Vietnam visa for Western Sahara citizens

Starting from August 15, 2023, citizens of all nationalities, including Western Sahara citizens, are eligible to apply for a Vietnam e-visa. However, due to geopolitical reasons, Western Sahara 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.
Western Sahara 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.
Western Sahara citizens are advised to book flight tickets and accommodation only after their Vietnam visa has been officially approved.
