This term is more and more common with foreigners nowadays but still many people wonder if it is legitimate or not.

Vietnam has allowed travel agencies to obtain a visa on arrival for their customers on their behalf. Originally, travelers have to find out their Vietnam Embassies at their country and come there to ask for visa and come back there again to take visa on an agreed date. This way is not convenient and time-consuming for people who are far away from the Vietnam Embassies at their country. Even, previously, only travelers booking a tour in Vietnam can have their visa offered by the travel agent that obtained an international tour operator license.
