Vietnam visa policy

Vietnam’s visa policy depends on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and how long you plan to stay. Travelers from around 30 countries can enter Vietnam without a visa for up to 15, 21, or 45 days, depending on their country of origin.

Most other travelers must apply for a visa. One of the most popular options is the Vietnam eVisa, which is valid for up to 90 days and is available as a single or multiple-entry visa. It can be used for tourism, business, and other short-term purposes. The application is entirely online and available to citizens of over 80 countries.

Travelers must apply for a traditional visa through a Vietnamese embassy or consulate for more extended stays or specific purposes such as work, study, investment, or family reunification. These include visa categories like work visas, student visas, investor visas, and family or dependent visas.

All visitors must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of arrival and may be required to show proof of onward travel, accommodation, or financial means. Some visa types also require registration with local authorities once in the country.

Vietnam also offers visas for diplomats, officials, journalists, and travelers attending meetings or conferences. Sometimes, travelers may be granted humanitarian or special-purpose entry atthe government's discretion.

For the most accurate information, travelers should check with a Vietnamese embassy or official immigration source before applying.
