Also one can only avail for a transit visa if you are traveling with tour group and have a fixed travel schedule along with a recognized travel company known to organize international tours.
Is there an Embassy of Vietnam in Croatia?
No, currently Croatia does not have a Vietnam embassy or consulate within the country. So, citizens of Croatia are required to apply for a Vietnam visa via a nearby embassy located in their neighboring country.
One can also apply for a visa on arrival through the internet as various websites offer hassle free visa application for visiting Vietnam for the citizens of nations which do not have an embassy or consulate of Vietnam. The process of visa application through the consulate of a neighboring country can be a highly inconvenient one. So online visa application is the recommendable way to go.
