In an exciting development, the government of Vietnam has announced a significant update to its visa policy. Starting from August 15, 2023, citizens of the Republic of Korea can apply for a 90-day e-visa. This new policy aims to streamline the visa application process, making it more convenient and hassle-free for Korean travelers to explore the beauty of Vietnam.
Gone are the days when applicants had to visit the Vietnamese embassy or consulate to apply for a visa. With the new e-visa system, applicants can now apply online through the official website. This remarkable change in the application process eliminates the need for time-consuming visits, saving applicants valuable time and effort.
For visitors who are in a rush or simply want to avoid potential frustration, commercial websites have emerged as a reliable alternative. These websites offer a user-friendly interface and a simple application form, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience. Although these platforms may come with a slightly higher cost, they guarantee the delivery of the e-visa on time, providing peace of mind for travelers who prioritize convenience.
The introduction of the 90-day e-visa is a game-changer for frequent travelers to Vietnam. With this new policy, citizens of the Republic of Korea can make multiple entries into the country within the 90-day validity period. This means that visitors can explore neighboring nations and return to Vietnam without the hassle of applying for a new visa each time. This flexibility allows Korean travelers to embark on exciting journeys across Southeast Asia with ease.
Vietnam has taken significant steps to ensure smooth entry and exit for e-visa holders. The country has designated 13 airports, 16 land border gates, and 13 sea border gates as entry and exit points for e-visa holders. This extensive network ensures that visitors can choose the most convenient route for their travel plans, providing flexibility and ease of access.
To obtain a 90-day e-visa, citizens of the Republic of Korea will be required to pay a fee of US$25 for single entry and US$50 for multiple entries. It is important to note that the e-visa fee is non-refundable, irrespective of the visa application’s approval or denial.
Under normal circumstances, the e-visa processing time is three working days. However, during peak seasons or after holidays, the processing time may be slightly longer. It is advisable for travelers to plan their visa application well in advance to avoid any last-minute complications.
The introduction of the 90-day e-visa for citizens of the Republic of Korea marks a significant milestone in Vietnam’s visa policy. This update aims to facilitate easier access and promote tourism between Vietnam and Korea. With the convenience of online application and the flexibility of multiple entries, Korean travelers can now embark on memorable journeys throughout Vietnam and beyond. So, if you’re a citizen of the Republic of Korea planning to explore the captivating beauty of Vietnam, take advantage of this new e-visa policy and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
Remember to apply online through the official website or use trusted commercial websites for a hassle-free experience. Start planning your trip to Vietnam today and immerse yourself in the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and warm hospitality that Vietnam has to offer.
