How far in advance should I apply for a Vietnamese evisa?

You should apply for a Vietnam electronic visa no less than 07 days before your trip to Vietnam. The processing time for an eVisa is typically within 03 business days. However, the Vietnam Immigration Services team suggests customers begin the visa application process as soon as possible in case of any unforeseen circumstances. 

The entire process is straightforward and takes US citizens no longer than 20 minutes to complete. Following the steps below so that you can successfully apply for an electronic visa for Vietnam:

• Step 1: Provide visa details (number of visas, purpose of visit, port of arrival, processing time), and personal contact ( full name, gender, date of birth, passport number, and arrival and departure dates) on the safe online application for a Vietnam visa.
• Step 2: Verify that your data is accurate and complete by checking it again. Use an electronic payment transfer to pay the electronic visa fee (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and PayPal).
• Step 3: Obtain an email confirming the submission of your visa application. Before being emailed to you, the e-Visa will be processed and approved online.
• Step 4: Download and print your Vietnam eVisa when you receive it through email. When you arrive, have your passport stamped with your visa.
