TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the need for a visa to enter Vietnam, highlighting that some nationals may qualify for visa exemptions, while others must obtain an e-visa prior to travel. Specifically, it notes that arrival port can influence visa options, and suggests checking the Embassy's website for accurate information.

Some nationals can get a visa exemption whereas everyone else needs to get an evisa before traveling. If you're not eligible for visa exemption then you won't get on the plane without a valid evisa.

U need to buy a visa first. For Vietnam the port of arrival is very important. Rest is easy peasy.

port of entry is irrelevant now, changed with the introduction of the 90 day multi entry evisa.
