Vietnam e Visa 2026: 90 Days for All and the 45 Day Visa Free List

Vietnam's government opened the e visa to citizens of all countries and territories with Resolution 127/NQ CP, in force since 15 August 2023. The stay grew from 30 days to up to 90 days, and you can choose a single or multiple entry. The only official site is evisa.gov.vn, run by the Immigration Department.

Many sites copy the look of the Vietnamese portal and charge much more. Check that the address ends in gov.vn before you pay.

• British National (Overseas) passports are not covered by the 45 day rule.
• The tourism programme for Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland and the others covers tourism only. Business trips from those countries need the e visa.
• If you want to stay longer than your visa free days, apply for the e visa before you fly instead.

Everyone not in the table above. That includes Azerbaijan, Türkiye, Georgia, Uzbekistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Nigeria, Egypt, the United States, Canada and Australia. Many Western travellers are surprised that the US, Canada and Australia are not visa exempt.

Your place of residence does not matter for the e visa: a Pakistani or Indian citizen living in Baku applies the same way as at home. For other destinations open to your passport, see where Azerbaijani passports can travel, travel from Pakistan or travel from India.

1. 1

   Prepare a passport photo and scan

   You need a clear photo of the passport bio page and a recent face photo. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months after arrival.

2. 2

   Fill in the form

   Choose single or multiple entry, the dates, the purpose and the exact airport or border gate where you will enter. Enter names exactly as in the passport.

3. 3

   Pay the fee

   Pay by card on the portal. Keep the registration code; you need it to check the status.

4. 4

   Wait for the decision

   Decisions often take a few working days, but plan for longer before holidays. Apply well before your flight.
