Can I get a Vietnam visa on arrival without a visa approval letter?

Hey. I am going to Vietnam in this July. I want to get a visa on arrival. Do I have to apply for a visa approval letter online or just fly to Hanoi airport and get visa stamped there? Thank you. Selena.

Dear Selena,

Be kindly informed that if you want to get a visa on arrival, visa approval letter is a must. It is issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department as an official permission allowing you to get on flight and get visa stamped onto your passport upon arrival at Vietnam airport.  You will be refused for boarding if you don’t have this approval letter.

Have a nice day,
