1) Find out details about the Vietnam embassies located in the neighboring nations. There are established Vietnam embassies in Mozambique, India, Tanzania, Zimbabwe etc. These embassies have their own set of rules when it comes to accepting visa requests. Hence, visit their websites for all the details. Opt for the one that can hand you a visa in the least possible turnaround time.
2) Most of the embassies have a similar kind of procedure. Fill up the visa application form that has been provided on the embassy website. You can take a print out of this form or submit it online if the embassy accepts online submissions.
3) You will also need to make a payment at the time of application. Hence, find out about the fee and the acceptable currency before starting the process.
4) After completing the form, attach a passport size, colored photo to this form and all the required documents. The embassy will also need your original passport along with the form for stamping the visa. Since, you cannot visit the embassy in person; you will have to mail the completed form to them. Hire a professional postal service that allows you to track the deliverables.
5) Once your request is accepted by the embassy, the visa will be processed within 5 to 7 business days. In addition to this, send along a pre paid envelope to the embassy, so that your visa can be sent to you.
6) The process, however, is going to be time consuming due to the international postal service, so plan your journey keeping this in mind.
7) Once the visa has been received, ensure that the details are accurate. For any discrepancy, get in touch with the embassy for rectification.
8) This visa will allow you to embark on a trip to Vietnam through any passage – air, water, or land.
