Vietnam E-Visa

1.What is e-Visa of Vietnam?

An electronic visa (e-visa) is one of the several visa types issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department to foreigners intending to enter the country. A Vietnam e-visa is valid for a maximum of 30 days, and is valid for a visitor’s single entry to the country only.

Applicants will obtain their visas electronically after providing the required information, uploading a recent passport photo (recommended dimensions: 600 x 400 px), and finally making payment with a credit or debit card.

Upon successful application, the link to download your e-Visa would be given at the final step, where applicants are informed of their approval status. In addition, the same link where they could download their e-Visa will be sent to them via a separate email message.

Passport control officers at all indicated ports of entry are able to verify applicants’ e-Visa on their systems. However, applicants are advised to carry along either a soft copy (saved on a tablet PC, smart phone, etc.) or a hard copy of e-Visa, in case of any system failures and outages.

2. How does Vietnam e-Visa look like?

An e-Visa is an official document granted by the Immigration of Vietnam which permits a traveler to enter into and travel inside Vietnam. It is an alternative to the visa documentations issued at the embassies of Vietnam and visa on arrival. After an e-Visa application has been approved, the visa issuance system will then send a notice to the applicant, containing a link to a web page to download and print the e-Visa from. Visitors are required to present this e-Visa at the immigration checkpoint for verification upon their arrival in Vietnam.

Please note: e-Visa holders just go straight to the passport control to check & get stamp for entry 30 days, no need to pay any extra amount of money, as well as no need to come to the visa issuing office to get visa. Other types of visa need to come to the visa issuing office (at the embassy, consulate or visa landing counter at the airport) to get visa before going to the passport control.

5. Types of e-Visa

For Vietnam e-Visa, there is two types available, tourist e-Visa (for tourism purpose) and business e-Visa (for working purpose). With both types of  e-Visa, you are permitted to enter and exit Vietnam only one time, with maximum 30 days length of stay. Therefore, this visa is suitable for those who just need single entry to Vietnam and stay in Vietnam in a short time (less than 30 days).

For those who need longer staying in Vietnam or multiple entries to Vietnam, they can consider about Visa On Arrival.

6. Processing time to get e-Visa

It normally takes 2 working days to get e-Visa from the date submitting documents online. However, if applicants need visa urgently, they can choose express services.

  • Normal process: 2 working days
  • Express service: 1 working day or 2 working hours. (Depending on the express service, you need to pay extra fee).

8. Fees

Be different with Visa On Arrival, the fee for those who apply e-Visa is paid only one time. It is called Vietnam e-Visa service fee, being paid when passengers apply online. There is no extra fee when passengers come to Vietnam (If passengers use Visa On Arrival, they have to pay visa stamp fee to get stamp at the airport on arrival). Therefore, passengers only pay one time to get this e-visa.

The fee of e-Visa depends on purpose of the trip. Fee for tourism purpose is cheaper than business purpose.
