All about visa to Vietnam





Visa to Vietnam - Information on Vietnamese visa formalities 

Before applying for a Vietnam visa, it is important to determine when and how long you will travel to Vietnam. The maximum valid duration of standard tourist visa is 30 days. You should ask for the maximum period of Vietnam visa to give you more flexibility and make sure that your visa is stamped with the correct dates, correct entry and exit points. Processing normally takes between a week and ten days (some embassies offer an express service for an extra fee), but longer for overseas Vietnamese. To be on the safe side, allow several weeks as mistakes are common and inexplicable delays often occur.
