Up to now, our country has 8 heritages recognized by UNESCO: The Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, Hoi An Ancient Town, the scenic complex of Trang An, the ancient capital of Hue, the Ho Dynasty Citadel, My Son Sanctuary, National Park Gia Phong Nha – Ke Bang, Halong Bay.

1. Get Visa on Arrival from Kenya
Visa on arrival (VOA) is the best way for those who are living or traveling in Kenya. To get a Vietnam tourist visa upon arrival, it does not require applicants to travel to the embassy/consulate or submit any physical documents.
Either you are planning to get a multiple entry visa or a single entry visa, you have to take the same steps below:
- Fill out the secured application form with the required information and double-check it before confirming and paying the service fees.
- Receive the visa approval letter through email from 2 – 3 working days in the normal cases or 1 – 4 hours in emergency cases.
- Submit the visa letter, your passport, and completed the Vietnamese visa application form, to Vietnam Immigration Officer, and pay for stamping fee to get a visa stamp at the Vietnam border checkpoint. That’s all.
2. Apply directly at Vietnam Embassy in Kenya
Until now, there is no Vietnam Embassy in Kenya or any Vietnam representative office located in this country so you can’t apply for your Vietnam visa from this office. Also, please contact the Vietnam Embassy/Consulate, where you decide to apply for a visa, for more details about their requirements and fees.
Before applying for a Vietnam visa, make sure your passport has a minimum of 6 months validity and left pages.
