Each type of visa application is offering some advantages and disadvantages. Visa on arrival and e-visa are especially beneficial for those who are living far away from the Vietnamese Embassy; or those who do not want to send off their passport by post; or somebody who are tired of traveling a long distance from time to time and then wait for hours to submit a pile of documents.
