Travel Essentials for Visitors from Burkina Faso
Visa Requirements: How to Obtain a Visa for Vietnam
Besides, tourists from Burkina Faso need a Vietnam tourist visa to get a visa on arrival. The procedure is very simple, and two methods are available for it:
- E-Visa: This can be applied for online on the official Vietnamese immigration website. This gives visitors a 30-day single-entry stay. It usually takes 3-5 business days to process.
- Embassy Visa: Should you want a stamp beforehand, you may also apply for an embassy visa at your nearest Vietnamese embassy or consulate. This option is best suited to those requiring multiple-entry visas or longer-term stays.
Pro Tip: Make sure that your passport is good for six months beyond your stay and that you have two blank pages for visa stamps.
Best Time to Visit Vietnam
Vietnam’s climate is different from north to south, with unique seasons. If you understand when would be the best time to travel, your Burkina Faso to Vietnam Package Tour will be a handy extra.
- Spring (March-May): Perfect for Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa and Hue. The climate is pleasant for hiking and exploring.

Exchange Rate: 1 USD ≈ 24,000 VND (rates may vary).
Where to Exchange Money:
