How to apply Vietnam visa for Omani citizens?
There are 2 ways for the Omani citizens applying for Vietnam visa before departure. Normally, it takes 3 – 5 working days to complete a visa on arrival and it’s even longer if you apply for visa at the Vietnam Embassy in Oman.
1. Apply for Vietnam visa on arrival
The Oman passport holders can apply Vietnam visa on arrival from anywhere outside of Vietnam. The Vietnam visa will be picked up at the Vietnamese airports after showing the printed visa approval letter and paying the stamping fee.
The approval letter will be sent to your email within 3 – 5 working days (normal service) and no rush visa service available for Oman passport holders.
At present, visa on arrival is the best way to get a Vietnam visa, however it is available for those traveling Vietnam by air only. Applying visa on arrival is much faster and cheaper than applying visa at the Vietnam Embassy or Consulate in Oman and more flexible than e-visa (the Omani citizens are not eligible for e-visa for Vietnam at present).
| UPDATE The Vietnam visa on arrival has been restored after the Vietnamese government re-opened the borders for the tourists on March 15, 2022 after a two-year border closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Now the foreigners can get a Vietnam visa on arrival if they satisfy the following requirements: - The foreigners must have a visa approval letter arranged by a legitimate Vietnamese visa agency who is working with the Vietnam Immigration Department on behalf of the customers before their departure; - The foreigners must have a passport with at least 6 months validity from the date of arrival and blank pages for visa stamp; - The foreigners will travel Vietnam by airplane via the international airports. If you travel Vietnam via land border gates or sea port you should apply for a Vietnam e-visa instead; - The visa on arrival is an altenative to the e-visa in case you need to enter Vietnam urgently but your e-visa application is pending or needs to amend at the last minutes, when you are about to board the plane to Vietnam. |
By using the Vietnam visa on arrival service, the Omani citizens don’t have to wait too long to get a visa approval letter from the Vietnam Immigration Department which gives them permission to pickup visa at arrival airports and enter Vietnam legally.

2. Apply visa at the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulates
Those who want to get a Vietnam visa beforehand or who travel Vietnam by land or sea, can go to the Vietnamese Embassy to apply for visa directly. However, there is no Vietnam Embassy in Oman established therefore the citizens of Oman are suggested to apply for Vietnam visa in neighboring countries or apply for visa on arrival to simplify the process.
