How to get a Vietnam visa from Thailand?
From Thailand, visitors may apply for Vietnam visa on arrival in just a few hours by submitting visa application online via www.e-vietnamvisa.com or get a visa at the Vietnam Embassy in Bangkok, Khonkaen, Thailand in 3 - 5 working days.
Each type of visa application is offering some advantages and
disadvantages. Visa on arrival is especially beneficial for those
who are living far away from the Vietnamese Embassy; or those who do
not want to send off their passport by post; or somebody who are tired of traveling a
long distance from time to time and then wait for hours to submit a
pile of documents. The other advantages of
visa on arrival include faster processing, cost-saving and more efficient payment methods. However, Vietnam visa on arrival is available for air entry only.
