Direct Answer
The government e-visa fee is $25 (single-entry) or $50 (multiple-entry), paid directly at evisa.gov.vn — the cheapest route if you have time to spare. Through an agency, expect $50 and up, depending on processing speed and whether you want document review. Below is the honest breakdown across every real option.

The Government e-Visa Fee (Official, Direct)
| Entry Type | Validity | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Single entry | Up to 90 days | $25 |
| Multiple entry | Up to 90 days | $50 |
Apply directly at evisa.gov.vn — this is the entire cost if you're comfortable filling out the form yourself and have 3–5 working days of lead time.
Worth knowing: this fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome — a fixed government policy that applies no matter how you apply.
Applying Through an Agency
| Processing Time | Total Fee |
|---|---|
| Standard (4–6 days) | $50 |
| 3 days | $90 |
| 1 day | $110 |
| 30–60 minutes (fastest) | $215 |
All-inclusive — government fee already built in. Full 9-tier list on our urgent Vietnam visa service page.
The higher fee at faster tiers buys queue priority and document review — not a different or more reliable government process. Worth choosing based on your actual timeline, not by default.

Visa on Arrival (Airports Only)
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Approval letter (via agent) | $15–25 |
| Stamping fee, paid in cash at the airport | $25 single / $50 multiple |
| Total | $40–75 |
VOA still requires the approval letter arranged before you fly — despite the name, it isn't a walk-up option. Cash is required at the airport counter; it isn't available at land or sea borders, only airports.
Embassy Visa
For long-term, work, or specialized visa types, embassy fees typically range $60–150, varying by country and visa type. Contact the nearest Vietnamese embassy directly for accurate current pricing for your specific situation — this route is less relevant for standard tourist or short business travel, where the e-visa is simpler and cheaper.
Cost Comparison at a Glance
| Route | Cost Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| e-Visa, direct | $25–50 | Trip 10+ days away, cheapest |
| e-Visa, via agency | $50–215 | Sooner travel, or wanting document review |
| Visa on Arrival | $40–75 | Air travelers with the approval letter already arranged |
| Embassy visa | $60–150 | Long stays, work, or specialized purposes |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Vietnam e-visa actually cost?
The government fee alone: $25 single-entry or $50 multiple-entry, applied directly at evisa.gov.vn. Through an agency with document review and optional priority processing, the total including service fee starts around $50.
Is the government fee refundable if my visa is rejected?
No — the government fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome. This is a fixed government policy, not something any agency controls.
How much does Visa on Arrival cost?
Roughly $40-75 total: an approval letter fee ($15-25 through an agent) plus a stamping fee paid in cash at the airport ($25 single-entry / $50 multiple-entry).
Can an agency guarantee my visa won't be delayed or rejected?
No — no agency can guarantee this, since Vietnamese immigration makes the final decision. A refund can apply to a missed processing timeframe on the service side, not the underlying government decision.
Which option is actually the best value?
The e-visa applied directly at evisa.gov.vn, if you have a week or more before travel — cheapest, with no meaningful downside for a traveler in that situation.
