1) Since there is no embassy here, as an applicant, you will have to approach the Vietnam embassy located in some other nation. For example, there are Vietnam embassies in Algeria, Libya, and Nigeria etc. You will need to contact one of these embassies to process your request for visa.
2) Since you cannot visit an embassy located in another nation, you will have to complete the entire documentation through a registered postal service. This will add to your time and cost, hence plan the trip accordingly.
3) You can obtain the application form from the website. You may fill the form online or you may simply download it. You must contact the embassy to find out whether they accept online applications or not. This will lessen your task to some extent.
4) The embassy will need your original passport as well for stamping of the visa hence you need to make sure you send it across via a good courier service.
5) Each embassy accepts its own currency for payment of the processing fee. Hence, find out about all this, before you initiate the visa process. Pay the required fee without which the application will not be accepted.
6) Once the form reaches the embassy, and is accepted by them, the visa will be granted in the next 5 to 7 working days depending upon the embassy you have chosen.
7) You will also need to send a prepaid envelope to the embassy with your address so that the visa can be send to you.
8) This visa will let you enter into Vietnam via any preferred route i.e. road, air, or water.
This procedure is quite costly and tough due to involvement of the international postal services and procedures. Hence, you can go ahead and opt for a visa on arrival. This type of visa can be used only for air journeys and is much more reasonable and easier than the embassy visa. We will assist you in getting VOAs in the shortest possible time frame.
