Vietnam visa requirement for Tokelauans
As a Tokelauan citizen, you are required to have a Vietnam visa if you plan to visit Vietnam.
Here are two ways to get Vietnam visa in Tokelau.
If you need to acquire a Vietnam visa, here are two ways to get it.
1. Get your Vietnam visa at a Vietnam Embassy or Vietnam Consulate:
Firstly, there is no Vietnam embassy or consulate in Tokelauan and as such, Tokelauans who intend to apply for their Vietnam visas will have to contact the nearest embassies from surrounding nations.
For your convenience as an applicant to the Vietnam visa, you don’t necessarily have to present yourself in person at the Vietnam embassies to get the visa. You may as well choose visa by post, which is also a recommended option and only requires you to consult the respective embassy in advance to find out if they offer Vietnam visa by post service.
The direct Visa application procedure takes five days, which is arguably longer considering that visa on arrival service takes three days less which is exactly 2 working days to have the applicant travel to Vietnam. You definitely find it slow when both systems are compared. You might have to put up with long queues of your fellow visa applicants at the Vietnam embassy. Worse still is that you may even spend your entire day waiting to be served and sometimes the procedure spills over to the next day. Well, you simply would not wish for such a demanding and strenuous experience which is why you are highly advised to go with the visa on arrival option as it saves both your time and money for the small service fees you will be charged compared to that of direct applicants at the Vietnam embassy
