5) The Vietnamese government has been trying to boost tourism to the beautiful Phu Quoc islands. All tourists visiting the islands are exempt from applying for a visa provided that their stay is limited to the islands and that they stay restricted to the islands.
These are just a few of the major ones. It is advisable that the applicants get themselves familiarized with the exemptions before applying for the procedure. If these applications do not apply to you, you will have to apply for a visa. This can be done by one of the two routes, embassy or VOA.
For Embassy Visa:
Embassy has been the traditional source for a visa but getting a visa through an embassy can be tricky as Palau doesn’t have a Vietnam embassy. A Palauan citizen wising to obtain an embassy visa will have to contact the embassies in the neighboring countries to get an embassy visa. Each country has a slightly different protocol for visa hence it is advised to understand these procedures and select the one that is most suitable for you. You may look at the list of embassies available at the Vietnam Embassy website.
For VOA:
Getting an embassy visa is a tedious, time consuming and expensive process especially in countries without an embassy. Visa on Arrival (VOA) makes the process stress free. Agencies like ours can help make the process easier for you with the experience gained by helping many applicants like you. The entire process is online and does not require the submission of documents. You just have to fill an application form the rest of the process is taken care of by us. While applying for a VOA you must remember that it is applicable only to air travel.
