Because of the Covid 19 outbreak, the number of foreign arrivals in Vietnam has dropped rapidly from last March 2020. This was also because the country has decided to temporarily stop issuing visas. The decision was made in order to prevent the virus from further spreading into the country.
Thankfully, things are now trying to go back to a normal situation. Because of this, the Vietnam government has decided to accept the visa application once again. So all foreign visitors, including Swedish nationals, can now apply for their visa to Vietnam. But which visa should you apply? How do you apply for a Vietnam visa? Read on to find out.
The Swedish nationals are among those foreigners who are exempted from the visa. They are allowed to enter Vietnam visa-free, but they can only stay up to 15 days. If you want a month-long vacation in Vietnam, then you need to apply for a visa. With a visa, you can stay in the country for more than 15 days. You also have the option to apply for a multiple-entry visa with a maximum stay of 90 days.
There are two types of Vietnam visas that the citizens of Sweden can apply – e-visa and visa on arrival. With the e-visa, you can stay in the country for a maximum of 30 days or one month. But this is only good for a single entry. As for the visa on arrival, you can choose between single entry and multiple entry visas. You can also choose whether you want a 30-day or 90-day visa.
Both the e-visa and visa on arrival should be easy to apply. As a matter of fact, both visas can be applied online. But the only difference is that the e-visa will be issued immediately while the visa on arrival needs to be claimed at the airport when you arrive.
The e-visa is the easiest type of Vietnam visa that Swedish citizens can apply. All you need to do is fill out the form online. In less than 10 minutes, you’ll be done with your application. Here’s how.
For Swedish nationals who wanted to stay in Vietnam for more than a month and would prefer a visa that will grant them multiple entries, the visa on arrival is your best bet. Take note that before you can claim this visa from the airport, you are required to register ahead. Here’s how.
Take note that you can only use the visa on arrival if you’re entering Vietnam through its airports. That’s because the visa landing counters are only stationed at the airports. So if you’re entering through the seaport or land border checkpoints, then the e-visa is what you should get.
