      Amy

      TravelerWritten July 2022

      My passport DOMINICA is not eligible for E visa but I understand that Travel tour company can arrange. Please let me know when Pre approval letter service will start. Is there any other way to get tourist entry?

    • Hoi An ExpressOperatorWritten July 2022

      Travel agencies in Vietnam are unable to provide that service due to our government. I do not think it is possible this year. The only way for you is to apply at Vietnam Embassy/ Consultant at your location.

    Asked on May 8th, 2022

    My daughter and I would like to participate in your Vietnam company's travel project. Because my daughter and I have Chinese passports, we need a visa to enter Vietnam, so I would like to ask: Can you give some help so that we can get a Vietnam travel visa smoothly?

    Visa
    • Hoi An ExpressOperatorWritten May 2022

      For the Vietnam visa, we and other visa service companies are unable to assist travelers at the moment. You will need to get an e-visa before your arrival.
