Two ways to apply for your Vietnam visa as an Austrian citizen
As an Austrian citizen wishing to visit Vietnam in the coming days, you can apply for your Vietnam visas in the following two ways as it is needed for your entry to Vietnam:
• By direct application to the Vietnam embassy
• By applying online for the visa on arrival through an agency
Direct application procedure from the Vietnam embassy/consulate
You can visit the Vietnam embassy in Austria anytime during business hours to check the visa application procedure while learning what is needed from you as an applicant to the Vietnam visa. Firstly, you will need to contact the Vietnam embassy in Austria by the following contacts:
Vietnam Embassy in Vienna, Austria
Address : Felix Mottl – Strabe A-1190 Vienna, Austria
Tel : 3680755
Fax : 3680754
Code : 00-43-1
Consular section : 3680755/10
Reception : 3680755/11
Email :embassy.vietnam@aon.at
Website: www.vietnamembassy-austria.org
However, the direct visa application procedure can sometimes be an inconvenience in that you will:
• Spend much time in the long queues
• Spend money in traveling to the embassy to fill in forms and later on travelling to collect your visa
• Stop your current duties in pursuit of your visa,
• Not apply during holidays and weekends.
All these shortcomings can be avoided by opting for visa on arrival.

Always ensure you provide valid information on your visa application form as it will determine contents in your letter of approval, which should tally with information on your passport for a successful visa application process.
