How to get a visa for visiting Vietnam in Japan?

At present, there are 3 options to obtain a visa for visiting Vietnam from Japan. Citizens of Japan or citizens of other countries who are in Japan can follow below instructions to get a visa for visiting Vietnam.

Option 1: Apply for e-visa of Vietnam

From Jan 2017, the Government of Vietnam has officially launched e-visa application program. Until now, citizens of 80 countries, including citizens of Japan can apply for e-visa at the official website of the government.
