Direct Answer
After submitting, your application goes into review — standard is 3–5 Vietnamese working days. You'll get a PDF by email once approved. At the airport, Vietnamese immigration checks your passport, your approved e-visa, and that your entry port matches your actual arrival — plus, since 2026, a separate free Pre-Arrival Declaration completed online before landing.

Stage 1: Right After You Submit
Your application enters the review queue. Standard processing is 3–5 Vietnamese working days — a day that feels fully used up in Toronto or Vancouver may only count as a partial working day in Vietnam, given the time difference. See our full Canada time zone guide if you want to convert your real deadline accurately.
You'll receive a confirmation once submitted — if you don't see one within 30 minutes, check spam before assuming something's wrong. See our full payment confirmation timeline guide.
Stage 2: While You're Waiting
Check status anytime using your registration code, whether you applied directly or through an agency:
- Visit evisa.gov.vn's status check page
- Enter your registration code, registered email, and date of birth
If it's still "Processing" past 5–6 Vietnamese working days: don't submit a second application — a duplicate can create a confusing record and delay both. Request a status check or priority speed-up on the existing file instead. See our full still-processing guide.

Stage 3: Approval Arrives
Your e-visa arrives by email as a PDF. Two things worth doing right away:
- Save a second copy — a photo in your phone's gallery, plus an email you can open offline — in case anything happens to your printed copy later. See our full lost/damaged visa guide
- Double-check every detail against your passport now, while it's still easy to fix, rather than at the airport
Stage 4: Before You Fly
New in 2026: a separate, free Pre-Arrival Declaration is also required for every foreign traveler, completed online before landing — this is in addition to your visa, not instead of it. See our full Pre-Arrival Declaration guide.
Stage 5: At Vietnamese Immigration
What's actually checked on arrival:
| Passport | Matching the details on your approved e-visa |
| e-Visa | Printed or shown on your phone |
| Entry port | Must match where you're actually landing |
If Something Goes Wrong Along the Way
Most issues, at any stage, trace back to a specific, fixable detail — not a fundamental problem with your eligibility:
- Delayed: usually resolved with a status check and priority escalation, not a new application
- Rejected: almost always one specific, correctable issue — see our full guide to fixing wrong information
- Check-in issue: contact support immediately with your registration code
