Travelers who compared government portal vs agency-assisted — what they paid and why.
Government eVisa Fee — What You Pay on evisa.gov.vn
The Vietnamese government charges a flat fee for eVisa processing, paid directly on evisa.gov.vn at the time of application. This fee does not vary by nationality, purpose of travel, or time of year. It is the same whether you apply in January during peak Tet season or in August.
Entry type | 30-day validity | 90-day validity | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
Single entry | USD 25 | USD 25 | Enter Vietnam once. Exit and re-enter requires a new eVisa. |
Multiple entry | USD 50 | USD 50 | Enter and re-enter Vietnam multiple times within validity period. |
Two things most travelers get wrong: first, the 30-day and 90-day options cost exactly the same — choose 90 days unless you have a specific reason not to, since it is the same price and gives more flexibility. Second, single-entry means exactly that: if your itinerary includes a side trip to Cambodia, Laos, or Thailand with a return to Vietnam, you need multiple-entry or a separate eVisa for the return leg.
Agency-Assisted Processing — All-In Prices Including Government Fee
VietnamVisaEasy's pricing is all-inclusive: the government fee of USD 25 (or USD 50 for multiple entry) is built in. You do not pay it separately. The service fee covers document and photo checking before submission, priority processing coordination with Vietnamese immigration for urgent tiers, error correction if your application comes back with Amendment Required, and 24/7 WhatsApp support including Boarding Letter issuance for check-in emergencies.
Processing tier | Single entry | Multiple entry | Speed Up* | Typical for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
3-Day | $90 | $115 | $65 | Flight 3+ business days away — best value |
2-Day | $105 | $130 | $80 | Flight in 2 business days |
1-Day | $110 | $135 | $85 | Flight tomorrow |
5-Hour | $125 | $150 | $100 | Same-day flight, 5+ hours to check-in |
2.5-Hour | $155 | $180 | $130 | Check-in open in 2.5–5 hours |
1-Hour | $185 | $210 | $160 | At airport, check-in imminent |
Weekend | $230 | $255 | $210 | Saturday or Sunday flight |
*Speed Up price applies when already applied on evisa.gov.vn and $25 government fee already paid. Multiple entry column = single entry price + $25.
What Actually Determines the Cost of Your Vietnam Visa
Four variables determine what you end up paying. Understanding them helps you pick the right option without overpaying — and without under-buying a tier that leaves you scrambling at the airport.
How much time you have. This is the biggest cost driver. If your flight is more than 5 business days away, the government portal at USD 25 is perfectly adequate and there is no reason to pay more. If your flight is in 24 hours, the 1-Day tier at USD 110 is the minimum safe option, and if it is within the same working day, you are looking at USD 125 to USD 185 depending on hours remaining.
Single vs multiple entry. If your Vietnam trip is a simple in-and-out — you arrive, stay, leave — single entry at USD 25 is correct. If your itinerary involves going to another country mid-trip and coming back to Vietnam, or if you plan two separate Vietnam visits within a short period, multiple entry at USD 50 is worth the extra USD 25.
30 days vs 90 days. The government charges the same for both. There is no cost reason to choose 30 days over 90 days. The only reason someone would choose 30 days is if their visa agent fills it in incorrectly — which is a reason to double-check your application before submitting.
Whether your application is already registered. If you already applied on evisa.gov.vn and paid USD 25, Speed Up costs USD 25 less than a new application because the government fee is not charged again. A common and costly mistake is reapplying and paying USD 25 a second time while creating a deduplication hold that delays both applications.
Vietnam Visa Cost by Nationality
The government fee is the same for all nationalities that require a visa. The visa-exemption list is what differs — some nationalities pay nothing because they are exempt from the visa requirement entirely.
Nationality | Visa required? | Govt fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
US citizens | eVisa required | USD 25 | Every trip. No exemption for short stays. |
Australian citizens | eVisa required | USD 25 | Every trip. No visa on arrival. |
Canadian citizens | eVisa required | USD 25 | Every trip. |
UK / British citizens | Visa-exempt | Free | 45 days. No application needed. |
European (Schengen) | Varies by country | USD 25 or free | Some EU nationalities are exempt. Check your passport. |
All others requiring eVisa | eVisa required | USD 25 | Same fee regardless of nationality. |

Common Questions About Vietnam Visa Cost
How much does a Vietnam visa cost in 2026?
The government fee on evisa.gov.vn is USD 25 for single entry and USD 50 for multiple entry, regardless of whether you choose 30-day or 90-day validity. Agency-assisted processing through VietnamVisaEasy starts at USD 90 for 3-Day service and goes to USD 185 for 1-Hour — all prices include the USD 25 government fee, so you do not pay it separately.
Is 30-day Vietnam eVisa cheaper than 90-day?
No. Both 30-day and 90-day Vietnam eVisa cost exactly the same — USD 25 single entry or USD 50 multiple entry. The validity period is a choice you make during the application, not a pricing variable. There is no financial reason to choose 30 days over 90 days.
What does the agency fee cover that the government fee does not?
The USD 25 government fee covers the immigration authority's processing of your application — nothing else. The agency service fee covers: verification of your documents and photo before submission (reducing Amendment Required rejections), priority coordination for urgent tiers, free error correction if the application is flagged, 24/7 WhatsApp support, and Boarding Letter issuance for check-in emergencies when the eVisa is still processing.
Why does Speed Up cost less than a new application?
When you already applied on evisa.gov.vn, your USD 25 government fee is already registered in the Vietnamese immigration system. Speed Up escalates that existing application — no new government fee is charged. The USD 25 saving is passed on: 3-Day Speed Up is USD 65 instead of USD 90, 1-Hour is USD 160 instead of USD 185. The mistake travelers make is reapplying and paying USD 25 a second time, which triggers a deduplication hold and makes the delay worse.
Do UK citizens need to pay for a Vietnam visa?
No. British passport holders are visa-exempt for Vietnam for stays up to 45 days. No eVisa, no government fee, no agency fee. They present their British passport at check-in and Vietnam immigration. This is one of the most common misunderstandings — UK nationals should never be included in eVisa requirement lists for Vietnam.
Is there a fee difference between single-entry and multiple-entry Vietnam eVisa?
Yes — USD 25 more for multiple entry. Government portal: single USD 25, multiple USD 50. VietnamVisaEasy all-inclusive: single-entry tiers from USD 90, multiple-entry tiers from USD 115 (3-Day). The additional USD 25 is worth it if you plan to leave Vietnam and return within the same trip — for example a Vietnam–Cambodia–Vietnam route, or two separate Vietnam legs of a longer Southeast Asia itinerary.
