What to know about Vietnam

What are the different Vietnam visa options listed here?

Our information lists the standard e-visa (Regular), prioritised options with shorter indicative times and higher listed fees (Superfast and 2 hours), and an approval letter. Each is listed with its own fee and time above.

What is the government fee for the Vietnam e-visa?

Our information shows an official fee of USD 25 (โ‚น2,500) for the Regular e-visa, paid directly on the official portal. Other options are listed with their own fees. Fees are set by the authorities and can change, so confirm on the official site.

How long does processing take?

Our information lists 4 business days for Regular, 1 business day for Superfast, 2 working hours for the 2-hour option and the same day for the visa letter. Times are set by the authorities and can vary. We cannot guarantee any processing time.

How many days can I stay on the e-visa?

The Regular single-entry e-visa allows a stay of up to 90 days. Other options list a stay of up to 30 days. Check the details of the option you choose.

Can I extend my Vietnam visa from inside the country?

Our information indicates a single extension of up to 30 days can be requested at a provincial immigration office before the current visa expires. Overstaying without an extension can lead to fines and complications with future visas. Confirm the current rules with the immigration authority.

Is a return ticket mandatory?

It is not a strict form requirement, but immigration officers at entry may ask for proof of onward travel. Carrying a confirmed return booking helps avoid problems at the border.
