Citizens of 167+ nationalities can apply for a Vietnam eVisa 100% online. There are two paths: apply directly at evisa.gov.vn (USD 25 government fee, 3–5 business days, no document check, no speed tiers) or apply through VietnamVisaEasy (from USD 50 all-in, document verification before submission, Standard through 1.5-Hour processing tiers, and 24/7 WhatsApp support).
Quick Facts — Vietnam eVisa 2026
- Eligible nationalities: 167+
- Government fee (self-apply): USD 25 (evisa.gov.vn)
- VietnamVisaEasy all-in from: USD 50 (Standard, 3 working days)
- Fastest weekday: 1.5-Hour tier — USD 185 (Mon–Fri only)
- Weekend/holiday: Weekend/Holiday tier — USD 230, cutoff 15:00 VNT
- Validity: Always choose 90 days — same price as 30-day
What You Need Before You Apply
- Passport scan: all 4 corners visible, MRZ (machine-readable zone) strip legible, no glare. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your Vietnam entry date.
- Passport photo: plain white background, JPEG format, taken within the past 6 months.
- Vietnam arrival date: the date your flight lands in Vietnam — NOT your departure date from home. Use DD/MM/YYYY format.
- Entry port: the first Vietnamese airport where you land — SGN (Ho Chi Minh City), HAN (Hanoi), DAD (Da Nang), PQC (Phu Quoc), or CXR (Cam Ranh / Nha Trang). Never a transit hub.
Critical Rules — Read Before Submitting
- Always choose 90-day validity. It costs exactly the same as 30-day and gives you far more flexibility.
- Multiple entry only if needed. Select multiple entry only if you plan to exit Vietnam into a neighboring country (Cambodia, Laos, etc.) and return. Most travelers need single entry.
- Name must match passport MRZ exactly. The name on your eVisa must match the machine-readable zone at the bottom of your passport photo page.
- Children need separate eVisas. Every traveler — including children — requires their own individual eVisa.

How to Apply via VietnamVisaEasy — Step by Step
- Go to https://vietnamvisaeasy.com/apply and choose your processing tier.
- Upload your passport scan. All 4 edges must be visible, the MRZ strip must be clear, no glare or shadow over text.
- Upload your passport photo — white background, JPEG, taken within the past 6 months.
- Enter your Vietnam arrival date in DD/MM/YYYY format (the date you land in Vietnam, not the date you leave home). Select the entry port: the first Vietnamese airport where you arrive (SGN, HAN, DAD, PQC, or CXR).
- Select 90-day validity (same price as 30-day). Choose single or multiple entry. Complete online payment.
- Your approved eVisa is emailed as a PDF. Print it or save it to your phone. Present it to immigration officers on arrival in Vietnam.
SGN pre-arrival declaration: Travellers arriving at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City / SGN) must complete a pre-arrival declaration at prearrival.immigration.gov.vn (mandatory from 15 April 2026).
What NOT to Do
- Do NOT enter a transit hub (Tokyo, Seoul, Dubai, etc.) as your entry port — it must be a Vietnamese airport.
- Do NOT enter your home departure date as your Vietnam entry date — these are different dates.
- Do NOT submit a duplicate application if your first is still processing — duplicates trigger a 24–48 hour hold for both applications.
- Do NOT apply for 30-day validity when 90-day costs the same — always choose 90 days.
