Vietnam e-visa requirements

Who can apply for a Vietnam e-visa?

Vietnam makes its e-visa system available to citizens of all countries and territories. Each applicant must meet the entry conditions and hold an acceptable, valid travel document. Check which visa or exemption fits your passport, travel purpose and planned stay before choosing your application package.

Documents and details to prepare

• A readable colour scan of your passport biographical page, including all edges and the machine-readable lines.
• A recent, front-facing portrait on a white background without glasses. Follow the application’s format and upload instructions.
• Your full name, date of birth, nationality and passport number, entered exactly as requested on the form.
• Intended arrival and departure dates, the entry point you plan to use and your accommodation details in Vietnam.
• A working email address you can access throughout the application and a suitable payment method.

Check passport validity before booking

Prepare a passport valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay and review the requirements for your travel document. If you renew your passport, confirm which passport will be used for the visa before submitting your application.

Avoid unreadable scans and mismatched names

Use an evenly lit image without fingers, glare or cropped details. Open the file at normal size to confirm every character is legible. Compare the completed form with the passport line by line, especially surname order, dates and characters that resemble each other, such as 0 and O.

Your final document check

Keep copies of the exact files you submit. If your dates, passport or travel purpose change, review the application again before payment. A checklist helps prevent avoidable mistakes; it does not replace the Immigration Department’s assessment.
