Another way of obtaining Visa is by applying for the Visa on Arrival facility. Visa on Arrival is particularly helpful for those who reside in far flung areas from the embassy location or are too hard pressed for time to travel to the location or make multiple visits. The Visa on Arrival process is quick and easy and hence is used by several people today. In order to apply for Visa on Arrival, an individual will have to get in touch with a travel agent in Vietnam who will assist them in filling up the form online. During an online application, the applicant will have to furnish details regarding his identity, occupation, purpose of visit, duration of stay etc.
Once this information is processes an approval letter is issued by the Vietnamese authorities, which the travel agent will collect and share with you. This is one of the biggest advantages that you can avail of in case of Visa on Approval. All you need to do is fill in the application and the travel agent will take care of the rest for you. The approval letter should be attached to your passport along with the Visa stamping fees and submitted at the Visa on Arrival counter at any Vietnamese airport you land in for the Visa on Arrival document.
The Visa on Arrival document is as good as the Visa issued by the embassy officials. It will entitle you to all facilities and place you under all restrictions that a Visa obtained through an embassy would. However, it is important to note that the Visa on Arrival is valid only for travellers arriving in Vietnam by air. Those taking the land route , must carry the Visa with them in order to enter Vietnam. Those taking a cruise ship can get in touch with the cruise ship authorities for information on Visa on Arrival.
It is important for a Brazilian citizen to state his purpose of visit and duration of stay while applying for Visa on Arrival. There are three options that a person can choose from – business purposes, tourist purposes and transit purposes. Visa for business purposes is available with validity of one month, three months and six months. Tourist Visa is valid only for one month and transit Visa comes with validity of less than five days.
Besides furnishing all documents, it is important that Brazilian citizens make the payment for Visa fees and Visa processing fees. The Visa fees can be submitted to the Embassy of Vietnam by way of money order or cashier’s cheque. If you are applying for Visa on Arrival, you can deposit it online to the travel agent’s account.
