Vietnamese visa is a kind of travel documents granted by Vietnamese competent authorities, providing permission to travel to and enter Vietnam.
An electronic visa (E-visa) is one of visa types issued to foreigners by Vietnamese Immigration Department via electronic system. Vietnam E-visa is valid for maximum of 30 days, single entry.
How to Apply for Vietnam's e-Visa:
Step 1: Prepare the required materials:
One 4x6 passport photo in .jpg format with a white background, without glasses.
- One photo in .jpg format of your passport data page.
- Passport valid for at least six months.
- Your temporary address in Vietnam and points of entry and exit. (for this purpose we had booked a hotel from www.Booking.com)
- Debit or credit card for payment.
Step 2: Click this link or access https://immigration.gov.vn/ and go to 'E-visa Issuance' then click on the link for 'Outside Vietnam foreigners'.
Step 3: Upload your .jpg images (passport data page and passport photo) and fill out the required fields on the form completely. Submit your form. (You can take a picture from your mobile phone camera with white backgroud.)
Step 4: Pay the e-Visa fee of 25 USD. Copy down the document code provided. (The server accepts only VND the Vietnamese currency, so keep international debit/credit card ready)
Step 5: Within three working days you should receive news of your e-Visa application via email. If not, you can also run a search for your e-Visa at this link. (Even though it is mentioned as 3 working days, it takes between 3 to 8 days for E-visa. Keep this in mind and apply accordingly)
Step 6: Use your document code to locate your e-Visa online. Download and print the e-Visa in two copies for extra safety.
TIP: Travellers with an e-Visa can go directly to immigration counters at their point of entry and do not need to queue at Visa on Arrival counters.
Note - immigration counters are slow and takes a lot of time... The situation may improve as it was peak time of travel and post Covid - 19 first time so many International tourists at airport.
Travel Insurance-
Even though it is not mandetory, it is a wise idea to get your Travel Insurance, considering worst case scenarios, like medical emergency, flights cancellations, accidents, natural calamity and not to forget This Covid Virus waves...
Travel insurance is cheap, and although you hope you never need to use it, you’ll be more at ease knowing you’re covered in case of an emergency.
