How to get a Vietnam visa?
The first is applying at the Vietnam Embassy and the second is applying a visa on arrival airport (VOA).
However, there is NO Vietnam embassy in Latvia so applicants from this country will have to find Vietnam embassies from surrounding countries to apply from. They can access the Vietnam embassy in person or contact the embassy by telephone or by email to inquire more information about the visa application procedures as well as the associated fees. Vietnam visa applicants can still acquire their Vietnam visas without presenting themselves at the Vietnam embassies in person. This is possible with the visa by post service which only requires your confirmation from the embassy at hand to find out if the service is supported there.
