How to Apply for a Vietnam E-Visa (Step-by-Step 2025)

Applying for your Vietnam e-visa is a straightforward process, but getting every detail right is crucial for a successful application. This guide will walk you through each step, complete with pro tips and alerts for common mistakes.

Step 1: Prepare Your Required Documents

Before you begin, gather these three essential items:

1. A Scanned Copy of Your Passport Bio Page:

   • Must be clear, with all four corners visible.

   • Format: .jpg

   • Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended entry date.

2. A Digital Passport-Style Photo:

   • Size: 4×6 cm (or similar ratio).

   • Background: Must be a plain white background.

   • You should not be wearing glasses.

   • Format: .jpg

3. A Valid Credit/Debit Card for online payment.

⚠️ Mistake Alert: The number one reason for e-visa rejection is a poor-quality photo or passport scan. Ensure your images are clear, bright, and meet the official requirements. Learn more here: [E-Visa Photo Requirements].

Step 2: Fill Out the Online Application Form

Navigate to a trusted application portal like [APPLY NOW]. You will need to accurately fill in the following information:

• Personal Details: Full name, date of birth, gender, nationality.

• Passport Information: Passport number, type, and expiry date.

• Contact Information: Your email address (double-check for typos!) and phone number.

• Travel Information: Intended date of entry, length of stay, purpose of visit, and intended temporary address in Vietnam (your first hotel address is fine).

• Entry & Exit Points: Select the specific airport, land border, or seaport you will use.

⚠️ Mistake Alert: Your full name must match your passport exactly, including all middle names. “John Smith” is different from “John Michael Smith”. An incorrect name can lead to denial of entry at the border.

Step 3: Upload Your Documents and Pay the Fee

You will now be prompted to upload the passport photo and the scanned passport page you prepared in Step 1.

After uploading, you will proceed to the payment gateway. The standard government fee is typically:

• $25 USD for a single-entry visa.

• $50 USD for a multiple-entry visa.

Please note that this fee is non-refundable, even if your application is denied.

Step 4: Receive Your Registration Code

Once your application and payment are submitted, you will receive a registration code (e.g., E24xxxxxxxxxxxxxx). SAVE THIS CODE! You will need it to check the status of your application.

Step 5: Check Your Status and Download the E-Visa

Processing typically takes 3-5 working days. You must manually check your application status using your registration code.

Once approved, you will be able to download your e-visa as a PDF file.

Pro Tip: The official system does not send an email notification upon approval. If you apply through [APPLY NOW], we monitor your application and email you the approved visa as soon as it’s released.

Step 6: Print Your E-Visa and Travel!

You must print a physical copy of your e-visa. Immigration officers will require this printed document upon arrival. We recommend printing two copies—one for your carry-on and one in your checked luggage.

In a Hurry? Use an Urgent Service

If your flight is less than 5 days away, the standard process is risky. Consider using an urgent service to get your visa in 1-2 working days or even within a few hours.
