Applying for an embassy visa:
The major route for applying for a visa is through the embassy. San Marino does not have its own Vietnam embassy making it difficult for the citizens. You may contact an embassy in the neighboring countries to complete the procedure. You may approach embassies in Italy, France, Greece, Germany, etc. Understand the different procedures and select the one that is most comfortable for you.
1) Once you have selected an embassy, start the application procedure. The basic procedure is to fill the application form, affix a photo and submit the relevant documents.

3) You have to pay an application fee for the procedure, confirm the currency and amount before applying.
4) The entire process takes about 5-7 days but you will have to account for the time taken by international postal service.
