How to get Vietnam visa in Mali
There are 2 approved and recommended ways to get your visa to Vietnam as a Malian citizen.
1. Get your Vietnam visa at a Vietnam Embassy or Vietnam Consulate:
Currently, there is no Vietnam embassy or consulate in Mali. The only way Malian citizens can apply for their Vietnam visas is through Vietnam embassies or consulates in the nearest countries around Malian borders.
For those applicants who feel inconvenient by having to present themselves in person to any of the Vietnam embassies in order to apply for a visa, they can opt for their other recommended option. This is the visa by post way. However, they will first have to consult the Vietnam embassy they intend to apply from in advance since application procedures vary across all embassies. While consulting the embassy, they will have to confirm if the visa by post is allowed there.
