Tips for Saint Kitts and Nevis travelers
Two points help travelers from Saint Kitts and Nevis: ordering at the right hour, and ignoring old advice.
Order in the evening, not the morning
Ordered at 9:00 in the morning in Basseterre, your file reaches Vietnam after every urgent cut-off and starts at 8:00 the next Vietnamese morning, which is 21:00 that evening in Basseterre. Ordered at 21:00 instead, every speed is still open.
Old advice to use visa on arrival
Older guides tell Saint Kitts and Nevis travelers to use visa on arrival because there is no Vietnamese embassy to visit. The e-visa needs no embassy, is issued online for up to 90 days and works at 79 border gates.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
