Our lives are bound by routines – stringent, absolute and monotonous routine. We toil away our day at office or school, come back, eat our dinner and sleep and at the break of a new day we start following the same routine.
In 2019, more than 900,000 Japanese tourists came to Vietnam for a holiday, making them one of the top visitors of Vietnam. This is mainly because the government of Vietnam has made it easier for Japanese tourists to come to the country. Aside from the increasing number of direct flights from Japan to Vietnam, the Japanese citizens are among those citizens who are eligible to avail of the Vietnam e-visa.
With the Vietnam e-visa, Japanese citizens no longer need to go to a Vietnam embassy to apply for a visa in person. They simply have to go online and do their visa application from a website. Indeed, it’s a very convenient, seamless, fast, and efficient way of acquiring a visa to Vietnam.
Japanese travelers to Vietnam have various ways to apply for a visa. Aside from applying for a visa from an embassy, they can also opt for the Visa on Arrival. But these two visa options can be a hassle to avail. You cannot just go to a Vietnam embassy without scheduling an appointment. And if you’re going to apply for your visa on arrival to Vietnam, you will have to deal with the long queue at the counter.
Thus, of all the types of Vietnam visas that the Japanese citizens can avail, it is the e-visa that’s the easiest and quickest to get. With the e-visa, you don’t have to visit an embassy in Japan. In fact, you can apply for this visa right at the comfort of your home, for as long as you have a reliable Internet connection.
The e-visa will also not require you to wait at the visa on arrival counter when you arrive in Vietnam. Once you have the e-visa copy in your hand, just proceed directly to the passport control and present the visa along with your passport. The immigration officer will then stamp your passport so you can enter the country and enjoy your holiday.
If you’re not yet convinced why you should choose the Vietnam e-visa, refer below for the advantages of getting this type of visa for your trip to Vietnam:
The Vietnam e-visa for Japanese citizens is a type of visa that will allow you to enter Vietnam in a single entry for a maximum stay of 30 days or one month. You can use the visa for tourism, business, or transit purposes.
If you intend to stay in Vietnam for more than 30 days, then the e-visa will not work for you. In this case, you should choose the Visa on Arrival option. With this visa, you can apply for multiple entries and stay in the country for up to 90 days. The embassy of Vietnam can also issue long-term visas, depending on your purpose.
For Japanese travelers who are already in Vietnam and are planning to extend their holiday beyond the visa’s validity, you can request for a visa extension. But for this to be possible, you will have to pay for an organization or agency that can apply for a new visa on your behalf.
So what are the requirements that you need to comply in order to be granted with the Vietnam e-visa? The requirements are similar to the standard requirements of visa application to some other countries.
