Trả lờiXóaNot all countries are needed to have a Vietnam visa. Some countries have a special arrangement with the immigration department of Vietnam which allows their citizens to enter Vietnam for a number of days without this document. In such cases you only need to apply for a visa if your stay will be prolonged beyond the allowed days. However, such countries already have a Vietnam embassy within their boarders which is why such arrangements exists as a sign of great relationship. Countries like Swaziland do not have a Vietnam visa, and have no special arrangements with the Immigration department of Vietnam. Because of this state of affairs Swaziland citizens will only be able to acquire the Vietnam visa by online application. The same case applies for countries in similar situation.
