How to get a Vietnam visa from Mauritania?
From Mauritania, 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 Nouakchott, Mauritania in 3 - 5 working days. From August 15, 2023 e-visa is another effective way for the Mauritania 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 Mauritanian 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:

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 Mauritanian 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 Mauritanian 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 Mauritanian 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.
