How to get Vietnam visa for Samoans

SAMOA

• Complete Name: Independent State of Samoa

• Native Name: Samoa

• ISO-Code: WSM

• Capital: Apia

Requirements for visa applicants from Samoans

If you are a Vietnam visa applicant from Samoa, you will need to take note of the following two ways by which you can apply for the Vietnam visa:

- By making an online application for the Vietnam visa through our service

- By directly applying to the Vietnam embassy for the Vietnam visa.

1. Direct application to the Vietnam embassy in Samoa

Direct application entails visiting a Vietnam embassy from the nearest country since Samoa does not have a Vietnam embassy as of yet. From there you will be given information that you need for your visa application process. You will also learn of the various visa application fees that should be paid by you.

If you however feel restricted by your duties that you hardly can reach the Vietnam embassy in person, you can always use the visa by post service, which saves you from having to show up at the embassy. All that you will need to do is contact the Vietnam embassy in advance and let them confirm to you that they offer visa by post service. We are reachable via email: evisavn1@gmail.com

2. Online application for the Vietnam visa

You can acquire your Vietnam visa from a Vietnam international airport or from a Vietnam embassy by applying for one through us. Once you visit our website and get to fill in the visa application forms and pay the visa service fees, we will provide you with the letter of approval that allows you to proceed with the visa application at the following two points:

- From the international airports in Vietnam (Tan Son Nhat (SGN), Noi Bai (HAN), Da Nang (DAD), Cam Ranh (CXR), Phu Quoc (PQC), …..)

- From the Vietnam embassy/consulate

All that is needed from you at these visa collection points is your travel passport, your 2 passport photos and your letter of approval from us. You will then have to pay the visa stamping fees while there before you are finally issued your visa to Vietnam.

Comparison between the direct visa application procedure and online visa application plan

With the direct application procedure at the Vietnam embassy, you can only apply for the Vietnam visa during working hours. This policy means weekends and public holidays are exempted from the regular work hours hence no visa applications can be made nor processed during then.

Direct visas from the embassies take a lot of time, roughly 5 working days and sometimes even more days to process and procure a visa. During this time, most of your regular activities will stop at your absence to seek a Vietnam visa in a foreign country.

Direct application procedure for the Vietnam visa is strenuous considering the long queues of visa applicants at the Vietnam embassy. On the other hand, the visa on arrival procedure is accessible via the internet hence visa applicants can apply for their Vietnam visas even from the comfort of their homes.

• ISO-Code: STP

• Capital: São Tomé

Vietnam visa application requirements for Tomean citizens

If you are a Tomean citizen and need to visit Vietnam, you are required to apply for the Vietnam visa. You can acquire your Vietnam visa by the following two ways:

- By applying online through our website

- By directly applying to the Vietnam embassy/consulate

1. How to directly apply to the Vietnam embassy/consulate

Tomean citizens can apply for the Vietnam visas from nearby countries that have the Vietnam embassy since their country does not have one. It is from these embassies that they will learn of what requirement they have to meet including the various visa processing fees. The applicants can also opt for the visa by post service, which saves them from having to travel to the Vietnam embassy in person just to apply for the Vietnam visa. However, applicants who opt this way will first have to contact the Vietnam embassy and confirm if the service is availed there, since the visa application procedures vary from one embassy to another. If you have any information or concerns to raise, be sure to contact us by the email address: evisavn1@gmail.com

Not all countries have a Vietnam embassy hence visa applicants from such zones have to cover great distances and incur travel and accommodation costs during their stay in the foreign countries just to apply and follow up their visa application procedures from the embassies. This service is more demanding considering that the visa on arrival takes only two working days to issue a letter of approval during which the Vietnam visa is already produced.

The visa applicants also have to cope up with long queues at the embassy when waiting to be attended to. For applicants who come from far zones and sometimes from countries that do not have a Vietnam embassy or consulate, they will have to cope up with high costs of stay while renting their accommodation at least for the 5 days when waiting for their Vietnam visas.

2. How to apply for the Vietnam visa through our service

When you get to apply for the Vietnam visa through our website, you will have to fill in the visa application form provided there and pay the visa processing fees with us. Ensure you follow our instructions correctly and complete all the blanks in the forms by providing valid information. If your data is valid then we will serve you with the letter of approval, with which you can further pursue your Vietnam visa at the Vietnam embassy or from any of the international airports in Vietnam (Tan Son Nhat (SGN), Noi Bai (HAN), Da Nang (DAD), Cam Ranh (CXR), Phu Quoc (PQC), …..). All that is required from you at these visa collection points are your two passport photos, your passport document and your letter of approval. Lastly, you will pay your visa stamping fee to get your Vietnam visa.

Vietnam travel tour guides

The goal and purpose of these people is to give a comprehensive and up to date report and information about the travelling and staying in the country. Vietnam’s official language is Vietnamese, a tonal language spoken as a mother tongue by 90% the country’s population. Vietnamese is written using a 29 letter alphabetical system. However, the accent of Vietnamese varies from province to province. Besides Vietnamese, around 50 other languages are spoken by ethnic minorities. English is a popular foreign language and is used in mostly in offices, restaurants in big cities or tourism places. French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese… are also popular and can be found in tourist places. Worry not when planning a Vietnam travel, these tour guides will always help translate the language to you understanding. Try to find an English speaking tour guide so as not to miss on the Vietnam history and culture, without a guide who will be interpreting to you.

Tour guides will always tell and advise you that Vietnam travel is always friendly and safe place to travel. With a sprinkling of common sense, your trip should be smooth and trouble free. Tourists usually complain about over-aggressive street vendors, tour operators with a bad attitude and dangerous driving habits. However, with a cool head and sensible planning, you can avoid these problems by simply finding the best tour guide to take you through.

 DOS

  • Vietnamese dress conservatively. Despite the heat, it’s best not to show off too much skin. If you do, especially girls, you’ll only draw stares from the locals.

  • Dress well when visiting pagodas. No shorts or tatty beer t-shirts. Shoes are fine, and rarely will you have to remove them. If unsure, just follow what the locals do.

  • Drink plenty of bottled water, especially when walking around sightseeing. No need to carry huge bottles around with you, a vendor is never far away and no doubt they will find you before you find them.

  • Keep your cash, credit cards, airline tickets and other valuables in a safe place.

  • Travel with recommend tour agencies. Even if you plan to buy tickets when in country, research your journey a little first on the Internet. A good resource is Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree Forum, where fellow tourists discuss travel in Vietnam.
DON’TS

  • Violent crime is highly unusual in Vietnam, but petty crime is more apparent. If you have a bag, or tout a digital camera around your neck, you are a potential target.

  • When taking a ride by motorbike taxi (xe om) make sure your bag, if any, is not on display or easy to grab. Bag snatches, although still rare, are probably the most likely crime a tourist would encounter.

  • Don’t wear singlets, shorts, skirts or dresses, or revealing clothes to temples or pagodas.

  • Physical displays of affection between lovers in public are frowned upon. That’s why you may come across couples holding hands but not hugging or kissing.

  • Losing your temper in Vietnam means a loss of face. Keep a cool head and remain polite, you’ll have a greater chance of getting what you want.

  • Remember, this is Vietnam, is a developing country, and things don’t quite work as you are maybe used to. Don’t be paranoid about your safety; just be aware of your surroundings.

WHY CONSIDER HA LONG BAY AND SAPA WHEN ON VIETNAM TRAVEL

Being a very beautiful country of striking landscapes, Vietnam also offers world class tourist destinations for anyone in the holiday spirit. The country has many unforgettable beautiful places to visit. The two major ones I think you should not miss out on when on Vietnam travel are the Ha long bay and Sapa. The two are great highlights of Vietnam for good reasons. The two are in no way the same but are both beautiful and major spots you wouldn’t want to miss out on. However, the main driving factor behind you choice should be solely grounded on your interests and what you wish to get out of your trip.

Ha long bay (bay of descending dragons), is situated in North of Vietnam around a 120km coastline. It is so breathtaking and it features thousands of islands. Most of them are hollow with enormous caves. Others include lakes and some even support floating villages of fishermen. Each is topped with thick jungle vegetation forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. This beautiful bay offers an array of activities that will make Vietnam travel even more interesting. This includes kayaking, swimming, rock climbing, cycling and boat trips. Boat cruises happen to be the best way to experience the natural wonder of Ha long bay. There are several boats ranging from traditional Chinese junks to luxury cruisers, and when on board, meals are provided. You also get to enjoy nightlife activities and excursion stops where islands caves and lagoons can be explored.

Sapa on the other hand has some jaw dropping scenic vistas on a clear day. It is a place in the remote northwest of Vietnam surrounded by pictorial mountains, rice terraces and a diversity of hill tribes’ .If by any chance you are interested in ethnic minorities or you are a trekker, this is definitely the place to be in the course of your visit. This is due to the fact that, guided treks which include visits to the ethnic minority villages are available from half day and range from easy to challenging. These tours present views of beautiful waterfalls, and the opportunities to experience the food, customs and way of life among the local tribes. This fascinating experience will make your visit very unforgettable.

If you are looking to relax during your visit, both places offer this opportunity. When in halong bay, you can relax on deck or on Cat Ba Island, on the beach, whereas in Sapa, relaxation will be in the form of finding a spot overlooking the valley maybe with a good book to read. Unfortunately, Sapa has no sunbathing spots as the only pool in town is covered and only accessible to guests of the Victoria Sapa Hotel, and also if you are looking to party Sapa is also not a place for you. Both places can get very chilly during winter; therefore they may not be suitable if you are looking to make the best of some warmth during your Vietnam travel.

Vietnam travels advisories

There is no nationwide advisory body in effect to give travellers advisory for Vietnam travel. However, you are advised to practice a high scale of restraint due to increasing petty crime affecting foreigners. It is not somebody else responsibility to tell you to make a Vietnam travel. Before you make such plans you are required to get informed on the current issues and information so as to make good decisions for your trip.

Crime

In most of the big cities though there are no serious crime reported, but there have been some minor crimes where the perpetrators use razors and knives to threaten and steal from the tourists who make travel to Vietnam. When leaving the airport always use the airport taxis or hotel travel services to avoid theft and other forms of crimes.  If on arrival you expect to be picked up, then always asked for the drivers name and phone number this is because there are some people who will pretend to be your driver and they will take you and loot everything you may be carrying. Remember also to know where you are going to avoid to be taken to a wrong place where you might be robbed off.

Credit card fraud

There are several forgeries in credit cards that are meant to steal your money. It’s advised not to use your credit cards in small shopping places and always to remain keen when doing your transactions. It will be safer if you get another credit card and load it with not more funds but only which you will wish to spend while in Vietnam.

Piracy

They mostly occur in the coastal regions and in the waters. Yes there is the Vietnam navy that patrols but sometimes the pirates may use tricks to get to you and others while on the shore.

Accidents

Be informed as you make plans for the Vietnam travel that there are accidents that do occur in Vietnam and in most cases lead to death and total deformation. The roads and cars are poorly maintained, the cities are densely populated and the drivers are driving recklessly so as you travel, take caution for such. In case of rainfall most roads become very impassable and night travels are very dangerous more so to foreigners. Regardless of whether you are a driver in your home country with a valid driving license, when you get to Vietnam and wish to drive you must get a Vietnam driving license else you risk arrest and prosecution for violation of the state laws. It is even better if you hire a car and a driver to avoid this arrests and prosecutions.

Food and meals

While in the hotels, never at any given time leave you food in the hands of a stranger even when going for a short call or whatever thing that may make you leave your table. Also don’t take or accept any kind of snacks, cigars or gums from stranger, this because they may contain drugs that may impair you thinking and even the eye sight. Remember also not to buy any drink from street vendors as the quality of the drink may be questionable.

Emergency

In case of any emergency dial 113 for the police assistance, 144 for firefighters, and 155 for ambulance.

Vietnam travel statistics

Over the past ten years Vietnam has experienced an extraordinary growth in tourism industry as the numbers of people applying for a Vietnam travel goes up; the increase has been experienced from the 1998 which shows up to 286%, with a farther increase in the late years where there has been an increase of 20%. The number tourists planning for a Vietnam travel is expected to go much higher as a result of the combined effects of the global collapse and the 30% deflation that rocked the country, coupled with massive reduction in the price of fuel resulting in lower tour and accommodation prices. Prices have since begun to fall across the country, and many hotels have reduced their prices. With some many challenges in this industry, the number of guests is assumed to reach 4,350,000 – a 3.5-4% growth compared to the previous years, and it is reported that the Vietnam Administration of Tourism will soon begin running worldwide television adverts which will result to a much higher margin of guests visiting Vietnam.

Currently tourism generates $3 billion in revenue for Vietnam, which based on 2007’s GDP resulting to $71 billion (based on market exchange rate, not Purchasing Power Parity) means it accounts for 4.2% of the nation’s GDP, and is an important source of foreign currency that assists the Vietnam government to manage its debts and budget as well.

By 2010 the administration of tourism projects visitor numbers to rise to 6 million arrivals and $4 – $4.5 billion in revenue.

A survey done in 2010 showed that of the 8,300 tourists who responded 34% had visited Vietnam before, 74% felt Vietnam had a clean and beautiful environment and 66% complimented the country’s accommodation. Surprisingly just 65% stated they had enjoyed Vietnam’s food, something was expected to be ranked even much higher.

Over 65% of Vietnam’s visitors are from Asian countries, followed by 15% from Europe and 13% from North America. Top countries by visitor numbers in Asia include China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, followed by other South East Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Cambodia.

Amongst ‘western’ countries the biggest source of visitors was the USA with 350,000 visitors, followed by Australia and France with between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors per year. The UK, Germany and Canada were trailing with between 70 and 90 thousand visitors per year.

African countries also contribute to the number of visitors who visits Vietnam though the margin for the African countries is very much lower as compared to this other continents. The main reason to why Vietnam travel has been among the best tourism attraction is due to the hospitality of the Vietnamese people who are very friendly to foreigners, with a very small margin of those who even steal from the visitors. Also the rate of security purely high and this makes anyone planning for a Vietnam travel to always have confidence and sure of his or her safety.

The Vietnam tourism departments will be happy if you call or mail them to book with them and enjoy the beauty of Vietnam, feel free to do so at any time.
