Vietnam visa payment

Am going through a site stayinvietnam.com to order my visa for vietnam. Am a bit apprehensive about payment method. They request a fax of a full copy of my visa front and back which is basically giving them all details of my card and so full access. Is this a common form of payment to get visas? anyone have any experience with this at all?

It is sometimes a legitimate practice - though usually for very high value purchases - or those with a recurring payment. I personally have only had to do this to rent servers for this site (once) and have since stayed clear of such methods.

So - I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Are you flying straight to vietnam? - are there any other options? visiting an embassy or flying via to a country that is close and gives a visa on arrival? Reply to this

Actually you can ask making the visa through your travel agent where you book the tour in Vietnam. The cost for visa will cheaper around 10 USD/ visa.

You just can get the approval letter only. when you arrive Vietnnam international airport, you have to pay more: 25 USD/ visa.

Hope you will have a nice memory about Vietnam!
