The embassy will take at least five working days to process your documents. Once the documents are processed, you will be issued a fully stamped Visa. The biggest benefit of applying for Visa through the embassy is that you will have a fully stamped Visa in your hands before your departure to Vietnam. However, there are several shortcomings too. You will have to pay multiple visits to the embassy till the procedure is complete. Also, your valuable documents will be forwarded by postal mail, which means you could lose them if your package is misplaced or lost in transit.
An easier alternative to this method is Visa on Arrival. It is faster and more economical too. To apply for Visa on Arrival, you will have to get in touch with a travel agent based in Vietnam. You will have to fill an online application form on the travel agent’s website and enter details such as your name, occupation, purpose of visit, duration of stay etc. While filling up the purpose of visit section, you will have to choose from options such as business, tourist and transit. A business Visa offers validity of one month, three months and six months. A tourist Visa offers validity of one month and transit Visa offers validity of less than five days.
After you fill up the form, submit it for processing. Online forms are usually processed in a couple of days. After the form is processed, you will be issued a letter of approval. This letter of approval, along with the Visa stamping fees, needs to be submitted at the Visa on Arrival counter of the Vietnamese airport you arrive in to receive Visa on Arrival.
It is to be noted that the Visa on Arrival facility is only for those travelers who arrive in Vietnam by air. If you are travelling to Vietnam by land, then it is mandatory that you carry all your documents with you. In case of a cruise ship, the cruise authorities are to be contacted for information on Visa on Arrival.
