How to get a Vietnam visa from Djibouti?

From Djibouti, visitors may apply for a Vietnam e-visa or visa on arrival and get the results in just a few hours by submitting visa application online via www.e-vietnamvisa.com or get a visa at the Vietnam Embassy in Djibouti, Djibouti in 3 - 5 working days. From August 15, 2023 e-visa is another effective way for the Djibouti tourists who desire to travel Vietnam less than 90 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.
Vietnam e-visa has been introduced by the Vietnam Immigration Department in February 2017. Until now, all the nationalities are eligible for Vietnam e-visa. Like a visa on arrival, Vietnam e-visa will be performed online totally via the Vietnam Immigration Department's website.

Apply for a Vietnam e-visa

Vietnam e-visa is an useful option for the Djibouti tourists who will travel Vietnam for less than 90 days with single or multiple entry. In order to apply for Vietnam e-visa, the applicants need to prepare:

  • A passport data page photo and recent taken portrait: The photos are stored in JPG or PNG format with a size of 2MB each file maximum;
  • A credit card that is enabled to make online payment;
  • All the personal information including full name, date of birth, nationality, passport number and the date of arrival, entry and exit ports as well as the temporary residence information in Vietnam.
  • Vietnam immigration history (if any)

How to clear the "in processing" status and fix the e-visa errors?

Normally it takes 3 - 5 working days to complete an e-visa however, at a peak time it may take up 7 - 10 days to get a result or even 15 working days if your visa application need to be further verified by the Vietnam Immigration Department. Some our Djibouti customers are sharing with us that after 7 - 10 days, they access in the link given by the Vietnam Immigration Department to check the visa process and it still returns "in processing" status.

Some other Djibouti make mistakes when they input the data or upload the photos incorrectly; or their granted visa contains spelling mistakes or wrong details that they can not board the plane.

Those above mentioned mistakes can sometimes happen and the travellers don't know how to solve it properly. If your visa application is pending for long time, you should immediately contact the Vietnam Immigration Department for the help. However, you should not expect much support from the immigration officers as it is rather limited due to the large requests arriving at the same time. We can help Djibouti travellers who have a problem with e-visa and shortage of time to speed up existing visa application or start a new urgent e-visa application process and we promise to clear the pending status and correct the mistakes within 2 working hours to 1 working day only.

Apply for Vietnam visa on arrival via www.e-vietnamvisa.com

In order to apply for a visa on arrival, you are requested to complete 3 simple steps as follow:

  • Firstly, fill in an online application form and make a payment for processing service fee
  • Secondly, get a visa approval letter delivered via email within 2 hours (emergency service), 1 working day (rush service) or 3 - 5 working days (normal service)
  • Thirdly, present the original passport, copy of approval letter (in hard copy), 2 photos (at passport sized) and pay the stamping fee to get visa stamped on the passport at arrival airport

NOTICE
Djibouti is considered as "sensitive nation" due to some reasons. Thus, the citizens of Djibouti are subject to higher processing fee (from US$125 - US$225 per visa, exclude the stamping fee). If you take too much effort in applying for Vietnam visa at the Vietnam Embassy in Djibouti or in neighboring countries but it is unsuccessful finally then we are pleased to help!
It should be noticed that, below document and information are required to process Vietnam visa on arrival for Djibouti:
- Your passport copy;
- Your round trip air ticket (or arrival airport information).

Apply for a Vietnam Embassy visa in Djibouti

At present, there is no Vietnam Embassy in Djibouti to issue a visa directly. You will need to apply for a visa on arrival instead or visit the nearest Embassy of Vietnam in neighbouring countries for the help.
