3) In addition, if you are a Belgium based Vietnamese citizen then also you are entitled to apply for a visa exemption. You will need to submit all the relevant documents showing your Vietnamese status and you can get an exemption of up to 5 years.
4) The children under 14 years of age, who are sharing their passports with their parents, are entitled for an exemption. The child does not need a separate visa in this scenario. If the child has a separate passport, then a separate visa will be required.
5) To promote tourism, Vietnam has also given an exemption to all the Belgium citizens who are planning to make a trip to the famous Phu Quoc islands. Such travelers are allowed to enjoy a visa free stay of up to 30 days. However, if the traveler wishes to go beyond the island or stay on the island for more than 30 days then a valid visa will be required.
These are some of the exemption criteria laid down by the Vietnamese Visa Policy. It is advisable to thorough yourself with all the exemptions available before going ahead with the visa application. The citizens of Belgium can obtain visas through two means. First is to approach the Vietnam embassy and the second is to approach online agents like us for a visa on arrival (VOA).

You need to fill up the form and submit it to the embassy along with your passport and the processing fee. The form can be collected from the embassy or from the embassy website. The visa is processed by the embassy within 5 to 7 working days.
