Nationals from some countries can enter Vietnam without a visa for certain period of time ranging from 15-90 days, such as Nordic and South East Asia. However, many travelers may wish to change their travel plan and stay in Vietnam longer than their given time. In this case, tourists need to apply for a visa while they are still in the country, and the fee they have to pay will be much higher than the normal one, around 50-70$ US.
So, keep in mind this problem when you plan your itinerary to Vietnam. It will save you a lot of money.
Happy travel.
