General information about Vietnam visa

In February 2017, the Government of Vietnam introduced the electronic visa system facilitating a traveler's life. Since then, nationals of certain countries who plan to visit Vietnam can apply for a tourist visa online. The Vietnamese visa is a one-type visa whose holder can enter Vietnam mainly for tourism-related activities. Moreover, the electronic Vietnam visa also enables trips of buisness or tranist character.

Eligible applicants only need to submit an online visa application form within 5 business days prior to the planned trip. It is the maximum processing time to receive the approved visa directly to the email address.

By deciding to apply for a visa to Vietnam online, you will avoid all the complicated formalities related to the traditional visa application. As a holder of an e-Visa to Vietnam, you will not need to cover additional stempel fees upon entering the country.
