New website for Vietnam e-visa- Vietnam visa update

From 08:00 on 11/11/2024 (GMT+7), applicants who want to apply for Vietnam e-visa can only apply for Vietnam electronic visas (e-visas) through a new web portal https://evisa.gov.vn/. It includes additional crucial information and has an easier-to-use interface. Let’s get into the new website and we will tell you everything you need to know to get your Vietnam E-visa smoothly.

One of the most noticeable changes is the new domain name. The previous website had a relatively long and cumbersome URL that could easily be forgotten or mistyped. With the new domain https://evisa.gov.vn/, the website is now more concise, intuitive, and user-friendly.

The new address is designed to be easier for applicants to recall, especially for international visitors who might need to access the site multiple times during the Vietnam e-visa application process.

One of the major additions to the new site is the Instruction section. This part offers a step-by-step guide to help applicants understand the entire Vietnam e-visa application process, from start to finish. It includes detailed explanations of entering visa declaration information, paying application, or searching application.

Besides, it also provides notices about the obligations of foreigners and types of passports that cannot be issued with visa. All of these instructions will significantly help foreign visitors during the Vietnam e-visa filling process.

The new website has been enhanced and updated, featuring a Frequently Asked Questions section in both English and Vietnamese, which makes it more user-friendly for international visitors.

Here, applicants can find answers to common queries, such as eligibility requirements, processing times, and payment methods. This section is particularly useful for addressing concerns about common mistakes, and helping users avoid delays or rejection of their Vietnam e-visa applications.

You can contact Vietnam Immigration Department via email or the hotline listed below for direct support from the Immigration Department.
