Vietnam visa

Applied for online. You upload documents, pay the fee, and the approval arrives by email — you print it and carry it. No embassy visit, no passport submission.

Read this first

Vietnam issues a 90-day e-visa to Indian nationals, single or multiple entry, applied for on the official immigration portal. The multiple-entry version costs roughly double. Two practical traps: dozens of commercial lookalike sites charge three to four times the government fee, and the entry port you name on the form is enforced — if you write Hanoi and land in Da Nang you can be refused. Fee shown includes a normal service charge and is indicative.

What actually happens

The processing timeline

  1. 1

    Day 0

    Documents in

    You send us the checklist below. We check every page before anything is submitted — a rejected file usually fails on formatting, not on merit.

  2. 2

    Day 1

    Filed on the government portal

    The application, the fee and the uploads go in together. You get the reference number the same day.

  3. 3

    Days 1–5

    Under assessment

    Working days only, and the destination’s public holidays do not count. Peak season adds to this — plan for longer, not shorter.

  4. 4

    Day 5

    Outcome to you

    The approval reaches you by email. Print two copies and keep one in your hand baggage.

Documents you need

Work through this list before you send anything. Most refusals are a missing page or a mismatched name, not a rejected traveller.

Common questions

Is the Vietnam fee shown here guaranteed?

No. It is a researched, current estimate. Consular fees move with exchange rates and with policy notices published at short notice, and Dreamvaca confirms the exact payable amount in writing before filing.

How long does the Vietnam visa take?

5 working days is the current published guide. Add a week of buffer, and two in peak season.

How long can I stay?

Up to 90 days, on a single entry. The permitted stay is what the immigration stamp says, not what your ticket says.
