๐ Donโt get too excited, the chances of you actually entering the country are as weeny tiny little as winning the lottery (okay maybe not like the very jackpot but at least second-place-ish, in short its still god damn low, and COSTLY)
โ๏ธ First of all, you need ๐ฆ๐ฃ๐ข๐ก๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฃ
Like most of you have known (or not), apart from being a Diplomats or Government Officials , you can enter as an โexpert/skilled worker/etc.โ and obviously that means there will have to be an organization (company/school/etc.) that can sponsor you.
โ๏ธ Then you can starting thinking about trying your luck.
Are you ready?
STEP 1๏ธโฃ. Your company needs to apply for your Special Entry Permit at the Labor Department (entry form, POA, passport info, visa/TRC info if any, business license etc.)

STEP 2๏ธโฃ. The Labor Dept will accept the application, process it, and send to People's Committee for approval, and that's where you (your company) will go to collect the result

STEP 3๏ธโฃ. Once you've gotten the People's Committee's approval, put it together with the usual business visa application documents (NA2, NA16 form, work schedule, entry details, visa info if you don't have a valid visa/TRC yet, passport info, business license etc.) and apply at Immigration

STEP 4๏ธโฃ. When the Entry Approval Letter is issued, you can use that to be granted entry into Vietnam (and a visa on arrival as well if you don't have visa yet, and of course you need to pay for visa sticker)
STEP 5๏ธโฃ. Quarantine, just after you obtain the entry stamp, you will be put under quarantine, whereabouts, length and cost will be decided by the Medical Department.

Never forget that the entry approval letter is only one of many requirements, and shall you fail to meet only one of them, EVERYTHING WILL BE RUINED!, you need to think of many more things such as...
1/ Flights
Not only they're hard to find, but they can be cancelled at last minute, and policies are different among airlines so make sure you do enough research
2/ Health check
After all this is the main cause of everything, so health check is a must, and different countries have different laws/procedures so I can't tell what you need to do
3/ Embassy letter
Some countries have Vietnam embassies/consulates and some don't so this is not really a must, else it's be very unfair, but it does increase the chance of entering Vietnam so maybe get it if you can (contact them first for details and what you need to obtain such letter)
and possibly more...
All in all, approval letter, flight ticket, health check, quarantine, etc. together can cost you up to 3-4k usd (and still not guaranteed entry) so make sure you have given it some thoughts before taking action
and here comes the "rip-off service offer that you have the right to not do but will complain about the cost anyway"
ENTRY APPROVAL LETTER (including step 1-2-3):
800USD - that's right, eight...f*cking...hundred....US....dollars
We only do for companies registered in Ho Chi Minh city so if you have such sponsor company and they can't do it themselves, we can provide service for that.
And once again, that's only 1 in many steps, I provide the letter and that's it, afterwards you're on your own, so THINK CAREFULLY
That was a lot of details, I hope i wasn't missing anything, if anyone wants to add anything please feel free to leave a comment and I will include it in the post for everyone, any contribution is highly appreciated.
Have a good day everyone, and good luck!
