Hi Vietnam visa team,

I and some friends are South African citizens going to Vietnam soon. We acknowledge that Vietnam visa is required for South African. We are applying for Vietnam visa online however they said they need our passport copies to process our Vietnam visas.

Why do they need our passport copies? Is this required documents to process Vietnam visa for South Africa passport holders

Answer

Hi,

For some reasons, the Vietnam visa agency might need your passport copies to make sure there was no problem with your entry in the past. That's the way to check the immigration record of individual easily. Furthermore, especially for South African citizens, they want to know if the applicants are black or white since the black might be charged higher.

However, there are some Vietnam visa agencies like www.vietnamvisabooking.com who can arrange your Vietnam visa without passport copies required and you will get a private approval letter within 2 working days without paying extra fees.
