Vietnamese eletronic visa or eVisa Vietnam is processed through an online system. As a result, the visa application process has been significantly simplified, offering great convenience for both Vietnamese people and foreigners.
What are the requirements and paperwork involved when applying for a Vietnamese e-Visa? Let’s explore together with Thao & Co.
An electronic visa is a type of visa issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department for foreigners via an online portal instead of a loose-leaf or a stamped visa in your passport.
This is categorized as a level 4 administrative procedure in Vietnam. Every step of the process, from registration, fee payment, and visa issuance is all done through the Internet.
Previously, Vietnam piloted this e-visa scheme for only a few countries. However, following Resolution No.127/NQ-CP issued by the Vietnamese government dated 14/8/2023, e-visa has been applied for all countries and territories at international checkpoints.
This loosened visa policy serves to encourage and attract more foreigners to Vietnam. E-visa holders can enter or exit Vietnam through 42 international checkpoints including all international airports, landports, and seaports as follows:
To be granted eVisa, you need to meet all the following requirements:
Additionally, individuals holding passports issued by Vietnam visa-exempted countries will not be required to apply for a visa and can enter quickly.
Vietnam’s e-visa is valid for a single or multiple entries. E-visas are valid for a minimum of 1 month and no more than 90 days.
E-visa fees vary across different types of Visa, specifically:
Payment will be made online during the visa application process via the website of the Vietnam Immigration Department.
In general, Vietnam’s e-visa application is quite simple and easy to follow. The visa application process will differ depending on whether the applicant is an individual or a business.
