Vietnam eVisa: eligibility, 90-day stay and online application guide

A complete guide to Vietnam’s official eVisa portal, single and multiple entry, the 90-day maximum, required trip data, entry checkpoints and photo uploads.

What this visa or program is

Vietnam’s electronic visa is an online authorization that can be issued for up to 90 days with single or multiple entry. Applicants should use only the official government domain and select an allowed entry and exit checkpoint.

The application combines personal and passport data, proposed travel details, accommodation/contact information and two images: a portrait and the passport biodata page.

Who needs it?

  • Eligible foreign nationals seeking a short visit through the eVisa route.
  • The purpose and permitted activities must match Vietnamese immigration rules.
  • People requiring work or residence authorization need the relevant additional process.

Core eligibility

  • Passport and nationality accepted by the official eVisa system.
  • Accurate personal/passport information and a valid email/contact route.
  • An eligible entry/exit checkpoint and a coherent temporary address and travel plan.
  • Usable portrait and passport-page image files.

How to apply, step by step

  1. Open the official eVisa portal

    Avoid lookalike commercial sites and start the foreigner application on evisa.gov.vn.

  2. Complete personal and trip data

    Match spelling and passport numbers exactly and choose an eligible checkpoint.

  3. Upload both images

    Upload the portrait and passport biodata page in the specified formats.

  4. Pay and keep the code

    The fee is non-refundable. Save the registration code needed to check the result.

  5. Download and verify the eVisa

    Check every field and carry a printed or accessible copy for the selected border checkpoint.

Timing and fees

  • Use the portal’s current fee and processing information. Payment does not guarantee approval and is generally non-refundable.
  • Apply early enough to correct a data error or respond to a request; do not rely on third-party guarantees.

Validity and stay conditions

  • The approved eVisa displays exact validity dates, permitted entries and checkpoints.
  • Do not enter before or remain after the dates, and comply with the authorized purpose.

Photo Pass prepares the image in your browser. It does not submit the visa application or guarantee acceptance by an authority.

Common refusal or delay risks

  • A passport number, name or date entered differently from the passport.
  • Choosing an incorrect or unavailable checkpoint.
  • Poor portrait/passport scan, glasses in the portrait or an oversized file.
  • Payment problems or an application purpose needing another authorization.

After approval

  • Compare the eVisa character by character with the passport.
  • Use an approved checkpoint and carry the same passport and eVisa copy.
  • Complete accommodation/immigration formalities and observe the validity dates.
