do i need a visa?

Sep 05, 2016

my husband and I are both British and are flying to Hanoi on 5/10/16. We plan to stay in vietnam for just under 2 weeks before going by train to china for 5 weeks and then returning to Hanoi by train from china to fly back to the UK on 30/11/16. Is it correct that UK citizens are exempt from visas for stays under 15 days ? ..would this apply for 2 entries 5 weeks apart if both stays are under 15 days or would we need to get visas? if we do need visas, would this need to be 2 single entry visas or a 3 month multiple visa?
many thanks for your advice!

Dear Sir/ Madam

Thank you for your question.

It is informed that British do not need visa for 15 days. However, the previous visit must be far at least 30 days the next visit. So for your first trip to Hanoi on Oct/05/2016, if you haven't been to Vietnam before and just stay under 2 weeks, you do not need to get visa. But for the return to Vietnam, if this return is not far 30 days the first visit, you have to get visa . By the way, please be noted that visa on arrival is only valid at Vietnam airport. So if you want to come back Vietnam by train, you should contact to Vietnam Embassy in China or your living country to get it.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact us.

Best Regards,
