Under Vietnam immigration new law and regulations, parallel with Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vietnam Immigration Department is authorized to issue Vietnam visa. It is called Vietnam visa on arrival, Vietnam visa online or Vietnam evisa.
Vietnam evisas allow visa applicants applying Vietnam visas through the internet by an online application form. If their visa applications have approved then they will receive an approval letter from the Immigration officers. The approval letter permits applicants fly to Vietnam without visa in advance as usual. They will receive their visas at a Vietnam International Airport.
Vietnam evisas contain tourist evisa and business evisa.
Vietnam business evisa is the visa for people who come to work, finding job or taking business conference, finding business opportunities in Vietnam. Business evisa allows people to travel also.
Vietnam tourist evisa is designed for people who want to travel to Vietnam, or visiting friends and family in Vietnam. It’s normally valid for 1 month.
First, it is fast. Normal process only takes 48 hours. In the urgent case it can be done in 2 hours.
Second, it is convenience. People can apply from anywhere and at any time. No matter it is at home or in a café or in an office, with a computer or Smartphone and an internet connection people can apply for Vietnam evisa. No matter it is holidays or in the middle of the night, people still can submit their visa application, no need to find physical office or waiting to the next day.
Third, it is cost saving. Assuming that you are going to drive from your house to a closest embassy or consulate office, how long does it take to be there and how much people have to pay for petrol, it can be a big saving if you live far away from embassies.
Fourth, it is time saving. Supposing that you were arriving at the embassy office after a long journey, it is lunch time and you have to find place to wait till open time, then it takes you a little more for waiting in the line, and then come back to pick up your visa. It must be a lot of time and frustrated.
