The first method of approaching the embassy is quite easy. Any Russian individual who wishes to travel to Vietnam and stay for a period of more than 15 days can approach the Embassy of Vietnam in Russia. He will be asked to fill up a form in English, enter all personal details, nature and purpose of visit etc. The place of submission and collection of the Visa needs to be entered as Vietnam. Once the form is completely filled, it needs to be submitted along with the original, valid Russian passport, recent passport sized photograph and a self-addressed envelope. The passport that needs to be submit should have six months validity at least and a few spare pages for stamping purposes.
Besides the forms and documents, an applicant will also have to pay the mandatory Visa fees. These fees can be paid by way of money order or cashier’s cheque in favour of the Embassy of Vietnam. More information about additional fees can be gathered from the embassy officials. The embassy will take at least five working days to process all documents. Once the documents are processed, you will receive the Visa. The advantage of applying for the Visa through the embassy is that you will receive the Visa before you leave for Vietnam.
However, there are certain drawbacks too. If you are not residing in an area near the embassy, you will have to travel back and forth. This is why more and more people prefer the Visa on Arrival facility. To apply for Visa on Arrival, you will have to get in touch with a travel agent in Vietnam. You will have to fill up an online form with all your details. This form will be then processed and then a letter of approval will be issued. This letter of approval is to be submitted at the Vietnamese airport you arrive in to collect your Visa.
Along with the letter of approval, you will be asked to pay the Visa stamping fees. While filling up the online form, you will be asked the purpose of your visit. There are three options to choose from – business, tourist and travel. Business visas come with a validity of one month, three months and six months. Tourist visas come with a validity of one month and transit visas come with a validity of less than five days.
The Visa on Arrival facility is granted only to those travellers who arrive in Vietnam by air. Those who travel by land routes are required to carry their Visa along with their passport.
