Many embassies of Vietnam say that The Embassy of Vietnam is the sole authority responsible for issuing Vietnamese visas and that they do not recommend visa-on-arrival and online visa. They have also listed our website and stated that we are fake or scam. It is unfair and not true.
We got established way back in 2007 with the service of arranging for pre-approval visa letter for picking up visa on arrival at the international airport of Vietnam. The visa pre-approval letter and visa issuing office at the airports come from the Vietnam Immigration (government) for making travelers get visa to Vietnam with less hassle, especially for travelers coming from the countries without Vietnam embassy or consulate.
Visa on arrival is recommended by TripAdvisor and many other travel forums as an alternative option for getting Vietnamese visa without going to queue at the embassy.
It therefore makes no sense for us to have been active all the way from 2007 until now at all if we are fake or scams. You can get back your money if you feel that we are untrusted or even unhappy with our services. Your Paypal and bank are always on your side to protect your wallet.
