When the number of coronavirus cases increased abruptly, the government of Vietnam has to take drastic measures to contain it. One of these is by canceling all visa applications. This is to prevent the entry of foreign visitors especially those who came from countries that were badly hit by the Covid 19 pandemic. But this move was only temporary until such time that the deadly virus will be contained.
Thankfully, the situation is getting better now. Vietnam is once again issuing tourist visas to all foreign visitors, including citizens of Switzerland. The Vietnam government is hoping to lure foreign tourists back into the country and boost its tourism industry.
As a citizen of Switzerland, you are required to apply for a Vietnam visa before you can enter the country. There are two ways in which you can apply for a visa to Vietnam. One is to send in your application online and get an e-visa. Another is to register online and claim a visa on arrival at the airport. Either way, both visas are easy to get.
The e-visa is an online version of the standard tourist visas that the Vietnam Immigration would issue to foreign visitors. This visa can be easily acquired online. You just need to fill out the online application form and provide the requirements. Once approved, you’ll get the visa online. Just print this and bring it on your trip. The e-visa is good for single entry and the maximum length of stay is only 30 days.
If you’re thinking of staying in Vietnam for longer than 30 days, you should consider getting the visa on arrival. Yes, this is a visa that you can get when you arrive in Vietnam. However, it will require you to register ahead online. When you register, you’ll be given a pre-approval letter. You are required to show this letter at the airport before your visa will be issued. What’s great about this visa is that you can apply for multiple entries. Not only that, but it will also let you stay in Vietnam for up to 60 days, which is great for long-term stays.
Since the Vietnam e-visa is an electronic visa, you can only get this visa online. You can use your phone or laptop to apply. Here’s how Swiss citizens can apply for the Vietnam e-visa.
If you need a Vietnam visa that will let you enter multiple times with a validity of 90 days, then get the visa on arrival. Here’s how Swiss citizens can apply for a Vietnam visa on arrival.
It’s important to note that visas on arrival are only available at the airports. So this won’t be an option if you are entering through Vietnam’s land border checkpoints or seaports.
