ET = Eastern Time (UTC-5 EST / UTC-4 EDT). AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10). GMT = Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0). Cutoffs are approximate — apply as early as possible for fastest service.
How VNT cutoffs work in practice A 1-Day application submitted at 10:59 VNT Monday gets processed Monday. Same application submitted at 11:01 VNT Monday is queued for Tuesday. If Tuesday is a holiday, it rolls to Wednesday. Always apply before the cutoff for the day you need delivery. When in doubt, choose the next faster tier. |

Yes. All VietnamVisaEasy tier prices ($90–$185) include the $25 Vietnamese government fee for single-entry. Multiple entry is +$25.

Choose the Vietnamese airport where your flight lands: SGN for Ho Chi Minh City / Tan Son Nhat, HAN for Hanoi / Noi Bai, DAD for Da Nang, PQC for Phu Quoc, CXR for Nha Trang / Cam Ranh. Never enter a transit hub (SIN, ICN, NRT, DOH) as your entry port. If you transit through Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City: entry port is SGN, not SIN. This is the most common entry port error on urgent applications.
