Direct Answer

Pricing: 3-Day USD 90 • 1-Day USD 110 • 5-Hour USD 125 • 2.5-Hour USD 155 • 1-Hour USD 185 • Weekend USD 230. Government fee included.
1-Hour cutoff Mon–Fri: 07:00 ET / 04:00 PT / 21:00 AEST / 11:00 BST / 18:00 VNT. Already applied on evisa.gov.vn: Speed Up from USD 65 without reapplying. After all cutoffs: WhatsApp Boarding Letter ~30 min, 24/7.
Do not reapply if application already submitted — 24–48h duplication hold on both.

Transparent Pricing and Exact Cutoffs
All prices include the USD 25 government fee. Speed Up pricing applies when the application was already submitted directly on evisa.gov.vn and the government fee has been paid — USD 25 is deducted. All tiers operate Monday–Friday during Vietnamese business hours (08:00–18:00 VNT, UTC+7). Weekend batch is separate.
| Tier | New app | Speed Up * | VNT cutoff | ET cutoff | AEST cutoff | BST cutoff |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Day | USD 90 | USD 65 | 11:00 | midnight | 14:00 | 04:00 |
| 1-Day | USD 110 | USD 85 | 11:00 | midnight | 14:00 | 04:00 |
| 5-Hour | USD 125 | USD 100 | 13:00 | 02:00 | 16:00 | 06:00 |

* Speed Up: already submitted on evisa.gov.vn, USD 25 govt fee paid, deducted from price. Do not reapply — 24–48h duplication hold. PT: ET−3h. MT: ET−2h. CT: ET−1h. Saskatchewan CT year-round. AEDT (Oct–Apr): AEST+1h. Perth AWST 1-Hour: 19:00. Multiple entry: add USD 25 to any tier. 30-day and 90-day same price — always choose 90 days.
Government Site vs Freelance Agent vs Registered Agency
Most travelers compare these three options. Here is how they differ, honestly:
| Government (DIY) | Freelance agent | Registered agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fastest delivery | 3–5 business days (standard only) | Varies, often unverifiable | 1 hour, published |
| Pricing | USD 25 govt fee only | Often negotiated, inconsistent | Published upfront, all-in |
| Document review | None — self-check only | Depends on individual | Yes — before every submission |
| Recourse if wrong | Government help desk only | Personal contact, no formal accountability | Business entity, reviewable record |
| Payment method | Official payment gateway | Often bank transfer to personal account | Card or PayPal, traceable |
The freelance agent route is not automatically a scam — many are genuine. But the structural risk is real: if a freelance agent disappears mid-application, there is no business entity to hold accountable, and a payment to a personal bank account is very difficult to reverse. That trade-off is worth knowing before choosing on price alone.
What Document Review Actually Catches
"We review your documents before submission" is easy to say. Here is what it means in practice — these are the ordinary mistakes anyone can make filling out a form on a phone at 11 PM before a trip:
- Wrong entry port. Transit hub IATA codes (SIN, ICN, NRT, DXB, DOH) entered instead of the Vietnamese airport. The portal accepts them without flagging. Immigration review catches it days later and triggers Amendment Required with no email notification.
- HEIC photo from iPhone. Vietnam Immigration requires JPEG. iPhone default is HEIC. One character difference in format causes Amendment Required and stops all urgent processing.
- Missing middle name. US, Canadian, and Australian passports commonly list middle names in the MRZ that applicants omit on forms. Name mismatch at review = Amendment Required.
- Entry date = departure date. Flights from the US and Australia typically arrive in Vietnam one or two calendar days after departure due to the date line and transit time. Entering the departure date instead of the Vietnam arrival date is caught at the manifest check.
- Blurry passport scan. Flash glare over the MRZ lines or photo taken at an angle makes text unreadable at review. The file is flagged and processing stops.
Catching any of these before submission costs nothing. Catching them after an Amendment Required has been issued resets the clock to Day 1 — which on a 1-Hour or 2.5-Hour application makes delivery within the window impossible.
Already Applied on evisa.gov.vn — Speed Up Without Reapplying
If an application was already submitted directly on evisa.gov.vn and the USD 25 government fee has been paid, Speed Up applies with the fee deducted. Contact WhatsApp +84 947 754 252 with:
- Reference Code from post-payment email (format E260705...)
- Email address registered on evisa.gov.vn
- Flight number and departure time
Check status at evisa.gov.vn/e-visa/search first. If status shows "Amendment Required" rather than "In Process": an error stopped processing and a free correction is available via WhatsApp — no Speed Up fee needed. Do not reapply regardless of status: two active applications trigger a 24–48 hour hold on both.
How to Tell a Legitimate Provider from a Risky One
Sending a passport scan to a website is a reasonable thing to feel cautious about. Here is what a legitimate process looks like:
| 1 | Pricing published before payment | Not "contact for a quote." All-in price visible on the site before you enter any personal details. |
| 2 | Reviews on independent platform | Trustpilot or Google — not only testimonials placed on the provider's own website, which cannot be independently verified. |
| 3 | Traceable payment method | Card or PayPal — not wire transfer to a personal bank account, which is very difficult to reverse. |
| 4 | Support reachable before you pay | A real channel available before payment, not only after. WhatsApp support that replies before you commit. |
A legitimate provider asks only for what the government application itself requires: passport bio page scan, portrait photo, travel dates, and payment for the service fee. If a provider asks for anything beyond this — banking passwords, unrelated credentials, or anything else — that is a reason to stop.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an urgent Vietnam visa service actually do?
Submits your eVisa on a priority track with document review before submission. The approved eVisa is identical to one from evisa.gov.vn. Service fee covers document check (entry port, HEIC photo, name, entry date), priority queue, and support if corrections are needed. Government fee USD 25 included in all prices.
How is using an agency different from applying on evisa.gov.vn myself?
The eVisa is identical. DIY on evisa.gov.vn costs USD 25 govt fee only — no document check, no priority queue, no error support. Agency adds those three at a service fee from USD 65 (3-Day Speed Up) to USD 160 (1-Hour Speed Up) on top. Worth it if you are close to a flight or have had an Amendment Required error.
