Depending on their purpose of visit the Vietnam visa for a Cypriot citizen can be one of the following three types:
1. Tourist Vietnam visa: a Cypriot citizen will be given this type of visa if he/she is visiting Vietnam for vacationing purposes only and aspires to sightsee around the country. These visas remain valid for a month only.
2. Business Vietnam visa: this type of visa will be allotted to a Cypriot citizen if he/she wants to conduct business activities in Vietnam. These visas can have validity somewhere from 1 month to 3 months.
3. Transit Vietnam visa: this visa type is allotted to people who wish to pass through Vietnam and visit another destination from Vietnam. These visas have a very short validity of 5 days only, and are only allotted on condition that the traveler exits to a third destination from Vietnam.
