It was really great news that since 25th August 2016, US passport holders are accepted to grant 1-year visa to Vietnam. The visa allows American to enter with multiple times and stays in Vietnam maximum 1 year, with tourist or business purpose. The 1 month and 3 months are still available for US citizens but on this post, we will go in details of the Vietnam 1 year visa for US citizens only.
Difference between the 1 year Vietnam business visa and the 1 year Vietnam tourist visa for US citizens
The main point between this 1-year visa for US citizens is in how long the US citizens can actually stay in Vietnam:
The 1 year Vietnam tourist visa required users have to leave the country for every 90 days. It means that you can not stay in Vietnam for more than 90 days in 1 time, and have to leave the country and return for another 90 days stay. In case you can not go, the visa extension service is available for this type of visa.
With 1-year Vietnam business visa, the maximum duration of staying in Vietnam is 1 year without leaving the country. Depending on your purpose and plan, you have to think and apply a suitable one to save your time and money.
