Emergency Vietnam eVisa in 1 Day or 2 Days

If your trip is a few days away, you do not need an hour-by-hour rescue. A Vietnam eVisa in 1 or 2 days is usually enough, and it costs far less than the fastest speeds. Here is how to pick the right one.

How fast is a Vietnam eVisa in 1 or 2 days?

Within 1 or 2 Vietnamese working days from payment. Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding Vietnamese public holidays. Office hours are about 8:00–11:30 and 13:30–18:30 Vietnam time (GMT+7).

Prices are per person, single entry, government fee included. Multiple entry adds US$25.

How are working days counted?

From the moment you pay, in Vietnamese working hours.

Most visas arrive earlier than the due time. The guarantee is the latest moment.

Which one should I choose?

The slower one, if it still arrives before you leave for the airport.

1. Convert your departure time to Vietnam time.
2. Count Vietnamese working days between now and then.
3. If 2 working days fit with half a day of margin, choose 2 days.
4. If not, choose 1 day or 5 hours.

The visa is identical at every speed. Paying more only buys time.

What about weekends and holidays?

They do not count. An order on Friday afternoon is due on Monday or Tuesday, not on Saturday. Vietnamese public holidays, such as Tet, 30 April, 1 May and 2 September, pause the count too.

If you need the visa on a weekend, the US$230 weekend and holiday service is the only option. See approval on weekends and holidays.

How do I apply?

About 5 minutes online.

1. Open the application form.
2. Choose Apply new e-visa and select 1 or 2 working days.
3. Upload your passport photo page and a portrait photo.
4. Enter your arrival date and airport.
5. Pay by card or PayPal.

Follow your order with the code we email you on the order status page.

What if I already applied?

Speed it up instead. The 2 working day speed-up costs US$80 and 1 working day US$90, because the government fee is already paid. Read how to speed up a Vietnam visa.

Who uses the 1 and 2 day speeds most?

Travelers who planned late, but not too late.

• Business travelers whose meeting was confirmed this week.
• Families who forgot one child's visa.
• Travelers who just learned their nationality is not visa-exempt.
• People who applied on the government site and are still waiting.

What documents do I need?

The same as any e-visa. A clear passport photo page, a recent portrait on a plain background, your arrival date, entry airport and first address. Your passport should be valid at least 6 months after arrival.

What mistakes cause delays?

Applying on Friday evening is the most common one. It wastes the weekend. Others are blurry scans, missing middle names and wrong arrival dates. We check every file before submitting.

What does a 2 day order look like?

A business traveler in Seoul, meeting in Hanoi on Friday. On Monday at 3 PM Seoul time (1 PM in Vietnam), his meeting is confirmed. He applies for 2 working days at US$100.

The visa is due by Wednesday at 1 PM Vietnam time. It arrives on Tuesday afternoon. He flies on Thursday evening with time to spare. A 30–60 minute visa would have cost US$115 more for the same result.

Should I choose single or multiple entry?

Multiple entry if you will leave Vietnam and come back. Many short trips include a stop in Cambodia, Laos or Thailand. A single-entry visa ends when you leave, even if days remain. Multiple entry adds only US$25 at any speed.

How do I check the visa when it arrives?

Match it to your passport in 2 minutes. Check the full name, passport number, date of birth, the valid-from date and the entry point. Then search it on the official e-visa search page with your application code. If anything differs, tell us before you travel.

Can I change speed after ordering?

Yes, if we have not submitted yet. If your flight moves earlier, message us with your order code. You pay the difference for a faster speed. If it moves later, we can switch to a slower speed and refund the difference.

Is the delivery time guaranteed?

Yes. 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 our refund policy. Verify any visa on the official e-visa portal.
