Visa-Free Entry to Vietnam
Citizens of certain countries can enter Vietnam visa-free for a short period (typically from 14 to 45 days, depending on nationality) to boost tourism. This right is regulated by specific government resolutions.
To use visa-free entry, travelers must present a passport valid for at least 6 months and an onward ticket at the border. The immigration officer will verify that the exit date falls within the permitted period and stamp the passport accordingly.
❗Overstaying the visa-free period results in fines and potential entry bans.
90-Day Electronic Visa (eVisa)
For those planning a longer stay or from countries not eligible for visa-free entry, a tourist visa is required. The most convenient option is the 90-day Electronic Visa (eVisa). This visa allows a single or multiple-entry stay of up to 90 days (3 months) in Vietnam. The eVisa is a PDF file with a unique code — no physical sticker or stamp is placed in your passport. Applicants do not need to visit an embassy in person; the entire process is completed online through the government's official portal.
The standard processing time for a Vietnam eVisa is up to 15 business days, though it is often issued within 7–10 business days. You must print the approved eVisa and present it along with your passport at any international air, land, or sea checkpoint in Vietnam.

Important Details
The Vietnam eVisa is valid for 90 days. The start date of the visa is chosen by the traveler—it is the intended entry date specified in the application. You cannot cross the border before this date, but you may enter later. This is a key point to consider when planning your trip.
The eVisa cannot be extended. Travelers must leave Vietnam by the expiry date stated on the visa. To stay longer, you must exit the country, apply for a new visa, wait for approval, and re-enter (a "visa run"), or, if eligible, re-enter using the visa-free option (a "border run").
