1. Get embassy visa
This way of visa application for Vietnam requires the Central African citizens to directly contact the Vietnam embassy/consulate. However, there is no embassy/consulate of Vietnam in Central Africa up to now, as such, Central African citizens can contact
- the local Vietnam embassy/consulate in nearby countries (if they are not residing in Central Africa currently) ( those embassies/consulates are listed here), or
- an embassy/consulate of Vietnam in the country they are residing in (outside Central Africa).
In this way, they will get visa stamp on passport before departure for Vietnam.
2. Get visa on arrival
This option to get a Vietnamese visa is highly recommended for citizens of Central Africa as it requires:
- NO travel or contact with the embassy;
- NO documents for application;
- ONLY a device connected with internet.
