French citizens do not need a visa to Vietnam for 15 days. It is required a gap of 30 days between two free-visa. So French passport holders may need to apply for a visa to Vietnam. Currently, there are 02 ways to apply for a Vietnam visa from France. You can apply either at the Vietnam Embassy or apply for a visa on arrival airport. Therefore, the Vietnam visa fees are varied as it depends on the way, a type of visa, visa purpose, processing time….
