The biggest channel for obtaining a visa is the embassy. Unfortunately, Chad does not have an established Vietnam embassy inland and hence the citizens need to take a different route for obtaining visas. The following is the procedure for getting an embassy visa:
1) Find out about the Vietnam embassies located in the neighboring countries. There are Vietnam embassies in Egypt, Libya, Iran, Tanzania, Angola, Nigeria etc. These embassies have different set of instructions when it comes to processing visa requests. Hence, visit their website or contact them to know about them. Choose the one that can issue you a visa in the least possible time frame.
2) Overall, most of the embassies have the same procedure. Fill up the application form that has been made available on the embassy website. You may print this form or submit it online if your embassy accepts online applications.
3) You will need to make a payment as well at the time of application hence enquire about the amount and the accepted currency before beginning the process.
4) After completing the form, attach a colored passport size photo to this form and attach the relevant documents. The embassy will also need your original passport along with the form for stamping of the visa. Since, you cannot visit the embassy personally; you will have to post all the documents to the embassy. Choose a reliable postal service that allows tracking of the deliverables.
5) Once the embassy receives the application and accepts it, the visa will be processed within 5 to 7 business days. In addition, send a pre paid envelope with your address to the embassy so that your visa can be sent to you.
6) The process will be time consuming due to involvement of international postal service so plan your trip keeping in mind the time frame involved.
7) Once the visa has been received, ensure that the details are correctly entered. Any discrepancy, get in touch with the embassy for a rectification.
8) This visa will allow you to take a trip to Vietnam through any gateway – air, water, or land.
