Do UK passport holders need a visa for a short stay in Vietnam?
Traveling to Vietnam on UK passport for a 6 day break from Thailand, do I need to apply for a visa before traveling, or do they do visa on arrival?
Answer summary
UK passport holders do not need to apply for a visa prior to traveling to Vietnam for short stays, as they can enter visa-free for up to 45 days. There has been some confusion regarding the need for a visa on arrival, but it has been clarified that British citizens can simply get their passport stamped upon arrival without any prior visa arrangements.

The visa "on arrival" has to be organised in advance. Allow at least 7 days.

not correct - UK passport holders can just walk in and get stamped - did it myself a few weeks ago.
