Who needs an E-visa for Vietnam

An electronic visa (E-visa) is a type of visa issued to foreigners by the Vietnamese Immigration Department via an electronic system. A Vietnam E-visa is a single entry visa which allows the bearer to stay within Vietnam for a maximum of 90 consecutive days.

Why e-visa?

  • No additional stamping fee (up to 85$)
  • No need to carry physical photos of oneself for visa-acquiring purposes
  • Travelers with E-visas to Vietnam may enter Vietnam via one of 28 international checkpoints
  • Visiting an embassy is not required
  • The whole procedure is online – once your application has been approved, all you have to do is print your E-visa and show it at the airport. That’s all!
