It was around the middle of March 2020 when Vietnam has decided to stop accepting visa applications from foreign visitors, including South Koreans. This was one of the country’s efforts to fight the spread of the deadly coronavirus or the Covid 19. South Korea is among those Asian countries that were badly hit by this pandemic.
Thankfully, the visa suspension is only temporary. Things are slowly going back to normal and Vietnam is once again accepting visa applications. In fact, South Koreans can enter Vietnam visa-free since they are among those nationalities that are eligible for the visa waiver program. Under this program, South Korean visitors don’t need a visa to enter the country for as long as their stay is only 15 days or less. But if you are planning to stay in Vietnam for more than 15 days, then you should apply for a visa.
It should be easy for South Korean visitors to get a visa to Vietnam. There are two options available for them – e-visa and visa on arrival. The e-visa is the electronic version of the standard Vietnam visa, which you can apply online. Once approved, this visa will be sent to your email in a PDF format and you can just print it. This is a single-entry visa with 30-day validity.
As for the Visa on Arrival, you’ll get this visa once you arrive at the airport of Vietnam. You are required to register online before your trip. When you register online, you’ll be asked to fill out an application form. Then they will send you a pre-approval letter through email. You’ll have to give this letter at the visa counter at the airport in order to be given a visa on arrival.
It’s easy to apply for an e-visa since the entire process is done online. Therefore, you can do it right at the comfort of your home. So how do you go about it? Check this out.
Although you’ll only get the visa on arrival at the airport, you are required to register in advance. You will then be given a pre-approval letter, which you will use to claim your visa.
As you see, both the e-visa and visa on arrival are easy to apply. But which visa is right for you? This will actually depend on how many days you will holiday in Vietnam and in what method you will enter. If you’re going to stay for 30 days only and you’re entering through the airport, seaport, or land entry points, the e-visa is a good option. However, if you need a multiple-entry visa and you are entering the airport, then the visa on arrival is the right choice.
