What is a Vietnam eVisa?

A Vietnam eVisa is a document issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department that allows foreign nationals to obtain a visa upon arrival at designated international airports in Vietnam. It serves as official permission for the holder to enter Vietnam and have their visa stamped in their passport at the airport.

Key points about the Vietnam eVisa:

• It is not a visa itself but rather a required document to obtain an eVisa.
• With a valid eVisa, travelers can pick up their visas at international airports in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Nha Trang.
• eVisa contains details about the traveler, the purpose of entry, and the permitted duration of stay in Vietnam.
• To apply, travelers submit an online application with required documents like passport copies. A colored scanned copy of the eVisa is then emailed to the applicant.
• Processing typically takes 2–5 business days, but expedited options are available for an additional fee.
• eVisa is valid from the specified entry date until the exit date granted on it.

So in summary, the Vietnam eVisa is a required document that allows eligible travelers visiting Vietnam to get an eVisa. It eliminates the need to obtain a visa at an embassy before the trip.
