Ways of applying for visa
The Omani citizens can get a visa for Vietnam in two ways.
• Visa on arrival- This is the process in which the Omani people can get a Vietnam visa within 2 working days from applying online. This is the best possible way to grab a visa for those people who are planning to travel to Vietnam by air or for those who are living in a country where there is no Vietnam Embassy.
• Getting visa form Vietnam Embassy- This process is right now not available to the citizens of Oman as there is no Vietnam Embassy in Oman till now. People still wishing to apply for a visa through the Vietnam Embassy can visit the nearest Vietnam Embassy to get the same.
Visa fees
The citizens of Oman are asked NOT to apply for a visa on arrival as it may demand a high service fee. It may cost around $180 to $225 which also includes the stamping fee. Moreover chances are also there that the Vietnam Immigration Department might not accept the visa. On the other hand if you apply for visa through the Vietnam Embassy it will cost both your time and money. It is also a lengthy process and might take 4-5 business days for the visa to get approved.
Some important documents are needed in order to get visa on arrival. The citizen must provide his or her contact information in Vietnam. Showing the valid passport is not mandatory. You also need to furnish your receipt of hotel booking and the air ticket of the all round trip.
