What is a Vietnam Visa? 

A Vietnam visa is an official document that permits foreign nationals to enter and stay in Vietnam for a specified duration. There are various types of Vietnam visas, each with distinct requirements and validity periods. The most common visa for tourists is the single-entry e-visa, which allows a 30-day stay from the date of entry.
