Vietnam is a part of the Indochina Peninsula located in South East Asia. This small nation has a huge history behind it. After the end of Vietnam War in the year 1975, this nation was left to wither away but the Vietnamese Government with its numerous reformation policies brought this nation back into the race. Today, hundreds of people come to Vietnam for trade and investments, tourism etc.
Vietnamese government over the years have come on terms with almost all the nations on the global map. By the year 2007, it had diplomatic relations with around 172 nations. Vietnam allows citizens from 17 nations to enter without a visa but Mexico not being one of them, makes it essential for Mexicans to have a visa even for short term stays in Vietnam.
The process of applying for a Vietnamese Visa is pretty simple. There are two things that you can do. First, you can locate the Vietnamese embassy and get all the necessary paper work done to obtain a visa. Second, you can apply for a VOA (Visa on arrival) and procure the Visa when you arrive at Vietnam.
In most of the cases, getting a VOA is better. It is a simple and a quick process. There are many travel agents who will do the needful for you. We suggest that you do some research before choosing your visa agent. You can then fulfil the online requirements, pay the required fees and let them arrange for your safe arrival. This type of visa is the best to go for if you are going to fly to Vietnam and will be landing at its major airports.
If you will be going to Vietnam, via land or water route, then you have to obtain a Visa from the official Vietnamese embassy in Mexico. You can apply online on their official website or visit them personally with all the documents to initiate your visa paper work. It should not take more than 5 working for the embassy to process your visa request.
