2. Two options for Ghanaian nationals to apply for a Vietnam visa

2.1. Apply online for a Vietnam visa on arrival

Citizens of Ghana have currently not been supported with Vietnam visa on arrival. Therefore, they are advised to directly contact the Vietnamese Embassy to apply for Vietnam visa.

2.2. Apply for Vietnam visa directly at the Vietnamese Embassy or 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 present, in Ghana, there is no representative office of Vietnam's government. Therefore, Ghanaians should contact the Vietnamese Embassy in the nearest neighboring country for more information.
