Dual national means that a person who is a citizen of two countries, having legal rights and obligations in connection with both countries. While there may be advantages associated with holding dual national, such as when applying for the Vietnam Visa On Arrival. These are the notes that you have to take if planning to apply for the Vietnam Visa while holding dual nationals.

First of all, please check both nationalities whether one or both of them need a visa to arrive in Vietnam. Some nationalities have visa exemption. You can check the list of visa exempted countries here. If one (or both) of your nationality is exempted from Vietnam Visa, then you do not have to apply for it for staying on a specific duration. This is the first advantage of having dual nationals.

Secondly, if one of your nationality is Vietnam, it means you still own the Vietnam passport. Then you do not need the Vietnam Visa Approval Letter too.

However, the last but not least, you have to check the validity of the passport you going to use for entering Vietnam. The most common mistake that people usually make is using an invalid passport, then it may cause a serious problem that leads them to miss their flights, miss their trips. Please note your passport must be valid at least 6 months since the date you suppose to get to Vietnam.

If you are a dual citizen, you can choose to travel on which passport you want. However please take note you have to exit with the passport you use to enter.

Finally, please note dual national means that you hold two passports from two different countries. The Vietnam Visa On Arrival will be issued a base on the passports, not the green cards, resident cards, or travel documents.

Above are the notes you have to take if planning to apply for the Vietnam Visa On Arrival while holding dual nationals. We hope it useful for your trip and if you need a Vietnam Visa On Arrival, please apply here.
