A guideline to get 6 months or 1 year visa on arrival to Vietnam

How can Romanian citizens get 6 months or 1 year visa on arrival to Vietnam?

Romanian nationals are almost impossible for the first time they apply for long term visa like 6 months or 1 year visa to stay in Vietnam years ago. They can only obtain easily a kind of visa, it is 3 months. Anyone wanting to stay longer than 3 months needs to get their visa extended and are often required with a lot of complex procedure. The documents could be investment certificate, invitation letter from sponsorship company in Vietnam to prove their appropriate reason of stay and so on.

During the last 2 years, the Immigration policy has loosened a bit for entry Vietnam visa. There were times when Romanian passport holders could submit their visa application to achieve 6 months multiple entries visa or 1 year multiple entries visa. We think we need to notice that, issuance for such long term visa must be done via Vietnam Embassy or through a commercial company; thus, the cost to get 6 months or 1 year visa approval letter were usually expensive but the continuity for having such Vietnam visas was unstable.

How is it different from applying for 6 months or 1 year visa on arrival to Vietnam?

These lately years, thanks to Vietnam visa on arrival method and tourism development of Vietnam Government, Romanian citizens can apply for Vietnam tourist visa quite easily than in the past few years without visiting Vietnam Embassy personality. However, pursuant to new law, not only tourists but business travelers can be more convenient by using Vietnam visa on arrival from 2016. Although the procedure to proceed business visa is quite the same to that of tourist visa, cost for business Vietnam visa is a bit more expensive than tourist visa but in exchange of that, it’s completely hassle-free.

The National Assembly of Vietnam approved a plan to issue 1 year visas for US passport holders with a view to generating new opportunities for trade, investment and tourism between 2 countries in April 2016. Accordingly, the chance to approach long terms visa like 6 months or 1 year visa is not only open to American citizens but also other nationals.

In general, most of the Romanian travelers can apply for 6 months or 1 year visa on arrival to Vietnam. Both of these visa types are multiple entries. What do you need to do? You do not have to do much except providing the visa agent or tourism companies in Vietnam with your scanned copy of passport, clarification of your visiting purpose, confirmation of arrival date and port of entry. This procedure is done easily online and after making payments for service fee, you only need to wait for visa approval letters processed and sent via your email within 3-5 working days under normal processing. You can also book emergency service when applying visa to visa agent, you will get faster processing, but the urgent fee will be more expensive than normal case.

Vietnam Business Visa for Romanian citizens

Vietnam Business Visa for Romanian citizens normally has validity for 6 months and 1 year, and in some cases, you can also apply for a tourist visa instead as this makes no difference if you are entering Vietnam for just a few days for business purposes.

Do you need a sponsor?

We are happy to say no. With visa on arrival, the sponsor is not required to apply for a 6 months or 1-year visa on arrival to Vietnam. However, the staff at the Vietnamese embassy will ask you for a proof of sponsoring letter from Vietnam institutions in case you apply for Vietnam visa through the embassy.
