1. Vietnam e-visa: the key rules
The Vietnam government officially grants electronic visas (e-visas) to citizens of all countries starting August 15th, 2023.

2. What is Vietnam E-visa?
Vietnam e-visa is an electronic visa system introduced by the Vietnamese government to simplify the visa application process for eligible travelers. It allows visitors of all nationalities to apply for their visa online, eliminating the need to visit an embassy or consulate in person. Currently, the duration of stay with a Vietnam e-visa is up to 90 days from the entry date.
You can enter Vietnam with an e-visa at the airports, land border gates and sea ports listed on the official portal. The application asks you to name your intended port of entry, so choose it carefully; if your plans change after the e-visa is issued, check the current rule on evisa.gov.vn before you travel.
3. Vietnam e-visa fee
You pay the Vietnam e-visa fee online by card when you submit the application; the fee differs for single- and multiple-entry e-visas and is shown on the official portal before you pay. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, JCB and American Express.
4. Processing time for Vietnam e-visa
The processing of your request will take 3 working days (GMT +7). Exclude Saturday, Sunday, and holidays.
5. Vietnam e-visa requirements

8. Short on time before your trip?
First-time visitors sometimes leave the application too late or make a small mistake in the form (a mistyped passport number or a wrong date), which can delay the e-visa. Apply at least a week or two before departure, double-check every field against your passport, and remember that processing only runs on Vietnamese working days.
