Vietnam Urgent Visa (2026): Get Your eVisa Approved Fast in 1 Hour

Whether you have three days or three hours before your flight to Vietnam, there is a tier designed around your departure window. This guide explains every option in the 2026 lineup, the exact timezone cutoffs that determine which tier you can still reach, and a decision framework for choosing correctly based on time remaining.

Vietnam eVisa is the only current visa route for most nationalities. The government portal (evisa.gov.vn) processes applications on Vietnamese business days: Monday to Friday, 08:00–11:30 and 13:30–18:00 VNT. Our urgent service works within and around those hours to deliver the fastest legally possible turnaround.

All Vietnam Urgent Visa Tiers — 2026 Pricing

Note: Speed Up tiers are escalations for applications already submitted on the Vietnamese government portal — no second government fee applies. Standard and 3-Day Rush differ: Standard counts working days only; 3-Day Rush counts calendar days including weekends within the window.

Timezone Cutoffs for the 16:30 VNT Deadline

The 2.5-Hour, 1.5-Hour, and Emergency Speed Up tiers all share a 16:30 VNT (Vietnam Time, UTC+7) cutoff on weekdays. Applications submitted after this point shift to the next available working-day batch. Use the table below to find your local equivalent.

The Weekend/Holiday cutoff of 15:00 VNT equals: 08:00 GMT / 09:00 CET / 10:00 CEST / 03:00 EDT / 00:00 PDT / 18:00 AEST.

How to Choose the Right Tier — By Time Remaining

The single most important factor in tier selection is how many hours remain until your flight departs — not until you land. Vietnam immigration checks your eVisa at the departure gate, so the visa must be in your email inbox before you board.

Tier-by-Tier Details

Standard — USD 80 / 3 Working Days

The baseline tier processes your eVisa within three Vietnamese government working days (Monday to Friday). Best for travelers who have planned ahead and have at least five to six calendar days before departure — the buffer accounts for the possibility that your travel date falls near a weekend or Vietnamese public holiday.

3-Day Rush — USD 90 / 3 Calendar Days

Unlike Standard, the 3-Day Rush counts three consecutive calendar days — including weekends within the three-day window. If you apply on a Thursday, delivery targets Sunday. This tier is the better choice when your Standard window would overlap a weekend and push delivery past an acceptable margin.

1-Day — USD 110 / ~24 Hours

Approximately 24 hours from submission confirmation, available on working days. A reliable mid-range tier when you have a day or two to spare but cannot wait three days. Most customers in this window fly the following afternoon or evening.

5-Hour — USD 125 / ~5 Hours (Mon–Fri)

Targets delivery within approximately five hours of confirmed submission, operating within Monday to Friday government hours. Applications must reach our processing desk before 13:00 VNT to complete within the afternoon batch. For travelers with same-day evening flights submitted earlier in the day.

2.5-Hour — USD 155 / ~2.5 Hours (Mon–Fri, cutoff 16:30 VNT)

Targets delivery within approximately 2.5 hours. The hard submission cutoff is 16:30 VNT on weekdays. Any application received after 16:30 VNT cannot be processed within the same afternoon batch and will roll to the next available session. Confirm your local equivalent using the timezone table above before ordering.

1.5-Hour — USD 185 / ~1.5 Hours (Mon–Fri, cutoff 16:30 VNT)

The fastest new-application tier. Targets delivery within approximately 1.5 hours. Same 16:30 VNT cutoff as the 2.5-Hour tier. After submitting your application form, send us a WhatsApp message immediately to flag your order as 1.5-Hour priority. This tier operates Monday to Friday only — it is not available on weekends or Vietnamese public holidays.

Weekend/Holiday — USD 230 / Saturday, Sunday, Public Holidays

The only tier that processes on days the Vietnamese government office is closed. Our team handles a dedicated batch with a strict 15:00 VNT cutoff. If you are flying out on a Sunday morning, you must apply and pay by 15:00 VNT Saturday at the latest. Applications after the cutoff move to the next available slot. Vietnamese public holidays follow the official calendar and are treated the same as weekends for this tier.

Emergency Speed Up — USD 190 (Mon–Fri ONLY)

Speed Up is not a new visa application. It is a direct escalation on an eVisa you have already submitted to the Vietnamese government portal. If your application shows "Processing" or another pending status and your flight is close, we contact the immigration authority directly to prioritize your file.

What you must supply:

• Reference code in format E260705... (shown on your government portal confirmation)
• Email address you registered with on the government portal
• Your inbound flight number to Vietnam

Important: Emergency Speed Up is available Monday to Friday only. Do not reapply from scratch — submitting a duplicate application while a previous one is in "Processing" status triggers a 24–48 hour hold on both applications. Use Speed Up instead.

Weekend Speed Up — USD 210 (Sat/Sun/Holidays)

The same escalation service as Emergency Speed Up, but available on weekends and Vietnamese public holidays. Cutoff is 15:00 VNT. Requires the same three pieces of information: reference code, registration email, and flight number. No second government fee is charged.

What the Service Fee Covers

Every tier includes the following:

• Expert review of your application before submission to catch errors that cause rejection or delay
• Direct submission and follow-up on the Vietnamese government eVisa portal
• Email delivery of the approved eVisa PDF to the address you supply
• WhatsApp support during your processing window
• Validity check guidance — verify your issued eVisa at evisa.gov.vn/e-visa/search
