The Covid 19 pandemic has caused massive disruption, especially in the travel and tourism industry. Last March 2020, during the height of the pandemic, several countries around the world have made the unfortunate decision to close their borders. Thus, all flights were cancelled and visa issuance has been cancelled. In Vietnam, the Immigration Department has to temporarily stop issuing visas. This is especially applicable to citizens who came from badly hit countries, such as Hong Kong, which also have to deal with the rapid surge of coronavirus cases.
Thankfully, these things were only temporary. Now that the world is trying to go back to normal, Vietnam has once again opened its visa issuance. Hopefully, more visitors will be enticed to visit the country to help the tourism industry bounce back from the loss brought about by the deadly virus. For citizens of Hong Kong, a visa is required to enter Vietnam. You are qualified to avail of two types of Vietnam visas, the e-visa and the visa on arrival.
For Hong Kong citizens who are planning to visit Vietnam soon, you can apply for the e-visa for your trip. This is the easiest and most convenient option. It’s the kind of visa that you can apply online and you don’t need to visit the Vietnam embassy or queue at the airport to get it. This is a single entry visa and will let you stay in Vietnam for a maximum of 30 days.
The other visa is called the Visa on Arrival. Even though you can only get this visa on your arrival in Vietnam, you’re required to register to get a pre-approval letter. Without the letter, you won’t be given this visa. The best part about the visa on arrival is that it will let you apply for multiple visas and with a maximum stay of 90 days.
Since the e-visa is an electronic visa, the only way to get it is to apply online. This is truly an advantage to those who don’t want to waste time at the embassy just to get their visa. With the e-visa, you’ll only spend a few minutes of your time online. This is how to apply for the e-visa.
If you’re staying in Vietnam for more than 30 days, the visa on arrival is ideal for you. This is also a great visa to apply if you need a multiple-entry visa. Here’s how you go about it.
