We will send it to you via email. This visa code will also be simultaneously faxed to the Vietnam Embassy or Consulate in your area (as per your request in the application form). You will need to wait 1 or 2 days more before coming to the Embassy as the Immigration need time to fax your information to the Embassy.

For "Visa on-arrival" service: you just show the Visa Approval letter TWICE: to the airlines in your country when you check in, and to the Immigration officer at the Vietnam's airport upon arrival to get the visa stamped onto your passport.
