Vietnam has expanded its e-visa system and opened it to citizens of all countries, Azerbaijan included. That makes it possible to obtain a visa online without applying to an embassy.
The e-visa is valid for up to 90 days and comes in two versions: single entry and multiple entry. The multiple-entry version lets you enter the country repeatedly during its validity, which is convenient for travellers visiting more than one country in the region.
The application is made through the official government portal. Third-party sites quote the fee at many times its real level. The form, a passport scan and a digital photo are uploaded, and a reply usually comes within three to five working days. The fee is not refunded regardless of the outcome, so filling in the form correctly is critical. Viza.az takes this stage over entirely.
