Visa on arrival for Guatemalan citizens
Guatemalan citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.

You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. For consular help, check the list of Vietnamese missions on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (mofa.gov.vn) for the one that covers Guatemala.
Tips for Guatemalan travelers
Two points help Guatemalan travelers: ordering at the right hour, and handling mixed claims about visa on arrival.
Order in your evening, not your morning
Ordered at 9:00 in the morning in Guatemala City, your file reaches Vietnam after every urgent cut-off and starts at 8:00 the next Vietnamese morning, which is 19:00 that evening in Guatemala City. Ordered at 19:00 instead, every speed is still open.
Visa on arrival needs a letter first
Some guides list visa on arrival as unavailable and others as an option. It works only by air at Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh, and only with an approval letter obtained before you fly.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
