Depending on your nationality and length of stay, you may need a visa. The eVisa covers stays up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, and you apply online before you travel. Check the official site for current eligibility and processing times, as rules change.

Not sure where to start?

You have two ways to apply:

Use a Visa Service (Recommended)

If you want a smoother, more stress-free experience, using a visa assistance service is often the better choice, especially if you are short on time, unsure about requirements, or simply want to avoid costly mistakes.

Instead of guessing whether your application is correct, a visa service checks everything for you before submission and helps reduce the risk of errors that could delay your trip.

I recommend Vietnam eVisa Online for travellers who want extra support and peace of mind.

Their service includes:

✓ Passport and document checks

✓ Photo review to ensure compliance

✓ Application error checking before submission

✓ Step-by-step submission assistance

✓ Application tracking updates

✓ Customer support if anything is unclear

✓ Your approved eVisa delivered directly by email

For most travellers, the small service fee is worth it for the time saved and the reduced risk of application issues, especially if you are planning a tight itinerary or multi-country trip.

Apply Yourself

You can apply directly through Vietnam’s official government eVisa website.

This is the lowest-cost option because you’ll only pay the official government visa fee. However, the entire application is your responsibility from start to finish.

You’ll need to choose the correct visa, prepare and upload the required documents and photos, enter your passport and travel details accurately, carefully check everything before submitting, and monitor the application yourself.

There’s no additional service checking your application before it reaches immigration, so this option is best if you’re confident completing official forms, comfortable managing the process yourself and applying with plenty of time before your trip.

Vietnam eVisa FAQs

Which option would I choose?

Personally, I almost always use a visa agency. I’ve had situations where a visa was delayed or there was an issue I wouldn’t have known about, and having someone follow it up for me saved me a lot of headaches.

For me, that peace of mind is worth paying a little extra for, especially when an entire trip depends on getting the visa on time.

How long can a Vietnam eVisa be valid for?

Vietnam eVisas can be issued for up to 90 days and can be single or multiple entry, depending on the visa you apply for.

What’s the difference between single and multiple entry?

A single-entry visa allows you to enter Vietnam once. If you leave Vietnam, that visa can no longer be used to re-enter.

A multiple-entry visa allows you to leave and re-enter Vietnam during the visa’s validity period.

If you’re planning to visit another country during your Vietnam trip and then return to Vietnam, make sure you choose the appropriate option.

How early should I apply?

Don’t leave your visa until the last minute. Processing can take longer if information needs to be corrected or during busy periods, so I recommend applying well before your departure date.
