NEW VIETNAM VISA POLICY OVERVIEW

In an effort to boost tourism and facilitate travel to Vietnam, the Vietnamese government has introduced a new visa policy that eliminates the need for pre-approval and simplifies the application process.

    2. Electronic Visa (E-Visa): The E-Visa will be available for citizens of countries not eligible for visa exemptions. The application process will be fully online, and applicants will receive an electronic visa approval letter within 3 working days.
    3. Visa on Arrival (VOA): Travelers who are eligible for VOA will be able to apply for a visa at one of Vietnam’s 28 designated airports or borders. The application process will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
