From Dec 2019, several countries around the world have implemented restrictions on visa issuance in an effort to combat the spread of the deadly virus, known as Covid 19. Vietnam is one of those countries that have temporarily suspended the visa issuance. The temporary suspension of Vietnam’s visa issuance applies to all nationalities, including citizens of Belgium. Last month, Belgium has reported having nearly million confirmed cases of coronavirus. By suspending the visa issuance, Vietnam is hoping to prevent the virus from getting spread further into the country.
But the good news is that the suspension of the visa issuance has finally been lifted. This means that Belgian nationals who are planning to go to Vietnam for a holiday will now be issued a visa. As a citizen of Belgium, you are required to have a valid visa to enter Vietnam both for tourism or business purposes.
Belgian citizens have two options for their visa application to Vietnam. They can choose the e-visa, also known as the electronic visa or they can go for the visa on arrival. Regardless of the type of visa that you will choose, you can be sure that getting a visa to Vietnam is now so easy.
If you are only staying in Vietnam for less than 30 days, your best bet is to apply for the e-visa. This visa is good for single entry and will let you stay in the country for a maximum of 30 days. With this visa, you can enter through the various border points of the country. Aside from the airports, you can use it in entering through the seaport and land borders. The best thing about this visa is that the entire process of application is done online. Thus, you’d be able to apply for this visa without having to leave your home!
But for Belgian visitors who need to stay in Vietnam for more than 30 days, the Visa on Arrival is highly recommended. This visa lets you choose between single entry and multiple-entry. You also get to choose between 30 days and 90 days. However, this visa would require you to queue at the visa counter to claim your visa upon arrival. Also, you can only use this visa if you are flying to Vietnam since the visa counters are only located at the airports.
The Vietnam e-visa, also known as electronic visa, can be easily applied online using your mobile phone or computer. Just connect to the Internet and go to the official website of the Vietnam Immigration. Click on the option to apply for the e-visa and follow these steps:
Take note that even though the visa on arrival is a type of visa that you can only claim upon arrival to Vietnam, you are required to register for this visa in advance. Here’s how Belgian citizens can apply for the visa on arrival.
