How to apply for an entry visa to Vietnam?

How to apply for an entry visa to Vietnam? (Visa Type)

Regular Visa can be applied at Vietnamese Embassies or Consulates. Normal processing time is 1 week. 1–2 days processing if in Thailand, Cambodia or Laos.
Fees: The total fee is included the service fee and visa stamping fee.
Note: The short opening hours. Advice to check before you go and apply.
Pre-arranged Visa on Arrival/ e-visa (or Landing visa as referred at the airport) can be applied online for certain countries (that regarded as safe by the Vietnamese Immigration Department). You will get the visa stamp when arrived at the intl. airport in Vietnam. This visa type is only available when entering Vietnam by air, and has to be pre-applied/ – arranged through private agencies and not at the embassies. If you have a domestic flight transfer to e.g. Nha Trang (Cam Ranh airport), then make sure you get your visa stamp at one of the main intl. airports (Da Nang, Hanoi, Saigon/ Ho Chi minh City), before the transfer. Local airports do not have landing visa counter.
Fees: The service fee pays to the visaagent, while the stamping fee pays to the immigration dep. when arrived in Vietnam.
Notice: This entry visa type is processed, issued and granted by the Vietnamese Immigration dep. through private agencies, and therefore in no connection with the embassies. Official dep. don’t offer this service directly towards private person.
Pre-arranged Visa Code can also be applied online. You get the visa stamp at a pre-chosen embassy/ consulate. Similar process as “Visa on arrival”, but you don’t get the visa stamp at the Vietnamese airport.
Fees: The service fee pays to the visa agent, while the stamping fee pays to the embassy.
Notice: Processed and granted by the Vietnamese Immigration dep., but the visa stamp is issued by the embassies.
Difficult countries? If your nationality is regarded as not safe by the Vietnamese Government, then you need a company in Vietnam that can guarantee for your stay. You need the guarantee letter from that company in order to apply for any visa to Vietnam. E.g. citizens from India, Pakistan, most countries in Africa etc.
