Here are some of the fees being recommended under the new rules being drafted by The Ministry of Finance, according to Tuoi Tre:

• Single-entry visa fees will rise from US$25 to $45.
• Three-month multiple-entry visa fees will rise from $50 to $65.
• For multiple-entry visas more than six months fees will rise from $100 to up to $255.

If you’re looking to get a Vietnamese visa on the cheap, your best bet is to arrive by air or sea as this will only set you back $5.
