The Game-Changer: The New 90-Day Multiple Entry E-Visa
This is the good news you've been waiting for! Vietnam’s electronic visa (e-visa) system has been updated (https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/).
- Extended Stay: The new e-visa allows you to stay for 90 days. That’s a huge difference from the previous limit of 30 days. This provides you with lots of time to get to know the country from North to South, without the stress of rushing through.
- Multiple Entry: Goodbye single-entry! The 90-day e-visa is now a multiple-entry visa, so you can enter and exit Vietnam freely. If you want to do a side trip to Cambodia or Laos and return? No problem!
- Wider Eligibility: You can now apply for an e-visa if you’re a citizen of any nation or territory! You can now apply for a Vietnam e-visa online regardless of nationality!
How to Apply for the E-Visa
The process is simple and secure. Go to the official Vietnam Immigration Department website and complete the e-visa requirements. Fill out the form, upload your passport-sized photo, and pay the fee. Processing times are generally within 3 business days.
Extended Visa Waivers: More Countries, More Days!
For travelers from select countries, your trip just got longer and easier!
- 45-Day Visa-Free Stay: The visa waiver period for citizens of thirteen countries has been extended from 15 days to 45 days (including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Russia).
- Easier Travel: You can now experience the best of Vietnam without the hassle of a visa application process. Simply purchase your airfare and enjoy the trip of a lifetime!
Please remember to check the current official list of visa waiver countries since this list is subject to future changes based on new government resolutions.
Important Travel Rules & Tips You Should Know
Although you won't be applying for a visa, there are still some travel rules to know to ensure a smooth trip:
- Passport Validity: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months past your planned date of entry. This is standard for most international travel plans.
- Temporary Residence Declaration: By law, all foreign visitors must have their temporary residence declaration completed. When you stay in a hotel, guest house, or homestay, the staff will handle this for you.
- Safety: Vietnam is generally a safe country for tourists, but like any place in the world, it is important to stay aware of your surroundings and be vigilant even in crowded places. The government and local authorities take visitor safety seriously.
- Stay Informed: You can depend on us for the latest information, but since travel regulations do sometimes change, you should always double-check the official Vietnam government or embassy information before traveling, as it will have the most current information regarding travel regulations.
