Vietnam Visa for Citizens of Turkey: Complete Guide

Do Turkish Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?

Yes, for travel to mainland Vietnam. Every Turkish passport holder — including infants traveling on their own passport — needs an approved visa before entering the Vietnamese mainland, regardless of trip purpose.

The Phu Quoc Exception

There's one specific exception worth knowing: if your entire trip is to Phu Quoc Island, arriving on a direct international flight and not traveling to mainland Vietnam, you can enter visa-free for up to 30 days. This doesn't apply if any part of your itinerary includes the mainland — in that case, the standard visa rules apply for your whole trip.

Ways to Get a Vietnam Visa for Mainland Travel

1. Vietnam e-Visa (recommended for most travelers)

• Covers tourism, business, and family visits
• Valid for up to 90 days, single- or multiple-entry
• Standard processing: 3–5 working days
• Apply fully online — approval delivered as a PDF by email

2. Embassy Visa (in person or by mail)

Useful for longer-term visas (work, study, and similar categories) not covered by the e-visa.

• Embassy of Vietnam — Ankara, Turkey

Contact the embassy directly to confirm current requirements and processing times before applying this way.

Why Fees Are Higher for Turkish Passports

Turkish passport applications are treated as a case requiring extra scrutiny during review, so the fees below run 30 USD higher than the standard rate shown for most other nationalities. This isn't a penalty — it reflects the additional handling your application goes through before approval.

Vietnam e-Visa Requirements for Turkish Citizens

• A valid Turkish passport with at least 6 months remaining validity and at least 2 blank visa pages
• A portrait photo with a white background
• A clear scanned copy of your passport's bio page
• A valid email address
• A debit or credit card for online payment
