Vietnam Visa from Singapore: A Guide for Foreign Residents and Travelers

Who Actually Needs a Visa Here

If you hold a Singaporean passport, you can skip this — you're visa-exempt for stays of up to 30 days. This page is for the large number of foreign nationals who live in Singapore, work there, or are simply passing through Changi on their way to Vietnam, and whose own nationality does require a visa.

A Common Mix-Up Worth Avoiding

It's an easy mistake: living in Singapore, surrounded by Singaporean colleagues who mention they never needed a visa for their last Vietnam trip, and assuming the same applies to you. It doesn't — visa requirements are based on your nationality, not your residence or where you're flying from. An expat with, say, a South African or Brazilian passport living in Singapore still needs to check their own passport's requirement and apply accordingly, regardless of how long they've lived in Singapore or how routine the trip feels to their Singaporean coworkers.

Applying for a Vietnam e-Visa from Singapore

The process is identical to applying from anywhere else — your location in Singapore doesn't change anything about the application itself.

• Apply fully online at evisa.gov.vn, or through an agency for support and urgent processing
• Valid for up to 90 days, single- or multiple-entry
• Standard processing: 3–5 working days
• Approval delivered by email as a PDF

The Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore

The Embassy of Vietnam is located at 10 Leedon Park, Singapore 267887. This route is mainly relevant for visa categories the e-visa doesn't cover — longer-term work or study visas, for example. For a standard trip, applying online is faster and doesn't require an in-person visit.

Vietnam Visa Fees

Add 25 USD for a multiple-entry visa. See the full 9-tier list on our urgent Vietnam visa service page.

Flying From Changi Without a Visa Yet?

Airline staff at Changi check visa approval for your final destination before you board, so this needs to be sorted before you get to the gate, not after. If your flight is soon and your e-visa isn't ready, urgent processing can help — see our urgent Vietnam visa service page for the full range of options, and our guide on no visa, no boarding: strict airline rules you need to know for why this matters.

Using Singapore for a Vietnam Visa Run

Singapore is also a common stop for travelers doing a Vietnam visa run — exiting Vietnam, applying for a fresh e-visa from Singapore, then flying back in. See our how to do a Vietnam visa run via neighboring countries guide for the full process.

Our Refund Guarantee

Whether you're applying with a week to spare or a few hours before boarding at Changi, this commitment holds — if we don't deliver within the tier you chose, the processing fee is refunded.

Why Use an Agency Instead of Applying Directly

• Document review before submission, catching photo or scan issues before they cause a delay
• Urgent processing options not available through the government portal directly
• 24/7 support, useful if you're applying outside Vietnamese business hours
• Transparent, all-inclusive pricing — the government fee is already included
• Refund if the committed timeframe isn't met, as described above
