Do I need to print out my Vietnam e-Visa, or can I show it on my phone?
Yes. It would be best if you had a printout of your eVisa upon arrival in Vietnam. Once your application is approved, your e visa will be sent to your email address in PFD format. Therefore, you should print it out before departing for Vietnam. Apart from your printed e visa, you ought to bring a passport along with you when traveling to this Southeast Asian country. This passport needs to have a validity of at least 06 months from your entry date in Vietnam. The immigration officer at the airport will ask you to present these documents before giving you permission to enter the country legally.
Even though Vietnam has removed the requirement for travelers to show proof of travel insurance that covers COVID, we strongly recommend tourists possess travel insurance to ensure an enjoyable trip in the country.
An electronic visa (e-Visa) for Vietnam is an online authorization document that allows foreign citizens to visit Vietnam for tourism, conference, business, or other purposes. The e-Visa system was launched by the Vietnam Immigration Department in 2017 to simplify and expedite the visa application process for eligible foreign nationals. With an e visa, travelers are allowed to enter Vietnam once and remain in the country for up to 30 days.
