A Vietnam e-visa in four days or in an hour

A Kazakh passport gets 30 days visa-free; anything longer needs an e-visa. Uzbek and Ukrainian passports get no visa-free entry at all — the visa is needed from day one, as it is for Georgian and Armenian ones. Belarusian and Kyrgyz passports get the same 30 days as Kazakh ones, Moldovan ones 15. Citizenship changes neither the price nor the processing time: the rate is the same for everyone.

No. A visa run rests on a transfer to the border and an escort at the crossing, and we have neither. We file for people entering Vietnam from outside: you are at home or in another country and flying here. If you are in Vietnam now but flying home soon and returning later, we will do the visa for that future entry — send the manager your dates and he will look at your case.

The government fee, which sits inside the price — there is nothing to top up anywhere else. We fill in and check the form, pay from our own card, run the case through to the decision and send the finished PDF into the same chat. Nothing else to pay, not on the portal and not on arrival.

There is no reason to, if your flight is a week away. Rush options are for two situations:

• The ticket is for the day after tomorrow
• A mistake turned up in a visa already filed and it has to be submitted again

The calculator shows you the cheapest option that fits your case

Only if you are going to leave Vietnam and come back: a trip to Cambodia, Laos or Thailand. Single and multiple entry allow the same stay, up to 90 days, and the surcharge buys entries rather than days. For a 60-day trip with no side trips, single entry is enough and there is nothing to overpay for.

Yes. The price list is in dollars and we invoice in roubles at the rate on the day of the request; the manager names the rate before you pay, not after. You do not need a card from another country: we pay the portal fee from ours.

The same way as for an adult, and at the same price. Every traveller applies separately, infants included. A child needs one of two documents:

• Their own passport
• An entry in a parent’s passport with a photograph affixed

There is no child rate for a visa, so in the calculator children count the same as adults

As long as the option says. What matters is where the clock starts and how it counts:

• It starts not from your first message but from the moment we have your documents and the payment
• It counts in working days: a request on Friday evening on the "2 working days" option is ready on Tuesday
• On Saturday and Sunday only the emergency option runs, and the manager quotes its price in the chat

All times are Vietnamese, UTC+7

Up to 90 days. You set the exact window yourself in the application, with your entry and exit dates, and that window is printed on the visa. The clock starts on the entry date you applied for, not on the day the visa was issued: arriving later than that date is fine, arriving earlier is not.

Yes. Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Cam Ranh (the airport for Nha Trang) are all on the list of ports that accept e-visas. There are 83 of them in total:

• Air17
• Land27
• Sea39

The part that catches people out is different: you name your port of entry in the application, and it cannot be changed once the visa is approved — you have to arrive at the one printed on it

No. Neither visa-free entry nor an e-visa can be extended from inside the country. When the time runs out you have to leave and re-enter, or switch to a different basis — a work, business or investor visa, all of which are arranged through a company.

You can. The portal is a government one and we are not pretending otherwise. There are exactly two official sites, both in the gov.vn domain — everything else copies the interface, charges extra on top and answers for nothing; Vietnam’s immigration department has warned about the clones publicly. The gateway declines many foreign cards, and you want a week in hand before the flight. We are needed where there is no card, no week, or no room for a mistake.
