Vietnam visa requirement for Irish citizens
As an Irish citizen, you require a Vietnam visa in order to enter Vietnam. You can apply for the Vietnam visa in two ways:
- From a Vietnam embassy/consulate
- Online to get the letter of approval
1. How to get your Vietnam visa from a Vietnam embassy/consulate as Irish citizens.
At the moment, there is no Vietnam embassy in Ireland hence Irish applicants to the Vietnam visa in have to locate the nearest Vietnam embassy form neighboring countries. Ireland applicants can also get their visas to Vietnam by the post option. Visa by post is more convenient since applicants do not have to present themselves in person at the Vietnam embassy. They however have to contact the Vietnam embassy in advance to find out if the visa by post service is available there. Secondly, visa application procedures vary across embassies and that necessitates the reason why applicants should make prior confirmation to the embassies.
Visa applicants by the direct visa application procedure have to start their visa applications at least five days in advance so they acquire their Vietnam visas on time, assuming the visa processing step procedure does not exceed five days of waiting. In preparation for the visa application procedure, you are required to present your visa application documents at the Vietnam embassy early before the due time. In other words, you have to revise your schedule should you choose to visit the Vietnam embassy in order to make your visa application, as per the direct application procedure requirements
