As of Feb. 1, 2017, Vietnam has an eVisa program which includes the United States.

As an ugly American, I have been sticking to the many nations where I do not need to apply for a visa. Vietnam always seemed particularly sketchy, as it was hard to find out the fees ahead of time and there were reports of the fees being ” situational”.

Now, it’s just fill out a web form, upload a picture, and pay a flat fee. Not guaranteed, though.
