A new policy involving electronic visas for Norwegian citizens has just been approved by the Vietnamese government. As a result, beginning in August 2023, Norwegian nationals may use the e-visa system to apply for a 3-month multiple-entry visa to Vietnam.
1/ New Vietnam strategy From August 2023, Norwegian citizens will be able to obtain an electronic visa good for three months
2017 saw the first trial of the Vietnam e-visa. At the time, Norwegian nationals could only apply for a single entry e-visa with a 30-day maximum validity. The Vietnamese government revived the tourism business and drew in foreign tourists after Covid-19 badly damaged the sector. Visa requirements, however, continue to be a hurdle for both foreign and particularly Norwegian tourists.
A new visa policy for Norwegian citizens was agreed by the Vietnamese government during the National Assembly meeting in August 2023. Vietnam’s e-visa period was increased from 30 to 90 days, and it now allows for repeated entries. This is a new development in the campaign to bring Norwegian tourists back to Vietnam.

The 3-month multiple-entry E-visa for Vietnam can be readily applied for online. The following two soft files must be ready for Norwegian visitors in order to apply for a visa online:
After gathering all the necessary documents, Norwegian visitors can begin the online application process for a 3-month multiple entry visa to Vietnam:
Norwegian people must first go to the website https://www.vietnamimmigration.com/apply-vietnam-visa/ to submit an application for a Vietnam visa.
Then, Norwegian people complete the online form by following the website’s instructions. Basic personal information, details regarding the type of visa, dates of entry and exit, locations of entry and exit, and other information are all needed. It should be noted that the ideal sort of visa is an electronic one with a three-month validity and multiple entrance capability.
Next, go to upload your photo and passport in accordance with the instructions, and then give your email address to obtain the outcome of your visa application.
After Norwegian visitors finish the online payment stage, the online visa application process will come to an end.
3/ How long does it take for Norwegian people to apply for a 3-month e-visa to enter Vietnam several times?
Each application for a Vietnam visa with a 3-month validity period and multiple entries typically takes 3 to 5 working days to process. Vietnamese public holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays do not count as working days. Citizens of Norway can then determine when their visa application will be processed.
In order to avoid last-minute issues, Norwegian visitors should apply for a visa online at least two weeks before their travel. Norwegian citizens can pay an additional urgent charge to receive a 3-month multiple visa result faster in circumstances where entering Vietnam urgently is required.
The e-visa will be delivered to the email address that Norwegian visitors previously provided on the online form after it has been authorized. The material on the visa should be carefully reviewed by Norwegian visitors, who should print a paper copy and store a soft copy on their phone. Before permitting Norwegian nationals admission into Vietnam, the immigration officer will examine their passport and electronic visa.
In conclusion, the new visa policy implemented by the Vietnamese government is now very advantageous to Norwegian travelers. Norwegian nationals now have access to the 3-month multiple-entry E-visa, which means the entrance requirements are being relaxed and making it easier for them to travel to Vietnam for an extended period of time with a visa.
