About the Vietnam visa

Vietnam stretches from Hanoi and Ha Long Bay in the north to Hoi An and Da Nang in the centre and Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta in the south. Indian passport holders can apply for a Vietnamese e-Visa online, usually within about 6 working days.

The e-Visa allows stays of up to 90 days and can be issued for single or multiple entry. It is accepted at all international airports and many land and sea checkpoints.

  • Your visit is short-term, such as tourism, a family visit or business meetings. Work, study and residence in Vietnam need a different visa.

  • Photograph: Recent passport-size colour photo on a plain white background, as a digital file.

How long can Indians stay in Vietnam on an e-Visa?

Up to 90 days, on a single or multiple-entry e-Visa.

Should I choose single or multiple entry for Vietnam?

How long does the Vietnam visa take?

Usually ~6 working days once a complete application is submitted. It can take longer during busy periods or if extra checks are needed, so do not leave it to the last minute.

Is the Vietnam visa fee refunded if the application is refused?

Can VisaAdvisory guarantee my Vietnam visa?

No. The decision rests with the authorities of Vietnam. We help you submit a complete and accurate application, which avoids the most common causes of delays and refusals.
