I think the actual cost of the 5-year visa is around $25, but I used an agency because I couldn't figure it out since the application form is in Vietnamese with no English.

The processing time for the 5-year visa varies. I applied for it based on marriage. They (the Vietnamese Embassy) wanted to check in Vietnam that I had actually gotten married there and not forged the marriage certificate that I presented as evidence. It took about 2 months for me to get it.

The easiest way is contact your local Vietnamese travel agent, if there is one in your area. I got mine done for less than $100, cannot remembered the actual amount. You have to hand over your passport to the agent because they have to send the passport to Vietnamese consulate to have the visa glued to the passport.

You have the option of a loose leaf visa-exemption certificate or one glued in your passport. I was offered that choice. I've also seen both kinds.
