Direct Answer
Both are genuinely real: 30–60 minutes for $215, or 2.5 hours for $155 — a $60 gap for roughly two extra hours of buffer. The document you get is identical either way. The only question worth asking is whether your actual check-in time genuinely needs the faster one, or whether the cheaper tier already covers your real window comfortably.

Side by Side
| 30–60 Minutes | 2.5 Hours | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | $215 | $155 |
| Government review | Identical | Identical |
| The document itself | Identical | Identical |
| Best for | Under 2 hours until check-in | 2–5 hours until check-in |
The $60 difference buys queue priority, not a different or more reliable process. If your genuine window is 3 hours, the 2.5-hour tier delivers the identical outcome as the 1-hour tier — the extra $60 for the faster option would be spent on speed that isn't actually needed.
A Quick Way to Decide
- Under 2 hours until check-in, or you're already at the airport: the 1-hour tier is the right call — the extra cost is worth it here
- 2–5 hours of genuine runway: the 2.5-hour tier does the identical job for $60 less
- Genuinely unsure which category you're in: message support with your exact check-in time — a quick, honest recommendation costs nothing

If It's Outside Working Hours
Neither tier processes outside Vietnamese government working hours, Monday to Friday — not a 24/7 clock, whatever a given ad might imply. If your situation is genuinely outside those hours, or falls on a weekend, a boarding letter can bridge check-in in about 30 minutes while the full e-visa continues processing.
What No Agency Can Honestly Guarantee
No service, including us, can guarantee approval or an exact delivery minute at either tier — that decision belongs to Vietnamese immigration. What we can honestly commit to: if we miss the timeframe you paid for, the processing fee comes back in full.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's actually different between the 1-hour and 2.5-hour tiers?
Only speed and priority queue placement — both go through the identical government review and produce the identical document. The gap in delivery time is real; the outcome isn't different.
Is the price difference worth it?
Only if the extra speed genuinely matters for your specific check-in time — if 2-3 hours comfortably covers your window, the cheaper tier does the identical job.
Do both tiers work outside Vietnamese working hours?
No — neither tier processes outside Vietnamese government working hours, Monday to Friday. A boarding letter is the correct tool for genuinely outside-hours situations.
Can urgent tiers work on weekends or holidays?
No — standard urgent tiers depend on Vietnamese working hours specifically. A separate weekend service, or a boarding letter, applies to weekend and holiday situations instead.
Is approval guaranteed at either tier?
No — no agency can guarantee approval, since Vietnamese immigration makes the final decision regardless of tier.
