Visa on arrival for Vincentian citizens

Tips for Vincentian travelers
Two points help Vincentian travelers: ordering at the right hour, and treating the e-visa as a visa.
Order in the evening, not the morning
Ordered at 9:00 in the morning in Kingstown, 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 Kingstown. Ordered at 21:00 instead, every speed is still open.
The e-visa is a visa, not a waiver
Pages that talk about an electronic travel authorization for Vincentians mean the e-visa. It is a full visa issued for your passport, valid for up to 90 days, and you carry the approved PDF with your passport at the border.
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.
