British passport holders DO NOT require a visa before coming to Vietnam for holiday/tourist purposes for up to 15 days. To stay longer in Vietnam, you have to apply for a visa. At this time, there are 2 ways to get a Vietnam visa for British passport holders. You can choose to apply either at the local Embassy or apply for a visa on arrival airport. Also, foreign residents or travelers, who NEED a visa to Vietnam from the United Kingdom, can follow the same way.
