• Online visa:
Recently, the Embassy of Viet Nam has
received a lot of questions regarding online visa problems encountered by applicants.
Embassy cannot verify or confirm the reliability of other types of visa not
provided by the Embassy and recommends travelers to obtain correct types of visa
before entering Vietnam. The Embassy of Viet Nam in the Hague is the sole
competent authority in the Netherlands to issue visa to Viet Nam. Fraudulently
issued visa will be refused entry and fee is not refundable.
There have also been reported cases of
fraudulence and personal data theft when applying for online visa and cases of
entry refusal on arrival when these types of online visa are applied through un-trusted
websites. The Embassy cannot verify the validity of such visa and cannot
provide assistance to travelers in case their visas are refused.
In order to avoid any risk of personal
data theft or losses through fraudulent use of credit/debit cards, travelers
are strongly recommended not to provide personal information on un-trusted
websites.
