I am coming to Ho Chi Minh next week and was wondering what the status is regarding entry with a UK passport? I read that visa free access for 15 days has been granted to UK passport holders since a few months ago. Is this correct? Has anyone actually done this procedure at the airport with a UK passport? If so I assume the process is quite simple?

Thanks in advance!

Hi...I'm from the UK too and this is the new legislation.Now whether or not it applies I cannot say?
How long do you intend staying ? If you are just " passing through" en route to somewhere else it should be ok, but I would definitely check before coming.
Normally you need an Invitation Letter and then pick up visa at the airport.
VN visa rules change very often...check out other references on this and other sites.
Best of luck ! Enjoy your time here.!

Just get the flight and show your passport to enter the country. Ignore the “visa on arrival” queue at the airport, that's for people buying a visa and you won't need a visa (but if you plan to stay more than 15 days).
