It allows you to enter Vietnam for purposes such as tourism, short-term business, or visiting relatives, without needing to visit an embassy or consulate. It is a fully online system that simplifies your entry process.

Important Notes to Remember

• Print Your e-Visa: Always carry a printed paper copy of your e-Visa PDF. You will need to present it during airline check-in and upon arrival in Vietnam.

• Double-Check Your Information: Errors in your name, date of birth, or passport number can render your e-Visa invalid. Check all details carefully as soon as you receive the result. If there is a mistake, you must apply for a new visa and pay the fee again.

• Port of Entry: Although you must declare an intended port of entry, the e-Visa system is often flexible, allowing entry through any of the other approved ports. However, to ensure a smooth journey, we recommend entering through your registered port.

• Proof of Onward Travel: Immigration officers may ask to see your return ticket or a ticket to another country, as well as accommodation bookings. You should have these documents ready.

• Not for Employment: The e-Visa is only for tourism, short-term business, and visiting relatives. To work, study, or reside long-term, you must apply for the appropriate visa type through a sponsoring entity in Vietnam.

We wish you a smooth visa application process and a wonderful trip to Vietnam!
