EVisa Application Process

Note: Currently, the application for an EVisa to Vietnam is no longer processed on the Vietnam Immigration Department’s E-Visa Portal. Instead, it is done entirely on the national public service portal. Here are the steps:

– Access the corresponding EVisa registration link.

– Choose the “Submit Application” option to proceed.

– Upload the portrait photo and passport photo of the foreign applicant (and enter confirmation email if the applicant is submitting the application online).

– Fill in all required information, including personal details, proposed visa details, passport information, contact details, occupation details, and details about the trip.

– Agree to the terms and conditions, then proceed and confirm.

– Verify the accuracy of the information and receive the verification code. Save the code in an easily accessible place as you will need it later.

– Pay the EVisa service fee (25 USD / 50 USD) through the online platform.

– After a few days, check the processing status of the electronic visa application using one of the provided links.

– Receive the download link and then print the e-visa after your visa application is approved.

– Present the electronic visa or verification code at the immigration checkpoint upon entry to Vietnam.

EVisa Application Fee

The EVisa application fee has two categories:

1. Single-entry visa fee: 25 US dollars/visa.
2. Multiple-entry visa fee: 50 US dollars/visa.

Important: This fee is non-refundable, so double-check the information you provide in the application form.

Note the following:

– The EVisa fee is non-refundable, so carefully review the information you provide in the application form.

– The entry point stated on the visa cannot be changed. You cannot alter this information after submitting the e-visa application or after receiving the visa. If you want to change the entry point, you need to apply for a new visa.

– The visa processing time is typically around 3 working days, but this may vary depending on the number of applications or public holidays. Therefore, it is advisable to submit your application at least 2 weeks before your planned visit to Vietnam.

– Please note that you cannot apply for an EVisa as a group. Each application only applies to a single applicant.
