Ways to get visa Vietnam for Gambian citizen

Vietnam has been developing diplomatic and economic relations with other countries. This along with the rich culture attracts a large number of the people to Vietnam. To make the influx of the people smoother the Vietnam government provides strict guidelines which are elaborated in the Vietnam Visa Policy.
