Posted By : Threeland Travel / Visa, Flight To Vietnam & Indochina

Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country that many travelers like visiting. Travel to this lovely nation without having to stand in enormous queues for hours simply to complete the visa process. Thanks to Vietnam Immigration, you may now get an online visa for Vietnam, as well as a visa on arrival using an online E-visa process.

Applying for a visa to Vietnam is a simple process that may be completed online. Vietnam Immigration has created an electronic visa (E-visa) system that allows anyone to complete the visa application process without having to visit the embassy. E-visa applications are accepted from around 46 countries. Before commencing the online visa application procedure, refer to the list of 46 countries on the Vietnam E-visa website. If your nation is not on the list, you can apply for a visa upon arrival or visit the embassy.

Eligibility Criteria for Online Visa in Vietnam

•Foreigners travelling from nations on the Vietnamese government's list. 
•People carrying a valid passport (valid for at least 6 months after arrival in Vietnam).
•Meeting the immigration rules outlined in Article 21 regarding foreigners' admission, departure, transit, and residence in Vietnam.

The Validity of an E-visa in Vietnam: 30 day, single entry, non-extendable visa.

The process of obtaining a Vietnam visa online

1. Visit the official website for E-visa applications approved by the Immigration of Vietnam. Visit https://vietnamvisa.gov.vn/apply-online/.

3. After filling out the form, pay the E-visa fees online using a credit card.

4. The approval procedure takes 3-5 business days following payment of the fee. The status of the application may be verified using the registration code that the applicant gets after payment.

5. Once the E-visa has been approved, a printout of the permission must be transported to Vietnam, together with other relevant papers such as the passport.

 

6. When you arrive at one of Vietnam's entrance ports, the immigration official will review your permission letter and passport before stamping it. The passport must be valid for more than six months. The officer may also request passport-sized pictures, hotel reservations, and other documents, either to be filed or just checked.
