Citizens of Somalia are required visa for entering Vietnam.

How to get a visa for visiting Vietnam in Somalia?

At present, there are 3 options to obtain a visa for visiting Vietnam from Somalia. Citizens of Somalia or citizens of other countries who are in Somalia can follow below instructions to get a visa for visiting Vietnam.

Option 1: Apply for e-visa of Vietnam

We checked & found that citizens of Somalia are NOT eligible for e-visa of Vietnam, therefore, you can choose option 2 or 3 to get a visa for visiting Vietnam.

Citizens of other countries who are in Somalia, please check “Who is eligible for e-visa of Vietnam?” to see if you are eligible to apply for e-visa of Vietnam or not.

Option 2. Apply for a visa at the embassy or consulate of Vietnam in Somalia

We are regret to inform that there is no embassy of Vietnam in Somalia, therefore, Somali passport holders may choose option 3 for getting visa on arrival.

In case you want to apply for a visa at the embassy, please visit the embassy of Vietnam in countries close to Somalia.

Option 3: Request for visa on arrival through an online visa website.

Unlike visa on arrival of some countries in the world, in order to get visa on arrival of Vietnam, Somali passport holders must have a visa approval letter from the Immigration Department of Vietnam which allows to pick up your visa on arrival at the international airport of Vietnam. There are lots of travel companies and online visa websites can arrange that kind of visa approval letter, you can request through them or request online through us.

Please note that visa on arrival is applicable for visitors who enter Vietnam via international airport. The process of applying online at a travel agency is very fast and you do not have to travel to the address of the embassy to submit the application.
