Vietnam eVisa Requirements

Visa information                  06/10/2023

As of my last knowledge update in September 2023, Vietnam had an e-visa program in place for travelers from certain countries. However, please note that immigration and visa policies can change frequently, so it’s important to check the most up-to-date information from official sources before planning your trip to Vietnam.

Here are some general points about Vietnam’s e-visa program:

  1. Eligibility: E-visas were available for citizens of a limited number of countries. Eligible countries were listed on the official website of the Vietnam Immigration Department.
  2. Application Process: To apply for an e-visa, travelers typically needed to visit the official website of the Vietnam Immigration Department and follow the online application process. This usually involved providing personal information, passport details, travel plans, and a digital passport photo. You would also need to pay a processing fee online.
  3. Processing Time: E-visas were usually processed within a few working days. You would receive an approval letter via email, which you needed to print and present to the immigration authorities upon arrival in Vietnam.
  4. Validity and Stay Duration: E-visas were typically valid for a single entry /multiple and allowed a stay of  30 days up to 90 days. The e-visa’s validity period often started from the date of entry into Vietnam, so it was important to plan your trip accordingly.
  5. Entry Points: E-visas were generally accepted at major international airports, land border crossings, and seaports in Vietnam. However, it’s essential to confirm the entry points that accept e-visas, as this information may change.
  6. Fees: There was usually a processing fee associated with the e-visa application, which had to be paid online. The fee amount could vary depending on your nationality.

Please keep in mind that this information is based on the situation as of September 2023, and the specific requirements and procedures may have changed since then. To ensure that you have the most current and accurate information regarding Vietnam’s e-visa program, I recommend checking the official website of the Vietnam Immigration Department or contacting the nearest Vietnamese embassy or consulate in your country before making any travel plans.
