Visa to Vietnam

Visa to Vietnam:Vietnam Visa

With no Vietnam embassy in a country such as Iraq it is very difficult to get in formation pertaining how to acquire a Vietnam visa. I appreciate this information on this blog. The only way to get such information is by visiting related websites online on Vietnam visa application procedure.
You have shared quite a lot of information on many countries which will help many find what they need on this topic.
Thanks
