How to Apply for Vietnam Visa from Pakistan in 2024

If you have a Pakistani passport and want to go to Vietnam, which is a beautiful country in Southeast Asia, you will need to get a visa. I have been to Vietnam twice, so I am going to share a guide on “how to apply for a Vietnam visa from Pakistan in 2023 or anywhere else with a Pakistani passport.” I can get you a Vietnam visa if you have a Pakistani card and are living in Pakistan or any other country. Remember that Pakistani people can not go to Vietnam without a visa.

If you want to go to Vietnam, you can get a visa at the Vietnam office in Islamabad. But you will need to give them a letter from Vietnam inviting them. People usually do not know anyone in Vietnam who can give them a letter of welcome. That is where we come in. Not only do we give you a welcome letter, but we also give you a letter of approval that lets you go straight to Vietnam, where you can get a visa when you land at the airport.

Apply for Vietnam Visa from Pakistan?

I am going to tell you how to get a Vietnam visa in Pakistan, step by step. With the help of our partner office in Vietnam, we can get this visa for you. If you carefully follow this guide, you do not need any help from an agent in Pakistan.

What is Vietnam Visa on Arrival for a Pakistani Passport with the Approval Letter?

First of all, you need an approval letter for your Vietnam visa, which you can get from our partner agency in Vietnam. It is simply a letter from Vietnam immigration that takes 15 business days to get there. Our partner business in Vietnam gets a visa approval letter for our clients from the immigration office. Once they get it, they email it to us. You just need to print that letter and you will be ready to go to Vietnam. For a small fee, you can get a visa sticker at the airport.

Requirements for Vietnam Visa Approval Letter

Because Vietnam immigration has become more strict about giving approval letters to people from Pakistan, you need to send in a few more papers. Some Pakistanis overstayed their visas in Vietnam, and others started working on visit visas, which is against the law. This visa can only be used for tourism.

We need the following documents from you so that we can ask for a letter of approval for a Vietnam visa. Please send these papers and the fee for the approval letter ahead of time so that we can start working on the letter as soon as possible.

Passport scanned copy (Must have 6 months validity)
Travel history (You must provide past visas & stamp copies)

Flight ticket reservation (unpaid)
Hotel reservation (unpaid)
The travel plan in Vietnam (places to visit)

Note: Please do not book your flight to Vietnam until you get the letter letting you know your visa has been approved. If you have traveled a lot to places like the US, UK, and Schengen, the letter of approval might come faster. Second, please ask for a letter of approval at least one month ahead of time.

How Much Vietnam Visa Will Cost in Pakistan

Pakistanis have to pay a little bit more for a Vietnam visa. The approval letter for a visa to Vietnam costs $150 per application. When you get to the airport in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, you have to pay an extra $25 for a sticker visa. So, your visa will cost you a total of $175 USD.

Vietnam Visa Processing Time for Pakistani Citizens

The process for getting a visa approval letter takes about 15 business days, but the immigration office can do it faster if they do not have a lot of work. It is up to them, and we can not do anything about how long it takes to finish. I recommend applying at least one month ahead of time to avoid trouble.

Also, please make sure to write the right arrival city, like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, on the approval letter. Once the letter is sent, that can not be changed. Second, immigration will only give you visa approval for the days you plan to travel. This means that once you get the permission letter, you have to travel as planned.

Vietnam Visa Requirements for Pakistani Citizens

When you get to the airport in Vietnam with a visa approval letter, all you need to do is show your valid passport (which must be good for at least six months), a photo, and fill out the visa application form that the immigration officer will give you at the airport. The visa filing fee is $25 USD, which you have to pay in cash.
