Vietnam visa for Faroese citizens: Updated e-Visa guide

A Vietnam e-Visa for Faroese citizens is typically valid for up to 90 days and can be issued for single or multiple entries. The validity period starts from the arrival date stated in your application, not from the approval date. You may enter Vietnam on or after this date and must leave before or on the exit date printed on your visa. Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, or a ban on future entry.

Before starting your online application, prepare the following:

• A clear scan of the passport’s biographical page (JPEG format).
• A recent passport-style photo taken within the last 6 months (JPEG format, plain background).
• A valid email address to receive visa notifications and approval.
• A debit/credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal) for payment.
