Most nationals need a visa for Vietnam. However, for some nationals and under certain conditions no visa is required. Please check the tables below:

No visa is required, for short stays only, for citizens of the following countries:

But please note the following:

• There must be 1 month between visits. Otherwise you still need a visa.

• British National Overseas passport holders will need a visa.

No visa is required for a visit to Phu Quoc (maximum 30 days).

But please not that if you like to visit mainland Vietnam after your visit in Phu Quoc you will need to arrange your visa before travelling to Phu Quoc.

No. You will need to apply for a visa before you travel to Vietnam. Without visa you will be denied entrance into Vietnam.

A visa is required for children and babies having their own passport.
If your child/baby does not have their own passport, you do not need to apply for a visa for them.

In 2017 the Vietnamese government has launched the new E-VISA service. It is available for 40 nationalities and for arrival in Vietnam overland, by sea or airplane.
The E-VISA is an electronic visa that you order online and receive by email. You print it out and bring with you to Vietnam. At the Vietnamese border you show your E-VISA and passport. You will then be allowed entry into Vietnam.

The E-VISA is valid for 30 days and allows for one single entry into Vietnam.

The great advantages of the E-VISA are that you don't have to visit the Vietnamese consulate and the low price!

You can only apply for an E-VISA for Vietnam if you meet the following 2 requirements:
1. You have a passport of one of the following 80 countries: List of Countries
2. You arrive at one of the following border gates. Not sure where is which border gate?

No. Please use a border crossing that allows E-VISA. If not possible you will need to apply for your visa at a Vietnamese consulate.

No. This river crossing is not in the list of available border crossings.

NO, you should arrive at the border crossing mentioned on your E-VISA. If you arrive at another border crossing entry to Vietnam may be refused.

- You do not need to visit the Vietnamese consulate, thus saving you travel costs and time.
- You do not need to send us any documents and can keep your passport in a safe place.
- The cost of an E-VISA is lower than the price at a Vietnamese consulate.
- You can apply online from anywhere in the world. You will receive the E-VISA by email and print it out.
- You can contact us day and night (24/7) for any questions or assistance you require.

Any disadvantages?

We can not think of any disadvantage.

What are the differences between E-VISA and Visa On Arrival?
- Visa on arrival is only available for arrival in Vietnam by airplane.
- With E-VISA you may arrive overland, by (cruise) ship or by airplane.
- With visa on arrival you order the approval letter online. You then need to travel to Vietnam and in Vietnam you will collect your visa at the airport.
- With E-VISA you order the visa itself. You don't need to collect your visa in Vietnam.
- With visa on arrival you pay twice. One time when you order the visa approval letter, and one time in Vietnam when you collect your visa.
- With E-VISA you pay only once, when you order online.

Only a 1 month single entry E-VISA is available.
All visitor categories can apply, including tourists, family visitors, students and business travellers.

Are business visa available?

Yes, you can order E-visa for business visits.

The procedure is as follows:
1. Apply online on our website and pay the visa fee.
We need your travel, passport and some personal details. Also have ready a photo of your passport and yourself for upload (JPG or PNG format)
2. The Vietnamese immigration office will check and process your visa application.
3. After 5 working days (or 1 working day with our RUSH service) you will receive your E-VISA by email in PDF format. You need to print this out and bring with you to Vietnam.
4. Travel to Vietnam. Present your passport and E-VISA at the border gate. You will then be allowed entrance to Vietnam.

You can apply up to 6 months before arrival in Vietnam.

No. You should arrive at the border gate you select. It will be shown on your E-VISA. Arriving at another border gate might cause problems with entry to Vietnam.
Please make sure you arrive at a border gate that is mentioned in the border gate list below. Not sure where is which border gate?

You will need to select a start date when you apply for your visa. If you are not sure then please select the first possible date you may arrive. You are allowed to arrive later than the visa start date. But please note that the visa expiry date is fixed and will not change if you arrive later.

NO. This is not allowed.

Yes, you may arrive on any date during the period that your visa is valid.
Please note that your visa expiry date will not change if you arrive later! For example: you applied for a visa with start date 5 April. You arrive on 15 April. You will then have 21 days left to visit Vietnam and need to leave Vietnam latest on 5 May.

Yes. You can apply from anywhere in the world. We will send you the E-VISA by email. You print this out and bring with you to Vietnam.

Yes you can if you are in the nationalities list eligible for e-visa.
