Types of Vietnam visa for Hong Kong citizens

Currently, Hong Kong citizens can choose from many different types of Vietnam visas depending on the purpose of travel, length of stay and application form. Below are the two most popular types of Vietnam Visa for Hong Kong Citizens:
1. E-Visa
This is an online visa application form, suitable for those who want to save time and limit cumbersome procedures at the airport. With a maximum stay of 90 days, E-Visa allows you to enter directly without having to wait for a stamp upon arrival in Vietnam.
However, for the application to be processed quickly, the applicant needs to ensure that the passport photo and portrait photo are clear and in accordance with regulations. The normal processing time is from 3 to 5 working days.
2. Visa On Arrival
This is a flexible option for Hong Kong citizens who need to enter the country urgently or have not completed the online procedures. This type of visa allows a maximum stay of 30 days, and you do not need to submit a photo when applying, reducing the risk of delays.
When you arrive at the airport in Vietnam, you only need to wait about 30 minutes for the visa to be stamped in your passport. Applications are usually processed within 2 – 4 working days.
