Below you will find all you need to know about the Kazakhstan Vietnam visa requirements.

Vietnam Visa Options for Kazakhstan

There are two visa application options available for Kazakhstan passport holders planning to travel to Vietnam as tourists:

• 1. Vietnam e-visa.
• 2. Stamped tourist visa from a Vietnamese embassy or consulate.

What is a Vietnam eVisa?

Before we get into how to apply, let’s clarify what the Vietnam e-visa is. The Vietnam e-visa system is an electronic visa system created by the Vietnam immigration department to enable travelers to apply for their Vietnamese visas online.

The Vietnam e-visa validates you to enter any Vietnam airport. Thus, the e-visa may NOT be used when entering Vietnam through sea or land borders.

Benefits of the Vietnam Visa for Kazakhstan nationals

We recommend people to opt for this Vietnam visa to avoid the tedious queuing process at embassies. Other benefits of the e-visa include:

• A quicker and easier application process.
• It’s safer, as you do not need to send your passport to the embassy before you travel.
• It’s more efficient and less likely to encounter delays.
• It costs less than applying in person at the embassy.

COVID-19 Regulations for Tourists to Vietnam

However, we advise keeping an eye on the government and airline websites as this could change on short notice.

Screening centers and health hotlines

If you start showing COVID-19 symptoms or suspect you may have been exposed, local authorities recommend calling Vietnam’s health hotline on 1900 3228 immediately.

Health requirements

Health authorities also advise all incoming travelers to self-monitor for ten days after arriving in Vietnam and to seek medical attention immediately if they feel ill.
