Vietnam visa at the embassy as it is rather hassle and complicated. In order to obtain visa for Vietnam for Indian citizens from UAE effortlessly and cheaply, you should take advantage of Vietnam visa on arrival facility.

Visa on arrival is the easiest, simplest and fastest way to get visa to Vietnam for air travellers. By way of online system, the Indian applicants in UAE can lodge the application in the comfort of their own home or office. All what they have to do next is relax and wait for visa approval letter to arrive in the email. The Immigration Official at arrival airport then willl collect the letter and give them a physical visa.
