How the official process works

1

Start only from the official Vietnam e-Visa portal and select the correct visa route for your nationality.

2

Complete the online application carefully, including passport details, temporary address, and intended point of entry.

3

Upload the required passport page and photo, then pay the official fee only on the government portal.

4

Wait for approval, download the e-Visa from the same official system, and carry a printed or saved copy when you travel.

Planning notes before you submit

Vietnam e-Visa approvals are linked to the details submitted, so even small spelling or passport-number mistakes can create issues.

Your approved entry checkpoint should match how you actually plan to enter Vietnam.

Keep both a digital and printed copy of the issued e-Visa for airline and immigration checks.
