Application procedure through Vietnam Embassy –
The primary measure of requesting for Vietnam visa which has been authenticated by Vietnamese Immigration Bureau is through Vietnam Embassy. In this method of application, the citizens are required to physically visit the Vietnam Embassy available in their country or some nearby country along with all the prerequisites of visa application. In the situation of Barbadian citizens, there is no Vietnam Embassy or its consulate available in Barbados. Thus for physical application they have to pay their significant visit at the Vietnam Embassy of Venezuela which is the most nearest nation to Barbados possessing a Vietnamese Embassy. The essential requirements which have to be carried by the applicants include a lawful passport, 2 visible photographs preferably of passport size and service as well as stamping charges. After fulfilling the entire procedure of application, it takes minimum 7 days processing time to acquire the visa in hand.
