Are you planning a trip to Vietnam? Well, we have some exciting news for citizens of the Marshall Islands! Starting from August 15, 2023, Vietnam will officially grant a 90-day e-visa to citizens of all countries, including the Marshall Islands. This new visa policy is a game-changer, making it easier than ever for Marshallese travelers to explore the stunning beauty and rich culture of Vietnam.
Gone are the days of visiting the Vietnamese embassy or consulate to apply for a visa. With the new e-visa system, visa applicants can conveniently apply for their visas online. All you need to do is visit the official website and follow the simple application process. The process is user-friendly, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for all travelers.
Vietnam has 13 airports, 16 land border gates, and 13 sea border gates where e-visa holders can enter and exit the country. This extensive network of entry points provides flexibility and convenience for travelers, allowing them to choose the most suitable route for their journey. Whether you’re arriving by air, land, or sea, you can now easily explore the wonders of Vietnam.
One of the most significant advantages of the new e-visa policy is the provision for multiple entries. This means that travelers can enter and exit Vietnam multiple times within the 90-day validity period without having to apply for a new visa each time. This update has been hailed as “the most valuable” by many tourists, as it allows them to explore neighboring countries and return to Vietnam effortlessly.
Obtaining an e-visa comes with a minimal fee. For single-entry, the fee is US$25, while for multiple entries, it is US$50. It’s important to note that the e-visa fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether the visa application is approved or denied. In terms of processing time, under normal circumstances, it takes only 3 working days to process an e-visa. However, during peak seasons or after holidays, it may take a bit longer. So, it’s advisable to apply well in advance to avoid any last-minute delays.
For travelers in a rush or those who want to avoid potential frustration, there is an alternative option. Commercial websites provide a user-friendly interface and a simple application form, guaranteeing to deliver the e-visa on time. Although these services come at a higher cost, they ensure a hassle-free experience for those who value convenience and time.
With the introduction of the 90-day e-visa for citizens of the Marshall Islands, Vietnam has made significant strides in simplifying the visa application process. This update opens up a world of possibilities for Marshallese travelers, allowing them to explore Vietnam’s breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage. So, why wait?
