Vietnam e Visa 2025: Complete Guide for Foreign Travelers

Planning a trip to Vietnam? The Vietnam e Visa is now the simplest and most convenient way to enter this stunning Southeast Asian country – whether you’re coming for travel, business, or visiting family.

Since the expansion in 2023, Vietnam’s eVisa policy now applies to all countries and territories, allowing up to 90 days of stay with both single and multiple entries.

This guide gives you everything you need to know before applying – from eligibility and requirements to cost, processing time, and step-by-step application.

Let’s begin!

What is Vietnam eVisa?

A Vietnam e-Visa is an official electronic travel authorization issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department. It allows foreign travelers to enter and stay in Vietnam for up to 90 days for purposes such as:

• Tourism
• Business
• Visiting family or friends

The entire process is done online – no need to visit an embassy or queue for a visa on arrival.

What Does a Vietnam eVisa Look Like?

Once approved, your Vietnam eVisa will be a PDF document that you download and print.

It contains:

• Your personal details (Full name, Date of birth, Nationality, Passport Number, Passport’s Expiry date)
• Visa type (single or multiple entry)
• Validity period (start and end date)
• Visa code and official electronic stamp from Vietnam Immigration Department

Note:

• The evisa does not carry a red stamp of the Vietnam Government authority as it is issued online.
• The latest Vietnam e visa version does not show its holder’s gender which has been declared in the application form and already stored in the Vietnam Immigration Department’s database system. So in case your airlines asks for your gender in the visa, you can explain the fact to them.

Here is a sample Vietnam e-visa (the latest version)

💡 Tip: Always print at least one copy of your eVisa and keep it with your passport — you’ll need to show it at check-in and immigration counters.
