Ho Chi Ming Mausoleum, Hanoi Note this is different to the visa on arrival facility which is only available on entry at one of Vietnam’s international airports; Tan Son Nhut (Saigon), Noi Bai (Hanoi), Da Nang and Cam Ranh (Nha Trang) with Phu Quoc shortly to join the list.
The 15-day visa waiver system is also still in place, (check the aforementioned link again for eligible nationalities).
