Vietnam E-Visa Requirements (2026)
Before you begin, make sure you have the following ready:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Passport | Valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned arrival date |
| Portrait photo | Recent passport-style photo, plain white background, no glasses or headwear |
| Passport data page scan | Clear, uncropped photo or scan showing all information |
| Entry & exit port | Decide your arrival airport, land border, or seaport in advance |
| Email address | Used to receive your approval letter and status updates |
| Payment method | Valid credit or debit card |
Tip: Blurry photos and mismatched passport details are the most common reasons applications get delayed or rejected. Double-check every field before you submit.
Eligibility & Visa Exemption Note
As of 2026, Vietnam’s e-visa program is open to citizens of essentially all countries and territories, including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, India, and the EU. That said, some nationalities benefit from unilateral visa exemption for short stays (typically 14–45 days depending on the country), which may mean you don’t need an e-visa at all for a brief trip.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify for exemption or need the full 90-day e-visa, it’s worth checking your specific nationality before applying — using an e-visa when you’re already exempt just means an unnecessary fee, while assuming exemption when you’re not eligible can mean denied boarding.
Step-by-Step: How to Apply for a Vietnam E-Visa Online
Option A — Applying Yourself on the Official Government Portal
- Go to the official e-visa portal (evisa.gov.vn) and select the online application form.
- Upload your documents — passport data page and portrait photo.
- Fill in the form — personal details, passport information, trip details (entry/exit ports, intended dates, address in Vietnam), and answer a series of background questions.
- Submit and pay the government fee online by card.
- Wait for processing — typically 3–5 working days.
- Check your status and download your e-visa once approved.
Government fee (fixed, non-refundable):
- Single entry: $25 USD
- Multiple entry: $50 USD
This route works, but the government form is long, offers no live support, doesn’t allow corrections after submission, and has no rush option if something goes wrong before your flight.
Option B — Applying Through Our Service
- Send us your details by email or WhatsApp — just your passport photo page, a portrait photo, and your travel plans (entry port, intended dates). No forms to fill out yourself.
- We check everything by hand — a real visa specialist reviews your passport scan and photo, catches errors or mismatched details, and confirms your fee and processing time with you directly in the chat.
- We prepare and submit your application with Vietnam’s immigration authorities on your behalf, keeping you updated by WhatsApp or email at each stage.
- You receive your approved e-visa by email, ready to print — with a specialist still reachable by WhatsApp if anything looks wrong or you have last-minute questions.
