Vietnam refers to the exotic and still not sufficiently untwisted tourist destination. Rest here prefer to go to those who have already enjoyed the hotels and beaches of Egypt, Turkey and Bulgaria. Here you can perfectly meet the New Year and bring a lot of pleasant memories and souvenirs .
Planning a trip to Vietnam, you need to take care of the visa. How to start, and do you need a visa when traveling to Vietnam, and how to arrange it, where to get it? Let's understand!
Visa for Russians
If you have Russian citizenship, while in Vietnam you plan to stay no more than fifteen days, you do not need a visa. It will be enough just to show your passport and tickets in the opposite direction right on the border. But what if there are not these tickets yet? Do not worry, there are agencies selling any tickets directly on the border at almost any border crossing point.
Is there a trip that exceeds the above-mentioned fifteen days in time? Then it is necessary to start visa processing in Vietnam in advance. This can be done both in embassies in Russia, in consulates, and even in one of the three international airports (in Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh). Registration of a visa upon arrival in Vietnam is possible, however, only if the tourist has an invitation from the inviting party.
In the Moscow Embassy of Vietnam for the execution of this document with you will require the following documents:
- a passport (its validity period should not be less than six months from the date of its arrival in Vietnam);
- Two questionnaires signed by the applicant (in English, French or Russian (name, surname - Latin!);
- two color photos in the size 4х6 centimeters;
- invitation from the host (if any).
Visa for Ukrainians
But for citizens of Ukraine, planning to visit this exotic country, a visa is needed in any case, and it does not depend on the term of stay there. You can decorate it in the Kiev embassy of Vietnam and on the border, if there is an invitation from the Vietnamese side. Documents with this you will require the following:
- Passport with copies of previous visas;
- copy of the passport of a citizen of Ukraine (all pages);
- copy of identification code;
- two color photos in the size 3,5х4,5 centimeters (a light background is a prerequisite!);
- two questionnaires completed by the applicant (in English or French;
- a certificate from your place of work.
Alternative option
Both Russians and Ukrainians who are not residents of capital cities can not always go to Moscow or Kiev. In addition, such a trip can cost a tidy sum, and if you also take into account the "whims" of embassy and consulate employees who simply might not be in place at the time of your arrival, the situation turns out to be a dead end. How to proceed? There is a way out - the so-called visa support. You need to apply to a specialized agency (tour operators can advise reliable and proven), book an invitation and return tickets,
When crossing the Vietnamese border, you will be required to pay the cost of a visa to Vietnam: for a single visa (one to three months) - $ 45 for multiple (from one month) - from $ 65 to $ 135.
