Visas for Sri Lankans Visiting Vietnam

Information with regard to obtaining Entry Visas for Sri Lankan Nationals to Travel to Vietnam

Sri Lankan Diplomatic and Official passport holders are not required prior visas to enter Vietnam and are permitted to enter and stay in Vietnam for 90 days under a reciprocal visa exemption agreement signed between the two countries. They should submit 02 (two) passport size colour photographs to the Immigration Authorities at the point of entry.

Sri Lankan nationals holding ordinary passports who wish to enter Vietnam are required to obtain prior visas through a Vietnamese Embassy or consulate (in Bangkok or New Delhi or other countries).

Alternatively, ordinary passport holders could obtain visa on arrival in Vietnam provided their sponsors, travel agents, business partner or the conference organizers (depending on the purpose of the visit) in Vietnam make prior arrangements with Vietnam Immigration Department to issue the visa at the point of entry. Tourists from Sri Lanka should arrange their visas through a travel agent who is approved by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism Authority.

The above information has been prepared as a guidance for prospective visitors to Vietnam from Sri Lanka and the issuance of visas is entirely at the discretion of the Vietnamese authorities.
