Beginning on August 15, 2023, Vietnam has introduced a new electronic visa (e-visa) system for all nationalities. The Vietnam e-visas allow travellers to stay for up to 90 days and make multiple entries during their visit. Additionally, citizens of specific countries will receive the privilege of visa exemption, allowing them to explore Vietnam for an extended period of up to 45 days.

Vietnam now offers e-visas to citizens of all countries and territories entering from August 15, following a government resolution. Previously, Vietnam granted 30-day single-entry e-visas to citizens of 80 countries. The new e-visa, issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department via the electronic system, allows multiple entries within 90 days, providing enhanced convenience for exploring the country.

Reliable sources like VnExpress report a well-planned network of entry and exit points for seamless use of Vietnam E-visas. This includes 13 major international airports, 16 accessible land border crossings, and 13 convenient sea border crossings, catering to travellers embracing this innovative system.

Why Choose Vietnam E-Visas

Obtaining a Vietnam E-visa online is a highly convenient and efficient approach to securing an entry permit. In contrast to the potential challenges of obtaining a visa on arrival, an E-visa offers a smoother and more efficient process. By choosing an E-visa, you can bypass potential airport stress and check-in delays, ensuring a seamless start to your journey.

How to Apply for Vietnam E-visas

For non-citizens of Vietnam, applying for a Vietnam E-visa is conveniently done through the e-visa web portal of the Vietnam Immigration Department. Accurate provision of crucial trip details is essential for a successful application, including entry date, duration of stay, chosen ports of entry and departure, and temporary residential address in Vietnam.

When completing the e-visa request section, foreign applicants must choose between a single-entry or multiple-entry visa based on their trip’s purpose. Information from the passport’s data page and accompanying passport photo uploads are required.

After submission, applicants are prompted to pay a processing fee of US$25 for the single-entry visa. Once you receive the electronic dossier code from the immigration authority, this unique code lets you monitor your Vietnam E-visa application status on the dedicated web portal.

The processing time for e-visa issuance is approximately three working days. To access the electronic visa and print it, visit the following link: https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/tra-cuu-thi-thuc.
