Before you start clicking, make sure you have these digital files ready. The Vietnam Immigration Department is strict about quality, so ensure your uploads are clear:
Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date.
Bio-page Scan: A high-quality .jpg of your passport’s personal information page.
Portrait Photo: A recent 4x6 photo (white background, looking straight ahead, no glasses).
Payment Method: A credit/debit card or PayPal account authorized for international transactions.
Trip Details: Your intended entry/exit dates and the specific ports (airports or land borders) you'll be using.
Accommodation: The address of your first hotel or homestay in Vietnam.
According to the official regulations of the Vietnam Immigration, the evisa fee will be:
USD 25 - Single entry (up to 90 days)
USD 50 - Multiple entry (up to 90 days)
Standard processing time: 3-5 working days
(Processing may take longer during Vietnamese public holidays.)
Note: The government fee is non-refundable, even if your application is refused.

You can apply directly through the government's official portal: https://evisa.gov.vn/.

Note: The government fee is non-refundable, even if your application is rejected due to a typo or a blurry photo.

1. Can I extend my stay while in Vietnam?
Currently, 90-day e-visa extensions are not processed inside the country. You would need to do a "visa run" (exit and re-enter) to stay longer.
2. What if I made a mistake on my application?
If the visa is already issued, it cannot be edited. You must apply for a new one. This is why many choose our assisted service to avoid double-paying!
3. Can I change my entry port after my e-visa is issued?
You can enter through any of the 42 designated international gates (airports, land borders, or seaports), regardless of the port listed on your application, provided that the port accepts e-visas.
4. Is travel insurance required?
While no longer a mandatory entry requirement post-pandemic, having travel insurance with at least $10,000 coverage is strongly advised to handle any unexpected medical costs during your trip.
------------------------------
To minimize last-minute issues or unexpected delays, it is recommended to apply for your Vietnam eVisa at least 7–10 days before your departure date. Whether you apply through the official portal or use a support service, submitting accurate information is essential for a smooth approval process.
