3. Apply for a visa through the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in the nearby countries of Armenia
The second option is to apply for a visa in the closest Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate in Armenia. The reason why this option might not be recommended is because itās not as convenient if you donāt live close to the embassy. It means you will have to spend time on transportation and money. You will also need to remember to bring all the necessary documents, such as passport, and if you by any chance forget anything, you need to start all over again with the process. It is time consuming and you usually need to pick up your passport in the embassy or consulate.
When you have all your documents ready, do not forget to bring it with you plus photos and cash (EUR and USD works) so you can present it to the immigration officer. If you fail to bring one or more of these, the immigration officers can deny you entrance to Vietnam so make sure that you come well prepared.
