Apply for your Vietnam visa online

The Vietnam electronic visa can be obtained by citizens of most countries in the world. A number of nationalities can, however, enter Vietnam without a visa for a period from 14 to 90 days (depending on the country). While others, applying through Passporta, will be guided through a procedure of obtaining a Visa on Arrival.

You can see the precise requirements for your country via the Passporta checker tool. It is located at the top of the page and provides immediate access to the regulations of Vietnam.

To be eligible for online application, travelers must pursue leisure, transit, or business purposes of travel exclusively while the planned stay in the country is 90 days or less.

The Vietnamese authorities have introduced the Pre-Arrival Information scheme. All travelers need to complete the Vietnam Pre-Arrival Card before their entry into the country.

It is essential to note that the Vietnamese arrival card is not equivalent to a visa.

If you have already been granted a visa for Vietnam, do remember to also complete the Pre-Arrival Card prior to your travel.

Travelers who want to get a Vietnam visa online must have a working device like a smartphone, laptop, or tablet and access to the internet.

The application process at Passporta consists of several simple steps:

1. Fill out the form accurately to avoid mistakes and attach documentation.
2. Submit the visa fee along with your form using online payment means.
3. Receive the result via the email address provided in the form.

The issued Vietnam e-Visa arrives as a PDF document, which must be then printed out.

Vietnamese authorities need around 5 days to process the application. Since our team also checks the form before submitting it to authorities to eliminate mistakes, the entire waiting time may take up to 10 days.

Travelers can choose between a single-entry and a multiple-entry e-Visa to Vietnam.

Both of them are valid for up to 90 days from the date chosen in the application form and allow a maximum 90-day period of stay in the country.

NOTE: Some nationalities are granted Vietnam Visa on Arrival with a shorter validity period/allowed period of stay (20 days instead of 90 days).

Travelers with e-Visas can enter Vietnam only through the entry port chosen in the application form.

Currently, electronic visas are accepted for entry and exit at the following ports:
