- If you are required to have a visa to Vietnam, make sure that your passport has at least 2 months validity with left space for visa stamping
- Book a flight before making the Vietnam visa application if you apply for E-Visa to Vietnam, and would like to select extra services like airport speedup service or car pick-up when making Vietnam visa online application

- In case you would like to directly visit the Embassy to get your Vietnam visa done, don’t be hasty since it often takes more time than Vietnam visa online application.
