I’m an American citizen. I am planing to visit Hoi An and Da Nang. Which kind of visa makes me easier to enter Vietnam and visit Hoi An?
Hoi An has a famous old quarter which is in a peaceful town in Vietnam. Many travelers desire to visit and explore this interesting destination.
Hoi An just takes about 30km from Da Nang city, so you can easily take a flight to this beautiful city and don’t need to transit in other cities. Then you take a bus to Hoi An within 30-45 minutes.
For American citizens, you can apply for E-visa or Visa On Arrival. Both of it are so easy and convenient to apply through a few simple steps via website. In order to know more about how to apply for it, you can access the website of tourism agencies to see more detailed information.
E-visa is accepted through 8 international airports:

Some countries such as China, HongKong, Macau, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Cambodia… have direct flights to Da Nang international airport, you can access the website to know which airport is the most suitable one with your plan. If not, you have to transit at Tan Son Nhat or Noi Bai airport which are in two biggest cities in Vietnam, then taking a domestic flight to Da Nang city.
Both Noi Bai airport (Ha Noi) and Tan Son Nhat airport (Ho Chi Minh city) have visa on arrival counter inside, so you can also get visa on arrival there. Of course, you can use Evisa at these two airports as well. Therefore, don’t worry if your flight is not direct flight to Da Nang.
