Visa Codes

Jlgarbutt

I'm confused by the Visa codes.
My newly issued VEC has a "BA" code... But cannot find anywhere what this means

Mine has "BA" as part of the serial number.  Is that where you see it?

Jlgarbutt

Yes that's the same for me..
Cannot see this code listed anywhere..

Guest2023

The serial number and code will be different.

What does it say in category,top right hand corner?

Jlgarbutt

Nothing at all.
Thats the thing every other visa show a two letter code, but the VEC doesnt

Did you get it through an agent or did you do the process yourself.

Jlgarbutt

Did it myself...  went to the offices in 333-335 Nguyen Trai Street, paic the fee and left passport and supporting documents there and have to go back the folllwing week to collect.

That's because VEC is not a visa so there is no visa code.  VEC stands for Visa Exemption Certificate. You are exempt from needing to get a visa.

Correct.
Just thought the OP may have been confused between a VEC and a long term type of visa.

Yeah sometimes its best to do a search online for images so you can compare yours to the one on the internet.
