As there is no Vietnam embassy or consulate in Bahrain, the direct Vietnam visa application procedure remains inaccessible to the citizens of this country. Although one can still apply directly through a Vietnam embassy at the nearest neighboring country, but considering the time that it will take and needless to mention the cost of extra traveling this procedure is also rendered inconvenient. 

One will need to take a leave from their work and travel to these foreign Vietnam embassies to inquire and apply for a visa. Also there is the extra cost of staying at that foreign nation while the visa application procedure is completed. Another noteworthy point is the time consumed while waiting in long queues during the visa application procedure at the embassies in any country. Our suggestion to you is that you can avoid all these unnecessary hassles by simply opting for a ‘visa on arrival’ for visiting Vietnam. These VOAs take only a few hours to be prepared and one can easily apply for them online.
