What is the Vietnam e-Visa? (90-day visa online)
The e-Visa is an electronic visa issued online by Vietnam's Immigration Department. Since 15 August 2023 it is open to citizens of every country and territory, valid for up to 90 days from your declared entry date, with single or multiple entries. You receive it as a PDF — print it or keep it on your phone and show it with your passport on arrival. No embassy visit, no stamp needed in advance.
