Vietnam eVisa 2026: required for US, Canada, Australia, India, Ireland, and Netherlands. Priority processing from 30-60 minutes (USD 215) to 3 days (USD 90) — all prices include the USD 25 government fee. Already applied on evisa.gov.vn and it's stalled: Speed Up from USD 65, do not reapply. Entry port must be SGN, HAN, or DAD — never SIN, ICN, or NRT.

The exemption list is longer than most travelers expect — and shorter in exactly the places that catch people out. Ireland isn't on it. Neither is the Netherlands, Portugal, or Switzerland.

What each status actually means, why Amendment Required looks exactly like In Process for days before switching, and how to get a straight answer when the portal won't load.

The portal goes down every day at noon Vietnam time — and sometimes at less predictable moments during peak season or when your ISP decides Vietnamese government domains look suspicious. What's actually happening, how to get around it, and why you don't need evisa.gov.vn working at all to apply or check your status.

Five calendar days can mean one real working day — and a week of silence often means the application stopped on day one with no email to show for it. What the portal is actually doing while you wait, how to count the days that matter, and why the thing that feels most logical to do next is also the one thing guaranteed to make it worse.
