On approaching the embassy, you will be required to fill up a Visa application form. This Visa application form will be submitted along with a few other documents. You will have to have a valid and original Saudia Arabian passport, which will be submitted along with your filled up form, one recent passport sized photograph and a self-addressed envelope. These documents will be processed in a period of five working days and then you will be issued the Visa to Vietnam.
However, the approach through the embassy will require you to pay several visits till the process is complete. Also, if you do not wish to send in your valuable passport through postal mail for fear of misplacement, the Visa on Arrival facility is the ideal option for you.
• Apply for Visa on Arrival
The Visa on Arrival is highly popular because of the ease and convenience it offers. To apply for Visa on Arrival in Vietnam, you will have to get in touch with a reliable travel agent in Vietnam. You will be required to fill up an online form which will ask you for your details such as name, occupation, purpose of visit, duration of stay, date of arrival and date of departure etc. When filling up the purpose of visit, you will have to choose from three options – tourist, business and transit. The business visa comes with a validity of one month, three months and six months.
The tourist Visa comes with a validity of one month and transit Visa comes with a validity of five months only. Once you have applied for the Visa through the online form, you will have to wait for a few days till the form is processed. When the processing is complete, 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 will have to submit this letter of approval at the Visa on Arrival counter at the airport along with the Visa stamping fees to collect your Visa.
The Visa on Arrival facility is extended to only those who arrive in Vietnam by air. For those who take the land route, it is mandatory that they carry all documents with them.
