As a US citizen you can now apply for and get your Vietnam visa in a matter of hours. The immigration department of Vietnam has made it possible for you to apply for your Vietnam visa online via agents. This procedure speeds up the visa application and processing steps and makes it much easy for anyone to enjoy the visa services. Firstly, you can travel to Vietnam 48 hours after you forward your visa application form to the visa agents online – that is if you apply for the Vietnam visa on arrival which is considerably slower than rush visa, but still fast enough compared to conventional visa application procedures at the embassy/consulate. Secondly, you only need connection to the internet in order to start your visa application via the agents’ websites.
For one to complete their visa application online via agents’ websites they will have to download the visa application form that is available across all these websites. They will then be needed to fill up the visa application form with the required details of them and email it back to the respective visa application agent online. The visa application agent will then forward the visa application form of the applicant to the immigration department of Vietnam for further processing.
Processing of the visa application entails validating the applicants’ data as submitted on the visa application form against their records with their local immigration department as well as checking particular details specific to the current visit as explained by the visa applicant on the form. These details could be any detail from their purpose of visit to their intended duration of stay.
Commuting all the way to Washington Vietnam embassy can be cumbersome to many people especially to those located in those states that are far away from Washington. Not only will the long queues discourage you from the visa application procedure while there, but you will also have to line up a couple of times to get done with the visa application procedure. With the introduction of the Vietnam visa on arrival service you will not have to line up at the Vietnam embassy or wait for several working days before your visa application goes through. This service is quite easy as all you need is access to the internet to start your application procedure. On average the visa on arrival service takes only 48 hours to be allowed to tour Vietnam
The prerequisites of the visa on arrival service are as follows:
- A valid passport that was acquired not any less than six months ago
- Two passport photos that you took within the last six months
Give this new service a trial and you will not regret for using it but for the time you spent on the conventional visa application procedure. Save your time and energy and spare yourself from lining up at the Vietnam embassy for the same document you can get to apply online at the comfort of your home.
