You should and have to apply for TRAVELLING VISA. If you apply for such
visas as business or education, the process would be much more
complicated as many other documents apart from passport and application
form are required from both you and our LC.
You can take visa-on-arrival, which takes less time and doesn’t require
further document. Visit www.myvietnamvisa.com or
www.vietnamvisaonline.net for more information about this kind of visa.
AIESEC in Vietnam is currently not yet recognized as an official NGO, so
invitation letter from us won’t be accepted at Embassy or Consulate. In
order to avoid this case, you should state your purpose to visit to be merely
“travelling”. Do not mention anything about AIESEC or internship. If you are
still unable to apply then, try visa online.
For countries in SEA region and some other certain countries, there are
rules for visa exemption to Vietnam for a period of day. Please carefully
check the requirement for your nationality before apply for visa to Vietnam
as the exemption period is no less than 30 days.
