The embassy of Vietnam can be reached out to for Visa application. The procedure is quite simple and easy. You will have to visit the Embassy and seek assistance from the Embassy officials for Visa application. You will take through a step by step procedure on Visa application. Along with the application form, you will be asked to submit the original valid Venezuelan passport you hold, a recent passport sized photograph and a self addressed envelope. All these documents will be submitted at the embassy for processing.
The embassy will take about five working days in order to process all your documents. Once the documents are processed, you will get your Visa in the envelope you have submitted. Besides the documents, you will have to pay a certain amount as Visa fees. These fees can be paid in favour of the Embassy of Vietnam via money order or cashier’s cheque. You may have to pay additional fees such as Visa processing fees, fees for shipping and handling etc., the information of which you can get from the embassy officials. The advantage of applying through the Embassy is that you will get the Visa in hand before you leave for Vietnam.
Another way in which you can apply for the Visa is through the Visa on Arrival facility. This procedure is quite popular because of the ease and convenience it offers. If you are someone who doesn’t have the time to visit the Embassy or you live in a far flung area, the Visa on Arrival method is the ideal choice for you. Also it is faster and cheaper as compared to the embassy method. It is for this reason that most people apply for Visa on Arrival through online application.
In order to apply for Visa on Arrival, you will have to get in touch with a reliable travel agent who can help you get the online application filled up. You will have to enter several details in the online form. Once this form is processed, you will be issued a letter of approval. This letter of approval can be collected by your travel agent and forwarded to you. On reaching Vietnam, you can submit this letter of approval at the Visa on Arrival counter along with the Visa stamping fees and collect your Visa. The Visa on Arrival holds the same value as the Visa issued by the embassy.
It is to be noted that the Visa on Arrival facility is extended to only those who arrive in Vietnam by air. For those taking land routes, it is mandatory that they carry all their required document with them while travelling. In case of cruise ship, the cruise authorities can be contacted for information on Visa on Arrival.
