The fastest is an emergency Vietnam e-Visa in about 60 minutes on working days. Urgent options deliver in 4 hours, 1, 2 or 3 working days. The official government e-Visa normally takes 3–5 working days, without a guaranteed date.
If your flight is within a week, choose a service with a guaranteed delivery time rather than waiting on the standard queue.
Yes. The emergency service issues your Vietnam e-Visa within 60 minutes, Monday to Friday, subject to eligibility. It costs US$224 for single entry or US$249 for multiple entry, including the government fee.
Send your passport scan and photo as early in the working day as possible. Apply for the 1-hour visa.
Yes. On working days you can get a Vietnam e-Visa the same day with 4-hour processing (US$104) or within 60 minutes with emergency processing (US$224).
The 4-hour service delivers by 12:00 or 18:00 Vietnam time, depending on when you apply.
Yes. The weekend emergency service issues Vietnam e-Visas on Saturday and Sunday, with results by 18:00 Vietnam time each day. It costs US$224 (single entry) or US$249 (multiple entry).
Standard and urgent processing pause at weekends, so for a Saturday, Sunday or Monday-morning flight the weekend service is the reliable option. Apply for a weekend visa.
Usually yes, through the emergency service, with results at 18:00 Vietnam time — but message the team first. Government processing can pause during Vietnamese public holidays, especially the Lunar New Year (Tết).
If you travel around Tết, apply at least two weeks before the holiday starts. Check holiday availability on WhatsApp.
An urgent Vietnam e-Visa costs from US$64 (3 days) to US$104 (4 hours), and an emergency 1-hour or weekend visa costs US$224 — all including the US$25 government fee.

Fill in the online form, choose "Emergency", upload your passport and photo, and pay by card — the e-Visa is emailed to you, usually within 60 minutes on working days.
Only two files: a clear scan of your passport data page and a recent passport-style photo, plus your arrival date and entry point. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from entry.
A blurry scan or a photo with glasses is the most common cause of delay. See photo & passport rules.
Message the team on WhatsApp straight away with your passport and photo — on working days an emergency e-Visa can be issued within 60 minutes so you can still check in.
Tell them your flight time so they can confirm whether the visa can arrive before check-in closes. WhatsApp +84 343 470 507.
No, unless your nationality is visa-exempt. Airlines check for an approved e-Visa or a visa-on-arrival approval letter before you board.
Visa on arrival still needs an approval letter issued in advance and only works at airports. Compare e-Visa and visa on arrival · Check visa-free countries.
You can ask for your pending application to be expedited instead of starting again. Send your application code on WhatsApp and the team will tell you how quickly it can be pushed through.
If expediting isn't possible in time, a new emergency application is the backup.
Often yes. The team can check why it was rejected, correct the problem and re-file urgently, or arrange a visa-on-arrival approval letter if an e-Visa isn't possible.
Rejections usually come from a wrong detail, a poor photo or a hard-to-approve nationality.
Yes, but a wrong name, date of birth or passport number usually means a new e-Visa, which can be issued urgently. A visa with wrong details can be refused at the border.
Message the team with a photo of the error and your flight date.
Every nationality can apply, but passports from Turkey, Egypt, Mauritius and Sri Lanka go through extra checks, take longer and cost more.
For these passports, message before applying so the team can confirm a realistic time. Check your nationality.
