Or, an easier way is to apply for vietnam visa on arrival at airports of Vietnam (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh city or Danang city) which means you apply for your visa via the internet and pick the visa up at the Vietnam airport. This way is more convenient, faster and cheaper. The service fee is around 22 USD give or take and then when you pick up your visa at the airport you need another 25 USD/pp for stamping fee of single entry visa or 50USD/pp for stamping fee of multiple entry visa.
