In an effort to fight the spread of the Covid 19 virus, several countries around the world have closed their borders to foreign visitors. These include Vietnam. In fact, Vietnam has temporarily stopped issuing visas to foreign visitors including French nationals. France is one of those countries that have been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic.
But the good news is that the temporary suspension was only for a month. Vietnam is once again issuing visas to foreign visitors including the French citizens. The country is hoping to invite visitors to the country once again and boost its tourism industry, which has been badly affected by the pandemic.
French is among those nationalities that qualify for the visa waiver program of Vietnam. This means that they are able to enter the country visa-free. However, their stay must be only 15 days or less, which is why it is best to just apply for a visa for your trip to Vietnam. With a visa, you’d be able to stay in the country for up to 30 days or even more!
French citizens can choose from two different options for their visa. One is the e-visa or electronic visa. Another is the visa on arrival. If you believe that a 30-day vacation to Vietnam is enough for you, then go for the e-visa. This visa can be easily applied online and you’ll get it only a few days. Plus, you can use this visa in entering Vietnam through various points of entries. So if you are going on a cruise and you’re entering through a seaport, then this visa will be useful for you.
On the other hand, the visa on arrival is a sticker visa that you can get when you arrive at the airport. With this visa, you get to choose from a single entry or multiple-entry and with a stay of up to 90 days. And although you’ll only get the visa on arrival at the airport, you are required to pre-register online.
When you register online, you will then be sent the pre-approval letter. You need to print the letter because this is what you will use to claim your visa at the airport. Also, the visa counters where you can claim this visa can only be found at the airports. Therefore, this visa will only work if you’re flying to Vietnam.
French citizens who need an e-visa to Vietnam can simply go online. The process of applying this type of visa can be entirely done online, which is why it is called an electronic visa. Once the visa is approved, it will be sent to your email in a PDF format so you can just print it out. Here’s how you do it.
As mentioned, the visa on arrival would require you to pre-register in advance. You are required to present the pre-approval letter at the airport’s visa counter before you will be given this visa. This is how to apply for the visa on arrival
