You will have to pay around 50USD to 80USD per person in addition to the postal cost. Vietnamese embassies require your passport available when you apply for a visa code.
Getting a visa on arrival or applying visa online is another way to get visa to Vietnam. The difference is that you do not have to go to the Vietnamese embassies but go online and send your application form to a visa service in Vietnam. You will get an approval letter after 2 working days from the Vietnam Immigration Department (1 day for urgent situations). All you have to do next is to print it and bring it to your arrival airport for visa stamped onto your passport. There will be no errors or decline with you because the Immigration Department has checked all of your information thoroughly before sending the approval letter to you via e-mail. Besides, they have to work closely with the visa service to be sure that you will get your visa at the airport on time. The
