1) First, locate the Vietnam embassies established in the neighboring countries. These embassies will have their own set of instructions when it comes to visa applications. Hence, visit the official website or get in touch with them. Choose the one that suits your needs aptly in terms of money and time.
2) Most of the Vietnam embassies have a similar procedure. Fill up the application form that is made available on the website. You may download this form or even submit online if your embassy entertains online requests.
3) At the time of application, you will need to make a payment as well. Hence, enquire about the fee and the preferred currency before beginning the process.
4) After completing the form, affix a colored passport size photograph to the form and attach all the required documents. The embassy will also need the original passport in addition to the form for stamping the visa. Since, you cannot visit the embassy office in person; you will have to post all the documents to them. Therefore, hire a professional postal service that allows tracking of the consignment.
5) Once the embassy receives the application and accepts it, it will process the visa within 5 to 7 business days. In addition, send a pre paid envelope to the embassy with your address so that your visa can be shipped to you.
6) The process will take a significant span of time due to international postal services so plan your application keeping in mind the time involved.
7) Once you are in possession of the visa, ensure that the details are entered accurately. Any discrepancy, contact the embassy for a rectification immediately.
8) This visa will allow you to take a trip to Vietnam through any route – air, water, or land.
