Whether you’re visiting for business, leisure, or a special event, this guide will help you make the most informed and hassle-free decision for your trip to Vietnam!
1. E-Visa Application Procedures
E-Visa: Everything is done online! You just need to sit at home, fill in the information and submit the application online. Very convenient for those who don’t have much time or don’t want to queue at the Embassy.
Regular Visa: To apply for this visa, you must go directly to the Vietnam Embassy in your country. This can take up your time and effort.
2. Processing Time
E-Visa: Processing time is usually fast, helping you receive your visa in time for your trip. This is extremely useful if you have urgent plans or want to leave immediately!
Regular Visa: Processing times can be longer, sometimes leaving you waiting to get your visa in hand.
3. Cost
E-Visa: The cost of applying for an E Visa is usually lower than a regular visa. Plus, you save on travel costs to the Embassy!
Regular Visa: The cost may be higher, plus other fees incurred during travel and processing.
4. Validity
E-Visa: The validity period is usually shorter, making it suitable for short-term trips. If you plan to stay longer, you may want to consider applying for a regular visa.
Regular Visa: The validity period is longer, allowing you to explore Vietnam at your leisure.
5. Environmental Friendly
E-Visa is an eco-friendly option because it reduces the need for physical paperwork. Going electronic not only saves resources but also helps protect our planet.
Disadvantages:
- E-visas are vulnerable to identity theft, the government has concerns about the identity of the applicant. The visa application is submitted online and does not require the individual to come to the office.
- E-visas are vulnerable to document forgery, documents to prove financial means, health insurance and invitation letters will be submitted in digital format so they are easy to forge.
- E-visas do not collect biometric data: Electronic visas do not require the visa applicant to come to the office so biometric data such as fingerprints or digital images cannot be collected.
- E-visas only allow you to enter Vietnam from the pre-selected point of entry. Visitors can be possibly denied entry in Vietnam if their port of entry on E Visa doesn’t match with their actual port of entry. So be caeful when you are applying for E-visa and booking for flight tickets.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary risks, you should find a reputable Visa service company with a proper operating license.
