Disadvantages of applying for a Vietnam visa in person through the embassy or consulate office of a neighboring country:
As can be well perceived there are two major disadvantages in the process of applying for a Vietnam visa through the Vietnam embassy or consulate of a neighboring nation:
1. One will need to take up a leave from their work to unnecessarily travel to a foreign country, which will require time as well as extra traveling costs. There is also the provision for staying at the country while your visa procedure gets completed.
2. When applying for a visa in person through a Vietnam embassy one will be required to wait in long waiting queues at the office for all the procedures to be completed which is not only time consuming but also troublesome.
3. Applying for a visa in person will require you to only be able to apply on working days and during the specified business hours which is not the case for online applications as they can be done at anytime from anywhere. An online Vietnam visa application website remains in operation 24/7.
Thus, it can be very well understood that for applying for a Vietnam visa, the best and most convenient method of application is through the internet.
