You cannot get Vietnamese visas on entry at the land borders -- you have to arrange it in advance. You can get it on-arrival at Hanoi airport though.
personally I'd just get it in advance in Vientiane.

Posted from within Vietnam (why do we highlight this?).
You can only get visa-on-arrival in Hanoi airport if you have a stamped authorization doc from Vietnamese immigration. Don't expect just to show up and get a visa on arrival at the airport. Scandinavians and most asians don't need visa for up to 15 days. See visa section on www.vietnamtourism.com.

Be warned that Vietnames visa in Laos are quite expensive. In Vientiane we payed $50 at the embassy and had to wait 3 days. I subsequently saw them at travel agencies advertised for $45/$55/$65 for 3/2/1 day turnarounds. THey may be cheaper elsewhere in Laos I'm not sure.

Chunk79 was it difficult getting the Vietnam Visa in Vientiane? Was language or any other difficulties?
The price itself isn't a problem as it is still cheaper than getting the visa here in the UK and as I am going in 22 weeks I don't feel comfortable posting my passport. Are the visa's from travel agents mentioned legit? I thought you would have to get the visa from the embassy.

Hey Mattaysmith - did you get your Vietnamese Visa sorted in Laos? Would be good to hear of your experience with that. Cheers.

Hi, I got my Vietnam visa in Vientiane from the Vietnamese consulate about a month ago. It was quite expensive, $80 for a multi entry visa but it was ready the next day and was really easy to get.
