The Vietnamese government recently authorized a new program for electronic visas for Swedish citizens. As a result, Swedish citizens will be able to apply for a three-month multiple-entry visa to Vietnam through the e-visa system beginning in August 2023.
1/ New Vietnam visa strategy: Swedish nationals will be granted a three-month multiple-entry E-visa beginning in August 2023
In 2017, the Vietnam e-visa was tested for the first time. Swedish nationals could only apply for one sort of e-visa at the time, which was a single entry with a maximum validity of 30 days. After Covid-19 badly impacted the tourism industry, the Vietnamese government reopened it and attracted international visitors. However, visas remain a hurdle for both Swedish tourists and international tourists in general.
The Vietnamese government established a new visa policy for Swedish citizens following the National Assembly meeting in August 2023. Vietnam’s e-visa has been extended from 30 days to 90 days, and it is valid for multiple entries. This is a new move in the quest to entice Swedish visitors to return to Vietnam.
2/ Procedures for applying for a three-month multiple-entry visa E-visa to Vietnam for Swedish nationals in 2023
Once opened, the 3-month multiple-entry E-visa for Vietnam can be readily applied for online. To apply for an online visa, Swedish travellers must prepare the following two soft files:
After completing the necessary paperwork, Swedish travelers can begin applying for a 3-month multiple entry visa to Vietnam online:
To begin, Swedish citizens should go to https://www.vietnamimmigration.com/apply-vietnam-visa/ which is the URL to apply for a Vietnam visa.
Following that, Swedish citizens must follow the website’s instructions and complete the online form. The information asked comprises basic personal information, visa type, date of entry, date of exit, site of entry, and place of exit. It is important to note that the correct sort of visa is an electronic visa that is good for three months and allows repeated entries.
Then, follow the instructions to upload your photo and passport, and enter an email address to get the visa outcome.
After Swedish tourists finish the online payment step, the online visa application process will be completed.
3/ How long does it take for Swedish people to apply for a 3-month e-visa to enter Vietnam several times?
Each 3-month multiple entry visa application to Vietnam typically takes 3 to 5 business days to process. Saturdays, Sundays, and Vietnamese public holidays are not included in the number of working days. Swedish people can then calculate the expected date of visa results.
To minimize issues during their journey to Vietnam, Swedish travelers should apply for a visa online at least two weeks in advance. Swedish people who require a 3-month multiple visa to enter Vietnam urgently might pay an additional urgent charge to receive the visa outcome sooner.
When the E-visa is accepted, it will be emailed to the email address that Swedish tourists provided on the online form. Swedish travelers should carefully read the visa instructions, make a paper copy, and keep a soft copy on their phone. Before permitting Swedish citizens to enter Vietnam, the immigration officer will examine their electronic visa and passport.
Finally, Swedish tourists now benefit greatly from the Vietnamese government’s revised visa policy. The 3-month multi-entry E-visa is now available to Swedish people, easing the entry procedure and assisting Swedish tourists in obtaining visas for long-term travel in Vietnam.
