FAQ – Questions and answers about Vietnam Visa

An E-Visa is an electronic visa that allows travelers to apply for and obtain their visa online before traveling to Vietnam. Issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department, it permits both single and multiple entries, with stays of up to 3 months.

The E-Visa simplifies the entry process, making it easier for tourists and business travelers to visit Vietnam.

Visa on Arrival (VOA) is a type of visa that travelers can obtain when they arrive at one of Vietnam’s international airports. It is typically used by travelers who did not apply for a visa in advance.

• Convenience: Apply and pay online before travel, eliminating the need for embassy visits or lengthy airport procedures.
• Time Efficiency: Requires less time at the airport compared to Visa on Arrival.

For most travelers, the E-Visa offers the best balance of convenience, efficiency, and cost.
