How to get Vietnam Visa from Norway

Visitors from Norway who plan to spend no more than 15 days in Vietnam are exempt from the visa requirement. Vietnam visas are required for stays exceeding 15 days. For Norwegian citizens, there are three options for obtaining a Vietnam visa: visiting the Vietnamese embassy in Oslo, applying for an on-site visa, or using an electronic visa.

One option is to go to the Vietnamese embassy in Norway, which is close by, to obtain a Vietnamese visa.


The Vietnamese government has not yet decided where in Norway to establish an embassy. To finish the Vietnam visa process, you can visit any of the other Vietnamese embassies in the surrounding countries.

Second Choice: Get Your Vietnam Visa When You Arrive

Applying for a Vietnam visa upon arrival through a travel agency or tourism organization is the easiest and most convenient option for Norwegian passport holders traveling by air. By using this procedure, applicants can avoid the hassle of physically visiting the Vietnam Embassy or mailing away their original passports.

How can I obtain a Vietnam visa upon arrival in Norway?

To apply for a Vietnam visa online, visit http://govietnamvisa.org/apply-vietnam-visa. After you've entered your full name and passport number in the appropriate fields and paid the application fee, you'll only need to wait two business days (for normal processing) or less (for urgent processing) for an email confirming your visa. The next step is to visit one of Vietnam's international airports to have your Vietnam visa stamped. You'll need your passport, which must be valid for at least six months, two passport-sized pictures, and the stamping cost, which must be paid in cash.

Step 3: Use the Vietnam e-visa Website

From Norway, how can one apply for a Vietnam e-visa?

Following the same steps as for obtaining a Vietnam visa upon arrival, all you have to do is visit http://evietnamvisa.org/vietnam-visa/step-1, fill out the form with your details exactly as they appear on your passport, choose your entry gate, pay the service fee, and you will receive your evisa letter in two business days (normal processing) or less (urgent processing). Your typical several visits to the Vietnam Embassy in Norway will no longer be necessary with this letter. Simply print out the visa acceptance code letter, deliver it with your original passport, two passport-sized pictures, and the stamping fee to the designated Vietnam Embassy. Remember that stamping fees can vary depending on the Vietnamese Embassy you visit.
