How to get a Vietnam visa on Tet holiday 2024
Tet holiday, also known as Lunar New Year, is a traditional holiday of the Vietnamese people. Tet holiday usually starts from December 29 to January 3 of the lunar year. During this time, the Vietnamese people will take a rest after a busy year. The people living far from home will travel long distances to return their home to visit grandparents, parents, and relatives. This can be considered the most important and longest holiday in Vietnam, a time for everyone to reunite with their families.
What to do with Vietnam visa applications before Tet holiday?
In 2024, the Tet holiday will start from February 8 to February 14, 2024. During this time, the government organizations including the Vietnam Immigration Department, the only agency that issues the visa to foreigners, will stop working. The Vietnam Immigration Department’s website still accepts Vietnam visa applications, but these applications will be processed after February 14, 2024.
Customers who travel Vietnam during this holiday time should note:
1) Apply for a Vietnam visa early (5-7 working days before the holiday) to ensure you will receive the visa before the Vietnam Immigration Department is closed for the holiday;
2) Check the issued visas to make sure there are no errors or mistakes such as wrong date of entry or date of birth; incorrect full name, passport number or passport validity;
3) Visa applications need to be updated the information such as full name, temporary residence address in Vietnam or photos should be completed 5-7 working days before the holiday time;
4) Visas that have been submitted but still show “in processing” status need to be approved urgently before the holiday time;
5) Visa processing time will take from 5 to 7 working days, so foreigners who plan to enter Vietnam right after the holidays should also apply for a visa as soon as possible.
