Vietnam visa for Malian citizens

Country name: Republic of Mali
Country code: MLI
Starting from August 15, 2023, citizens of all nationalities, including Malian citizens, are eligible to apply for a Vietnam e-visa. However, due to geopolitical reasons, Malian 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.
Malian 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.
Malian citizens are advised to book flight tickets and accommodation only after their Vietnam visa has been officially approved.
