If we are citizens of Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, South Korea, Japan y Russia, We do not need to process a visa to travel to Vietnam, while citizens of other countries must complete the process and for this they have two options: apply for the visa at the Vietnam Consulate or apply for the visa upon arrival at the airport from Vietnam.
Arrival visa
This type of visa is obtained in the airports of Vietnam and to request it we must present to the Immigration Officer at the airport, a passport with a minimum validity of 180 days, two passport-size photos, the entry and exit form and the ticket to have canceled the official sealing fee (This can be canceled by Paypal, Onepay, Western Union or bank transfer and only in US dollars)
Types of visa to Vietnam
Depending on the reason for the trip, we can choose three types of visa: Tourist visa, with a maximum validity of one month; business visa, with a maximum validity of three months and visa for other reasons, with a maximum validity of three months.
Once the type of visa of the first group has been chosen, we will have to see in which of the following alternatives our application is found, according to the amount of income that we will have to the country: single entry visa, multiple entry visa, single entry visa in three months and multiple entry visa in three months.
Tips for traveling to Vietnam
Before traveling to this destination in Southeast Asia, it is important to bear in mind that its official currency is the Vietnamese dong and as it is almost impossible to buy this currency outside the country, the ideal is to travel to Vietnam with US dollars and credit cards. If we are fond of shopping, this destination is ideal because being very close to China we will find thousands of products at prices below the regular market price, especially in Vietnamese markets.
Regarding the climate, we must know that it is a tropical country but with a humid climate, its lowest temperatures being an average of fifteen degrees Celsius, therefore, we must have summer clothes and also a raincoat and some warm clothes for the rains unforeseen.
Finally, it is important to indicate that the Vietnam train is not a recommended means of transport, the best will be travel by airplane -for long distances- and by minibus to move between cities. Within the cities we can move on foot or by taxi.
