The embassy will take at least five working days to process your documents. Once your documents are processed, you will be issued a fully stamped Visa. Although this process offers you the benefit of getting hold of a fully stamped Visa before leaving for departure, it has certain drawbacks. If you do not reside in an area near the embassy location, you will have to undertake a considerable amount of travel. This procedure requires the applicant to make several visits to the embassy before the process is complete. Also, it is quite time consuming.
The easier alternative to this method is Visa on Arrival. In order to apply for Visa on Arrival, you will have to get in touch with a reliable travel agent based in Vietnam. You can fill up the application form online and fill in your details such as your name, occupation, duration of stay, purpose of visit etc. When filling up the purpose of visit section, you will have to choose from options such as business, tourist and transit.
A business Visa offers a validity of one month, three months or six months. A tourist Visa comes with a validity of one month and a transit Visa comes with a validity of less than five days. If you are a transit visitor, you will have to leave Vietnam in less than five days or move to a third country after five days.
Usually online applications are processed in two days, after which you will be issued a letter of approval. This letter of approval can be collected by your travel agent on your behalf and he can have it forwarded to you. On reaching Vietnam, you will have to produce this letter of approval at the Visa on Arrival counter of the airport you arrive in. Along with the letter, you will have to pay the Visa stamping fees to collect your Visa on Arrival document.
It is to be noted that the Visa on Arrival facility is extended only to those travelers who arrive in Vietnam by air. For those taking land routes, it is mandatory that they carry all their documents with them while travelling. In case of a cruise ship, the cruise authorities can be contacted for information on Visa on Arrival.
