  1. Dear Sir
    I am a Korean Passport holder- Name YONGIK KIM, Passport No M77171342- and I have visited Vietnam twice recently. My first visit was made from 21 Feb to
    01 Mar without Visa. The second visit was made from 24 Mar to 28 Mar after
    getting Visa issued on 19 Mar- No AH0266045,Category DL-. Now I am planning
    to visit Vietnam again within several days time.
    Some people say that I don’t need to get Visa this time for entry into Vietnam because I visited with Visa previously even though it has not been passed one
    month time. In this regard, you are kindly requested to confirm whether I need
    to apply for a new Visa or not. Your soonest reply will be highly appreciated.
