How to Apply for Vietnam Visa for American Samoa Citizens?
American Samoa citizens and passport holders can choose one of the following two methods to apply for a Vietnam visa:
1. Apply at Local Vietnam Embassy
In this way of visa application, the American Samoa passport holders will get the visa stamped on passports before departure for Vietnam. The visa issuing authority is the Vietnam Embassy/Consulate.
The issue for Albanians to get visa this way is that there is currently no embassy/consulate of Vietnam established in American Samoa. As such, if they are in Albania, it is quite difficult for them to get a Vietnamese visa this way, and therefore they need to visit the embassy in nearby countries for visa application. See their list here.
If they are in a country with one of such offices, they can completely contact them for visa application.
The requirements, processing time and fees to get a embassy visa to Vietnam may vary by the embassy.
2. Apply Vietnam Visa Online (Visa on arrival)
This way of visa application is ABSOLUTELY convenient for American Samoa citizens traveling to Vietnam by air, as it requires no travel to the embassy/consulate of Vietnam abroad. The issuing authority in this case is the Vietnam Immigration Department.
With visa on arrival, their paperwork will be removed. They only need to have a mobile/laptop/desktop, etc. to complete the whole process of visa application.
