Direct Answer
All three are genuinely real, and all three produce the identical government e-visa: 30–60 minutes ($215), 2.5 hours ($155), or 5 hours ($125). The only real question is which one your actual check-in time needs — not which one sounds the most reassuring. Below: how to match your real deadline to the right tier, without overpaying for speed you don't need.

All Three, Side by Side
| Tier | Fee | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 5 hours | $125 | Later today or early tomorrow, 5–8 hours out |
| 2.5 hours | $155 | A genuine few hours of runway, 2–5 hours out |
| 30–60 minutes | $215 | Under 2 hours, or already at the airport |
Every tier submits into the identical government review process — the fee difference buys queue priority, not a different or more reliable outcome. The document you receive is the same regardless of which tier you choose.
How to Pick Without Overpaying
- Count your real hours until check-in closes, not until your flight departs — check-in typically closes well before departure
- Match to the tier that comfortably covers that window, not the fastest one available "just in case"
- If genuinely unsure, ask. Message support with your exact check-in time — a quick, honest recommendation costs nothing, and we'll say so if a cheaper tier already fits

Documents — Identical for All Three
- Passport valid 6+ months from your entry date
- A portrait-style digital photo meeting the standard requirements
- A separate scan of your passport's data page — both this and the photo above are required, not one or the other
- Your travel dates and entry port
Already Applied? Don't Start Over
If you already submitted an application and it's stuck, don't reapply at any of these tiers. Provide your registration code to request a speed-up on the existing file instead — it typically costs less than a fresh application at the identical speed, since the government fee doesn't need to be paid a second time.
If It's Outside Working Hours
None of these three tiers process 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, 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 any of these tiers — 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 the real difference between the 1-hour, 2.5-hour, and 5-hour tiers?
Only speed and priority queue placement — all three go through the identical government review and produce the identical document. Faster costs more; it doesn't produce a different or more reliable outcome.
How do I know which of the three I actually need?
Match it to your real check-in time: under 2 hours means the 1-hour tier, 2-5 hours means the 2.5-hour tier, 5-8 hours means the 5-hour tier — overpaying for speed you don't need is the most common mistake here.
What documents do all three tiers require?
The identical documents regardless of tier: a portrait-style digital photo and a scan of your passport's data page — both are required, not just one.
Do any of these tiers work outside Vietnamese working hours?
No — none of the three process outside Vietnamese government working hours, Monday to Friday. A boarding letter is the correct tool for genuinely outside-hours situations.
Is approval guaranteed at any of these tiers?
No — no agency can guarantee approval at any tier, since Vietnamese immigration makes the final decision.
