Ethiopia is a nation in the African continent and has a bit of struggle when it comes to getting a Vietnamese visa. Like every other nations, there are two major ways to obtain a visa from Vietnam. First, obviously the embassy and the second are several online agents who arrange for a VOA for your safe journey.
Visa via Embassy (neighboring):
To be very frank, Ethiopia, as if now, does not have any Vietnamese embassy situated hence; applying for an embassy visa requires a little extra work. In order to get an embassy visa, you will first need to find out about the neighboring countries that have Vietnamese embassies. You will have to apply at one of these embassies in personal or via mail as per your convenience. You will find Vietnamese embassies in Egypt, Libya, Iran, Angola, and Mozambique etc who might go ahead and process your visa requests.
Since, you will need to make an extra trip to one of these nations or mail your application to these embassies; you will have to plan your trip keeping in mind the time frame. It is advisable that you get in touch with the embassy before making an application so that you are sure that it accepts such postal requests.
The visa issuance needs about 5 working days once the application is accepted. This visa can help you to enter Vietnam through any preferred route.
Apply for a VOA:
A visa on arrival is of immense importance for a nation like Ethiopia that does not have the privilege of a Vietnamese embassy. A visa on arrival is a hassle free process and only agents like us can help you get one. You simply have to go online and fill up the form that will ask for your basic info. Make sure that you enter correct information that tallies with your passport. Make a payment that is required for processing your visa and you are done.
Once your application is done, we will send you a visa approval letter issued by Vietnam Immigration department. This approval letter is all that is needed for you to reach Vietnam. Make sure that your journey finalizes at Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi), Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City), or Danang Airport (Da Nang), airports in Vietnam that can issue VOA.
The officials will tally the letter with your passport and other papers and stamp your visa for a desired stay in Vietnam. Ethiopian citizens might need to pay an additional stamp duty at the airport but still it is a more convenient and quicker process than obtaining a visa from embassy.
