To apply through the Embassy, you can come in person to the nearest Vietnam Embassy or Vietnam Consulate in Cambodia from Monday to Friday between 9 am and 5pm. In addition to Vietnam’s embassy in Phnom Penh, Vietnam has two other representations in Cambodia. These representations include Consulates in Battambang, and Sihanoukville.
At the Embassy or Consulate, you will be asked to fill the application form, submit it along with your original passport and other related documents and pay for mandatory fee such as service fee, stamping fee, shipping fee, etc. The different processing time will be applied depend on the requirement of each Embassy or Consulate. The benefits of applying visa at Vietnam Embassy or Consulate are that it is applied for all travelers go to Vietnam (by air, land or sea) and you will have a fully stamped Visa before entering Vietnam.
