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

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

- 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.
However, citizens of Guinea would not be supported with Vietnam visa on arrival on some holidays and occasions. Therefore, they are advised to directly contact the Vietnam Embassy to obtain visa at those times.
