Vietnam Visa: What You Need to Know

Vietnam has made entry much easier in recent years. Most nationalities can now apply for a 90-day e-visa entirely online — no embassy visit required.

The e-visa

Apply through the official government portal, upload a passport photo and scan, pay the fee, and receive your visa by email in a few working days. Print it and carry it with you. Some nationalities also enjoy short visa-free stays — check your country's current rules.

Practical tips

Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Double-check your entry point matches the one on your e-visa. And apply at least a week or two ahead to be safe.
