What's Vietnam e-Visa?
An electronic visa (e-visa) is a type of visa issued by the Vietnamese Immigration Department via an online application process. It's a convenient option for travelers who want to avoid the hassle of applying for a visa at a Vietnamese embassy or consulate.
Here's a summary about Vietnam e-visa:
- Validity: Up to 90 days, single or multiple entry
- Government fee: $25 for single entry, $50 for multiple entry
- Processing time: 3 working days
You can apply for a Vietnam e-visa online through the National Immigration Portal of Vietnam or on our website. You will need to provide your passport information, travel details, and a digital photo. Once your application is approved, you will receive an e-visa via email that you can print and present at the border upon arrival in Vietnam.
E-visa holders can only enter and exit Vietnam through designated international airports and land border gates.
Types of Vietnam e-Visa
There's currently only one type of Vietnam e-Visa offered, but it comes with two options for entry
- Single entry: This e-Visa allows you a single stay in Vietnam for up to 90 days from your date of arrival.
- Multiple entry: This e-Visa allows multiple stays in Vietnam, each with a maximum stay of 30 days, for a total validity period of 90 days.
Both e-Visas are electronically issued and can be obtained through the National Immigration Portal of Vietnam or our website. The application process is generally straightforward, and you should receive your e-Visa within 3 working days.
