Vietnam visa

Flag of Vietnam

Vietnam is an amazing country with picturesque nature, rich history and culture. Most foreign nationals need to apply to a Vietnamese consulate to obtain the appropriate visas and permits to enter, live and work in Vietnam. If a citizen wants to spend more time than allowed by a standard tourist visa or e-visa, they need to apply for a visa extension upon arrival in Vietnam. However, citizens of a small number of countries are exempt from visa requirements and can enter the country without a visa for short stays by simply presenting their passport at border control. Also, air passengers transiting Vietnam do not require a visa, provided they stay in the transit area of the airport and do not stay for more than 24 hours.

Thus, to avoid problems at border crossing, all tourists going on a fascinating trip to this picturesque Vietnamese country are strongly advised to prepare all the required documents well in advance and thoroughly.
