If you do not hold a Vietnamese passport you will certainly be required to obtain a visa. The only exception is for some neighbouring countries.
We will be updating this blog on other countries who need to obtain a visa as well as 'Visa on Arrival' & Visa exemptions for Overseas Vietnamese in due course. Until then, we hope this information from the Vietnamese embassy will be of help.
