Vietnam visa requirements for citizens of Cape Verde

1. Do Cape Verde nationals need a visa to Vietnam?
Cape Verde nationality is not included in the visa exemption list, but in the special nation list of Vietnam Immigration Department. Therefore, all Cape Verdean are required to submit documents before applying, and the process also takes much time than usual with a higher service fee. Cape Verdean can apply visa for tourism purpose only.
2. Two options for Cape Verde nationals to apply for Vietnam visa
2.1. Apply online for a Vietnam visa on arrival

Cape Verdean passport holders can apply Vietnam Visa on Arrival online from anywhere outside of Vietnam. The Vietnam visa will be picked up upon arrival at the Vietnam airports by showing up the printed out of the approval letter.

By using our service, the approval letter will be sent via email within 01 or 02  working days (normal case), 4 working hours (urgent case) or even 30 minutes (emergency case) depending on which option the applicant chooses when submitting online application form.

The aim of Visa on Arrival is to make the trip to Vietnam simpler and more economical. It is applicable only to those traveling by air to Vietnam. Vietnam Visa on Arrival is especially an advantage to those living far from the Vietnam Embassy/Consulate.

By using this mode of getting Vietnam Visa on Arrival, the Cape Verde citizens do not need to wait too long for processing to get a pre-approval letter approved by Vietnam Immigration Department, which acts as an official permission of getting the visa upon arrival.

In order to get a Vietnam visa, Cape Verdean should pay two types of fee: the service fee and the stamping fee.


Service fee: The service fee is for visa approval letter processing.
Stamping fee: The stamping fee is paid in cash to the Vietnam Immigration Officer at the arrival airport to get the visa stamp. Credit cards are not accepted. If applicants have booked full package, this fee would not need paying anymore.

2.2. Apply for Vietnam visa directly at the Vietnamese Embassy/Consulate
For those who want to get a Vietnam visa beforehand or want to travel to Vietnam by land or sea, they can go to the nearest Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate.
At the moment, in Cape Verde, there is no representative office of Vietnam's government. Therefore, Cape Verdean should contact the Embassy of Vietnam in the nearest neighboring country to make visa code or get visa stamped.

Embassy of Vietnam in nearby country: Morocco & Algeria

Useful notes:
- Before applying for a Vietnam visa, Cape Verdean  should make sure that their passport has at least 6-month validity and left pages from travel date.
