Visa to vietnam

Like almost countries, Vietnam requires that the international visitors must apply for a visa to Vietnam in advance either in person/by mail at a consular office or over the internet through travel agents. Attempting to enter Vietnam without a visa may results in removal from the country.

What’s my first move?

Firstly, you should consider application option in order that you will have a preparation accordingly:

·   If you hunt for application at the embassy/consulate, you will have to leave your passport for processing.

·   Online visa application is a hassle-free way of getting visa to Vietnam but it is helpful at airport only.

How to apply?

When hunting for Vietnam visa from the embassy, you should start at the embassy website on which you will find an application form. Download the form to your computer, fill it out, print and hand deliver it to the embassy along with your original passport (minimum validity of 6 months), 01 passport photo and visa fees.
