How to apply Vietnam Visa - E

How to apply Vietnam Visa - E - Visa for Indians

Vietnam is a beautiful country, and my experience in Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City was wonderful. However, a lot of people intend to visit Vietnam on vacation and are concerned about how to apply Vietnam visa from India, as Vietnam, unlike Nepal, requires a visa to travel. To help in this regard, this post has listed all the options one can take before visiting Vietnam.

How to apply Vietnam E-Visa from India?

The most common choice a traveller makes before visiting Vietnam is to take an e-Visa as it is the easiest and sought out process. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Visit the Vietnam e-Visa website.

2. Select Apply Now.

3. Fill the form with details and upload a portrait photograph and passport image.

4. Review the application form.

5. Pay a fee of 25 USD for a single entry or 50 USD for multiple entries to obtain an e-Visa for Vietnam.

That's it! After 3 business days, the Vietnam e-Visa will be sent to your email address as filled in the application form.

How to apply Vietnam On Arrival Visa from India?

Vietnam also allows Indians to apply for an on-arrival visa instead of an e-Visa. However, this is not done in the same way as in Thailand. Here, the intimation of a Vietnam on-arrival Visa has to be given to the authorities before boarding the flight for Vietnam.

To apply for a Vietnam on-arrival visa, visit any agent website and obtain a pre-approved letter by following their steps. However, please note that an on-arrival visa is only applicable while visiting Vietnam through air and not by land or sea. Also, this facility is not available at all airports, so it is recommended to obtain an e-Visa instead.

How to apply for a Vietnam sticker Visa from India?

Travellers can also apply for a Vietnam sticker visa from India by visiting the Embassy of Vietnam and submitting their application. This can also be done through a third-party agent without visiting the Embassy. The following documents are required to apply for a Vietnam sticker visa from India:

Filled up the application form.
Original passport with at least 6 months' validity.
2 passport-size photographs.
Bank statements for 3 months.
Confirmed return flight ticket.
Hotel booking (Optional).

Applying for a sticker Visa for Vietnam is a hassle, but often, sticker visas are issued with a higher validity of stay than e-Visa and on-arrival visas.

When The Desert Turned White - Rann Of Kutch (Rann Utsav)

In the darkroom and past midnight, I and my two friends decided to plan a trip. But the place should be something that does not dig deep into our pockets and gives a lifetime memorable experience as well. While my friend Harish (yeah! we share the same name, unfortunately) asked me, "Is there a place where you wanted to go?". This question hit me with a place that I have been struggling to go for the past two years. A place which is as far as Indian borders could stretch, as colourful as a child's smile and as memorable as " once in a lifetime " place. I instantly said, " Let's go to Rann of Kutch to see Rann of Kutch Utsav ". Not to my surprise, my other friend, Aminul said, "Where is this place?" and Harish added, "What is there to see?". I knew that pictures will speak louder than my words. I googled quickly, " Rann of Kutch Utsav " and showed them the images. I am quite sure I showed them this image: ...

The Last Few Steps - Manikarnika Ghat

Varanasi or Kashi or Banaras, whatever one may call it, the place plays a significant role in the life of a Hindu whether he believes in god or not. It's not about the temples you visit but the air you breathe when you are walking on the congested streets of Varanasi. It's about the ghats you visit. It's about the food you eat. For long people have associated Kashi with a sense of spirituality often labeling you with tags as "devotee" or "Shiv Bhakt" but my trip to Varanasi made me realize that the magic that people talk about happens not inside the temples but in the places you would least expect. Varanasi and the vibes I was one among the millions of people who arrived in Varanasi for the annual event of Dev Deepawali celebrated fifteen days after Diwali and organized by the Uttar Pradesh Government. The highlights of the event are the firecrackers which when I witnessed, completely left me in awe of the moment. The greatest fire show I witnessed! Bu...

A Day's Tale Of My Travel In Meghalaya

It has been a long-awaited trip to Meghalaya. I always wanted to visit the states far in the east and experience their culture. In the December of 2021 by booking tickets for Meghalaya, me and three of my friends decided to explore this state navigating our ways by an i20 car that we took from Guwahati. Since our entry and exit point was Guwahati, it made sense. Meghalaya is a small hilly state with a population of around 75% Christians. This was one of the reasons that we had planned a trip during the last days of December to celebrate Christmas Day. The day around which this story pertains is the same day that we wanted to celebrate and came here for. Trekking in Mawryngkhang Trek On 25th December 2021, four of us decided to do a nature trek in Meghalaya around 50km away from Shillong where we were staying till now. Today was the day for which we didn't have any bookings done as we were not able to find any hotels online. A unanimous decision pointed towards " w...

My Trip To Vietnam - Peace in the Chaos (Ho Chi Minh City)

Vietnam has always fascinated travelers all around the world without actually pointing out any one thing specifically. You might be traveling to India to visit just the Taj Mahal but why do you want to take a trip to Vietnam? There is no such thing. You just want to visit Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. But why do you want to do that? I don't know! And perhaps I did not get this answer from all the videos describing the beauty of Vietnam. This was something that had been playing in my mind ever since I saw a guy crossing a road with a million scooters coming at him. That looks like India though! Would that be the reason? I don't know! And so I pinged my friend Sudhanshu if he'd be interested in taking a trip to Vietnam with me - a beautiful and mesmerizing country. Ah! Sure he is. I knew the answer before even asking him. He and I have made and canceled plans a lot of the time. The one thing that we decided on our trip to Ladakh was to visit Vietnam (or maybe another south-east...

Pangong Tso to Leh - Final Chapter - Ladakh Diaries Page 4

The morning in Pangong Tso was the most beautiful morning ever. My window had a perfect view of the lake and between us were green crops and vegetables grown by the locals. It is too far from the world and no vegetable vendor, fruits or anything else come here. You eat what you grow beside your home. The last village was Tangtse which was 30 km back and this was the day we were to move from Pangong Tso to Leh with our bikes. View from the window The sun was shining brightly and the cold wind filled the dry atmosphere with a view of snow that fell last night on the mountains just a few meters above us. I went outside to the door which was already open and the sunlight was coming inside forming a door shape on the floor. Outside was a small dog, white in colour, bombarded by thousands of smells he was sensing here. All these smells made him too excited on this bright day. He had a very short concentration span. He would smell something and a second later run towards another to smell s...

A DAY BEFORE LONG NIGHTS - THE LANDING || PART 10

As I mentioned earlier, I have been seeing double from the first day to now. My eyes did not improve even a little for many days. Everything I used to see was doubled. Two doors, two mobile phones, two coffee cups, everything. The doctor said my pupils are not moving synchronously as they should, and hence, you are seeing two images of everything. The images are seen separately by both eyes, but our brain combines them as one, while in your case, it is still two images. But you will be fine with time. With time. This is a very vague sentence. There is no specific maximum limit, nor is there any medicine. You will see normally with time. Hence, I waited for " the time ". Two days after I came home after being discharged, I picked up my father's phone, opened Chrome browser, and typed, GB Syndrome patients case studies . I wanted to know how much time? How everyone else has managed and how much time they took. I needed to know. I needed to be prepared at least. I read th...

Society, Class, and The People Within

The division of our society is explicitly visible in the products people living within it make. A train comes with coaches divided into upper-class air-conditioned private coaches to lower-class messy and sweaty ones where people rely on air from the door and windows. This means if the train is not moving, its "AC" is not working. Buses follow a similar pattern where there are air-conditioned, high-tech Volvo buses which are often looked upon by people sitting in a lower-grade bus with hopes and desires, and often followed by abuses such as "rich brats". These lower-class buses are termed "ordinary" in the government booking portal, glorifying the fact that you cannot expect something lavish here, or to just portray that the other bus is "extraordinary". Maybe "ordinary" is an alias used for a bus but signifying the current societal status of the people sitting in it. I become "ordinary" when I sit in an "ordinary" b...
