Any Ecuadorian citizen who wishes to travel to Vietnam can either contact an Embassy of Vietnam for the Visa application process or get in touch with a travel agent in Vietnam for Visa on Arrival. 

Since, Vietnam does not have an embassy in Ecuador; Ecuadorian citizens will have to contact the Embassy of Vietnam in the nearest neigh boring country. Ideally, citizens interested in applying for Visa to Vietnam are required to personally visit the Embassy several times for the application process and the developments following in the process. At the embassy, you will be asked to fill the Visa application form in English and submit documents such as your original passport, a recent passport sized photograph and a self-addressed envelope along with the form. You will also be required to pay the Visa fees which can be paid in favor of the Embassy of Vietnam by way of money order or cashier’s cheque. 

Once you have submitted all documents and paid the mandatory fees, your documents will be submitted for further processing. The embassy will take at least five working days to process your documents, after which you will be issued a fully stamped Visa.

You will have to incur major travelling costs.

An easier alternative to this procedure is the Visa on Arrival process.

Business Visa comes with a validity of one month, three months and six months. A tourist visa comes with a validity of one month and a transit visa comes with a validity of less than five days. 

The online application form is processed in about two to three days and you will be issued a letter of approval. Your travel agent can collect this letter of approval on your behalf and have it sent to you. You can travel with this document. On reaching Vietnam, you will have to submit this letter of approval along with the Visa stamping fees at the Visa on Arrival counter in the airport. 

It is to be noted that the Visa on Arrival facility is available only to those travelers who travel to Vietnam via air. For those taking land routes, it is mandatory that they travel with all their documents on them.
