Super Urgent Vietnam eVisa: 30–60 Minute Processing

This is the speed for real emergencies: you are at the airport, or will be soon. A super urgent Vietnam eVisa is processed in 30–60 minutes. Here is when it works, and how to make sure nothing slows it down.

What is a super urgent Vietnam eVisa?

Our fastest regular speed: 30–60 minutes during Vietnamese working hours. It is the official e-visa issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department, valid for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry.

Prices include the government fee. See every speed in the service fee guide.

When is it possible?

Only while the office is open. That is Monday to Friday, about 8:00–11:30 and 13:30–18:30 Vietnam time (GMT+7).

If Vietnam is closed, the 60 minutes start when the office opens. On weekends, the weekend service (US$230) delivers by about 6 PM Vietnam time.

What should I prepare before paying?

Everything, so no minute is lost.

• Passport photo page: flat, sharp, all 4 corners, no glare.
• Portrait: against a plain light wall, no glasses, face fully visible.
• Landing date and airport in Vietnam.
• Your first address, such as a hotel.
• Check-in closing time for your flight.

Most delays to super urgent orders come from a photo that must be retaken.

How do I order it?

About 5 minutes on your phone.

1. Open the application form.
2. Choose Apply new e-visa, or Speed up existing visa if you already applied.
3. Select Urgent 30–60 minutes.
4. Upload your documents and pay.
5. Send your flight number and check-in closing time to us on WhatsApp.

If we see that it cannot finish before check-in closes, we tell you straight away.

What can stop a super urgent visa?

A few things are outside anyone's control.

• The office is about to break for lunch or close for the day.
• The Immigration Department asks for a correction.
• Your nationality is subject to extra checks.
• The government system is slow on peak days.

We tell you about these before you pay, not after.

Is super urgent always the right choice?

No. Only when slower speeds cannot make it. If check-in closes in 3 hours or more, 1.5 hours (US$185) or 2.5 hours (US$155) is cheaper. Compare in Vietnam visa in 1 hour or 2 hours.

What should I do at the airport while waiting?

Stay close to check-in and keep your phone charged.

• Tell the airline you are expecting your visa within the hour.
• Ask the latest time they can accept you.
• Download the PDF the moment it arrives and check the details.

What does a super urgent order look like in practice?

Here is a typical case. A traveler from Singapore reaches Changi at 10:15 AM for a 12:30 PM flight to Hanoi. At check-in, she learns she needs a visa.

1. 10:20 AM (9:20 AM Vietnam): she pays for the 30–60 minute speed and sends her flight number.
2. 10:25 AM: we ask for a clearer photo, taken against a white wall near the gate.
3. 10:30 AM: we submit the application.
4. 11:05 AM: the visa is granted and emailed.
5. 11:15 AM: she shows the PDF at check-in and boards.

The whole process took 45 minutes, including retaking the photo.

Can a whole family get super urgent visas?

Yes, in one order. Each person needs their own visa, including children. Send all passports and photos together. We process them in parallel, so the family's visas arrive at about the same time. For 5 or more people, message us before paying, so we can confirm timing. See group urgent visa applications.

Which passports may take longer?

Some nationalities get extra checks. Holders of passports from Algeria, Turkey, Tunisia and Sri Lanka pay a US$30 surcharge and may wait longer. Mauritius and Egypt can use only the 4 working day speed. The form shows the options for your nationality.

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.

What if it does not arrive in time?

You are protected. If we go more than 30 minutes past the 60 working minutes, 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%. Read the refund policy.

You can verify the visa on the official e-visa portal. For the full picture of fast options, see the Vietnam emergency visa guide.
