Once approved, you will be allowed to receive your visa at international airports in Vietnam upon arrival.
Note: During the current Covid-19 period, Vietnam government only allows receiving visas at the Vietnamese airport or at the embassy / consulate when there are “entry permits” and “visa approval letter”. You cannot apply visa directly at the embassy / consulate like before.
