What do you need to go to Vietnam? What should I pay attention to?

Theoretically, there are no conditions for going to Vietnam. Everyone can travel, but whether you can enter the country smoothly and end the trip happily depends on conditions. What should I pay attention to? Let me talk to you.

01

You need a tourist visa to Vietnam.

There is no threshold for Vietnam tourist visa. Most people are able to get visas, but there are also surprises through past cases.

For example, some friends have been to Vietnam before and have bad records, so it is difficult to get a tourist visa; there are also a very small number of friends who have been refused visas because they have the same name as someone with bad records in Vietnam, resulting in being misjudged as a foreigner. People with bad records. Although this situation is extremely rare, it does happen to some people.

It is necessary to prepare sufficient entry materials and provide complete travel information.

Getting a tourist visa does not mean that you can enter the country smoothly, not only in Vietnam, but also in other countries. When entering the country, you can provide some necessary travel information, such as hotel information, departure air tickets, travel itinerary, etc., which can not only prove the authenticity of your travel purpose, but also show that you can leave the country on schedule without staying, so as to enter the country smoothly.

03

Ignore travel guides for reasons beyond my personal understanding.

When sharing experiences in Vietnam, many friends think that Vietnam’s visa is simple, convenient for travel, and adds some randomness. For example, return air tickets and hotels are not booked in advance, and travel routes and attractions are not even planned in advance. When clearing customs, it is easy to be suspected that it is not tourism, which will increase the twists and turns of entry.

A friend heard that it is possible to apply for a visa on arrival, but when he arrived at the destination, he rushed to prepare the visa on arrival and got into trouble.

Choose your own way to travel.

It is recommended to choose the mode of travel according to your own situation, whether to travel independently or in a group. Everyone's situation is different, and the difficulty is also different. For example, some friends have rich experience in overseas travel, some have white passports, and some have weak language skills. You should consider your own situation. Others have many entry and exit records and many visas. When passing through customs, they passed without asking for any information. If you have a white passport, you will inevitably be deceived and asked many questions.

If you don’t have enough experience, it is recommended to join a group. First, temper yourself. Don't just walk around as soon as you go out. You must choose according to your own situation.

Okay, then this is my suggestion, please refer to it and welcome friends to add!
