Vietnam visa for the Gambian citizens

Starting from August 15, 2023, citizens of all nationalities, including Gambian citizens, are eligible to apply for a Vietnam e-visa. However, due to geopolitical reasons, Gambian citizens are subject to special conditions when applying for a visa to Vietnam. As a result, they may encounter additional challenges or delays in processing their applications.
Gambian citizens may receive multiple requests to amend their visa applications while they are being processed. Sometimes, even after all the issues have been corrected, the visa may still not be approved.
Gambian citizens are advised to book flight tickets and accommodation only after their Vietnam visa has been officially approved.
