Vietnam, with its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and vibrant cities, has always been a popular destination for tourists from around the world. And now, there is even better news for the citizens of New Zealand. Starting from August 15, 2023, the Vietnamese government has officially granted a 90-day e-visa to citizens of New Zealand, making it easier than ever to explore this beautiful country.
Gone are the days when you had to visit the Vietnamese embassy or consulate to apply for a visa. With the new e-visa system in place, the process has become much more convenient. Now, all you need to do is visit the official website and fill out the simple application form. The e-visa processing time is just 3 working days in normal circumstances, although it may take longer during peak seasons or after holidays.
One of the most valuable aspects of the new e-visa policy is that it allows visitors to make multiple entries into Vietnam. This means that you can travel to other nations and return to Vietnam without having to apply for a new visa each time. This is especially beneficial for travelers who like to explore neighboring countries during their trip.
“It’s really good news. We’ve waited very long for Vietnam’s three-month visa policy,” said a tourist. Allowing visitors to make multiple entries was “the most valuable” as he could travel to other nations without having to apply for a new visa each time he returns to Vietnam.
The cost of the e-visa is US$25 for single-entry and US$50 for multiple entry. It is important to note that the e-visa fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether the visa application is approved or denied. However, considering the convenience and flexibility it offers, the e-visa is still a great option for travelers.
For visitors in a rush who want to avoid potential frustration during the visa application process, there are commercial websites available that provide a user-friendly interface and a simple application form. These websites guarantee to deliver the e-visa on time, ensuring a hassle-free experience. However, it is important to keep in mind that these services may come with higher costs.
With the introduction of the 90-day e-visa for citizens of New Zealand, Vietnam is opening its doors wider to tourists from around the world. The new e-visa system simplifies the visa application process, saving time and effort for travelers. Whether you are looking to explore the bustling streets of Hanoi, cruise through the breathtaking Halong Bay, or immerse yourself in the rich history of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam has something for everyone. So, mark your calendars for August 15, 2023, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure in Vietnam!
