How to get Vietnam visa from Turkey?

A valid visa is required for almost foreigners visiting Vietnam for business purposes, visiting friends and families or leisure vacation. Fortunately, it is much easier these days for foreign passport holders to apply for visa to Vietnam as there are two available ways to go about this matter.

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. The other advantages of visa on arrival include faster processing, cost-saving and more efficient payment methods. However, Vietnam visa on arrival is available for air entry only.
