Vietnam eVisa questions, answered.
Clear general guidance for planning your application and travel.
Vietnam eVisa
What is a Vietnam eVisa?
A Vietnam eVisa is an electronic travel document issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department. The official portal states that it may be valid for up to 90 days and issued for single or multiple entry.
Who can apply for a Vietnam eVisa?
Foreign travelers outside Vietnam who hold an eligible valid passport and meet current entry conditions may apply. Confirm eligibility on the official eVisa portal before submitting.
How long can I stay in Vietnam?
The permitted validity is shown on the issued eVisa and may be up to 90 days. The traveler must enter and leave within the dates and conditions printed on that document.
Can I enter Vietnam more than once?
Only a multiple-entry eVisa permits repeated entries during its validity. A single-entry eVisa is normally used up after the traveler exits Vietnam.
Requirements
What passport validity do I need?
You need a valid passport and should check the current official validity conditions for the complete journey. Airline requirements can also apply.
What photo should I upload?
Use a recent, front-facing portrait on a plain white background with no hat or glasses, following the format and file-size instructions shown on the current official form.
Which entry port should I select?
Choose the approved airport, land border or seaport that matches the genuine arrival itinerary. Confirm its formal name before submitting.
Do children need a separate visa?
A child with a separate passport normally needs an application connected with that passport. The official form also provides specific handling for eligible children under 14 sharing a passport.
Processing and problems
How long does processing take?
The official application instructions describe a standard processing period in working days, but incomplete information, corrections, holidays or additional review can extend it. Timing is not guaranteed.
Why is my eVisa still pending?
The case may still be under review or affected by volume, holidays, unclear documents or a requested correction. Recheck the official status using the exact registration details.
What if my eVisa is rejected?
Review passport details, images, eligibility and travel information before considering a new application. Government fees are generally non-refundable when a visa is not granted.
Can I correct a passport number?
Correction options may be limited after submission. Follow the instructions linked to the application record and never edit an issued eVisa document yourself.
