Yes, you can use a Vietnam e-Visa for purposes other than business travel. While it is commonly used for tourism, it can also be used for various other purposes, including visiting family and friends, attending conferences, or participating in cultural events. The Vietnam e-Visa is a versatile travel document that allows for a range of short-term activities in the country. Here are some common purposes for which you can use a Vietnam e-Visa:

• Tourism: The Vietnam e-Visa is widely used by tourists to explore the country's natural beauty, historical sites, and cultural attractions.

• Visiting Family and Friends: If you have family or friends residing in Vietnam, you can use the e-Visa to visit them for a short period.

• Attending Conferences and Events: Travelers attending conferences, seminars, workshops, or cultural events in Vietnam can apply for and use the e-Visa for this purpose.

• Sightseeing and Exploration: The e-Visa allows you to explore different regions of Vietnam, including its cities, countryside, and coastal areas.

• Transit: If you have a layover in Vietnam and wish to leave the airport to explore the nearby areas, the e-Visa can be used for short transit purposes.

However, if you want to travel for relocation, study, or medical treatment purposes, you must apply for a traditional visa at the Embassy.
