Can You Speed Up a Vietnam eVisa After Submission?

Many travelers ask whether they can speed up a Vietnam eVisa after submission, or whether it is too late once the form is sent. The answer depends on one thing: the status of your application.

Can you speed up a Vietnam eVisa after submission?

Yes, if the application is paid and still processing. Once paid, your file sits in the Immigration Department's queue. A speed-up moves it forward. You keep the same application code, details and government fee.

You do not need to cancel anything or fill in the form again.

Which statuses can be sped up?

Check your status first on the official portal.

Search your file on the official e-visa portal with your code, email and date of birth.

How much does it cost after submission?

Less than a new application, because the government fee is paid.

A new application with the same speed costs US$20–US$25 more, and you would also pay a second government fee if you had already paid one.

How do I request the speed-up?

Use the code from your confirmation email.

1. Find the application code starting with E.
2. Open the application form and choose Speed up existing visa.
3. Enter the code, email, passport number and flight time.
4. Choose a speed and pay.
5. We follow the file and send you the result.

Full steps with tips are in how to speed up a Vietnam visa.

How late is too late?

It depends on working hours, not calendar hours. The Immigration Department works Monday to Friday, about 8:00–11:30 and 13:30–18:30 Vietnam time (GMT+7).

• If there are 2 or more working hours before you must leave for the airport, the 30–60 minute speed can still work.
• If the deadline is on a weekend, only the weekend speed runs.
• If your flight leaves in the evening on a public holiday, message us first.

When it is truly too late, we tell you before you pay. We would rather lose an order than sell a speed that cannot work.

What happens after I pay for the speed-up?

We take over the follow-up of your file. Here is what happens next:

1. We confirm your order by email within minutes, with the guaranteed time.
2. We check your application details against your passport scan, if you send one.
3. We request faster handling of your file.
4. We tell you on WhatsApp if the Immigration Department asks for anything.
5. We send the visa PDF the moment it is granted.

You do not need to log in to evisa.gov.vn or do anything else, unless we ask you for a document.

Most speed-ups are finished well within the guaranteed time. If the Immigration Department asks a question about your file, we tell you right away so no time is lost.

When is a new application better?

When the old one cannot be used.

• The application was never paid.
• It was denied.
• The passport number on it is wrong or belongs to an old passport.
• You need a different entry type, such as multiple entry instead of single.

In these cases, a new application is faster than trying to fix the old one. Read should I apply for a second Vietnam visa for when it is safe.

Can I speed up a file another agency submitted?

Yes, if you have the application code. The file belongs to you, not to the agency. With the code, the email used and your passport details, we can follow and speed up the same application.

Ask the first agency for the code if you do not have it. If they cannot give it, check the email address that was used on the form.

Will speeding up make approval less likely?

No. The same officers check your file with the same rules. A speed-up changes when your file is reviewed, not how. Files are refused for reasons such as unclear photos or data that does not match the passport, never for being sped up.

If you want to know what causes refusals, see Vietnam e-visa rejected: reasons and fixes.

What if it still does not arrive?

Our guarantee covers you. If we are more than 30 minutes late, we refund everything you paid. If Immigration refuses the visa because of the information provided, we refund the expedite fee (the government fee and payment fees are not refunded); if it is refused without a stated reason, we refund 100%. See the refund policy.
