Your options
Vietnam tourist visa options
Most tourists enter Vietnam on an e-visa, but visa exemption or an approval-letter visa on arrival can fit certain nationalities and routes. The right choice depends on your passport, how long you want to stay, and how you enter the country.
Tourist e-visa (DL)
Applied for online before travel. Open to citizens of all countries and territories, valid for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry depending on the issued visa.
Visa exemption
Some nationalities can enter for a limited number of days without a visa. Stay length and eligibility depend on your passport, so confirm before relying on it.
Approval-letter visa on arrival
An older route still used for some air arrivals. We check whether a standard e-visa is simpler and cheaper for your trip before you choose it.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a tourist visa to visit Vietnam?
It depends on your nationality and stay length. Some nationalities have short visa-exempt entry; others need a visa. Most travelers use the Vietnam tourist e-visa, which is open to all nationalities. We check which option applies to your passport and trip.
How long can I stay in Vietnam on a tourist visa?
The Vietnam tourist e-visa can be valid for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry, depending on the document issued. Visa-exempt stays are shorter and depend on your nationality. We confirm the stay length that applies to your passport and route.
How much does a Vietnam tourist visa cost?
Cost depends on the route (e-visa, visa exemption, or another option), single or multiple entry, processing speed, and any support service. We give a clear quote after checking your nationality and travel plan.
Can I extend a Vietnam tourist visa?
Sometimes. Whether a tourist visa or e-visa can be extended inside Vietnam depends on your status, sponsor situation, and current policy. If extending is not realistic, a visa run is often the cleaner route to a fresh stay.
Who should review Vietnam tourist visa options before applying?
First-time visitors, travelers entering by land or seaport, people planning multiple entries, and anyone unsure whether visa exemption or e-visa applies should review options first.
What documents are commonly needed for a Vietnam tourist e-visa?
Travelers usually need passport details, a passport data page scan, portrait photo, arrival and departure dates, first Vietnam address, and entry and exit border gates.
What common tourist visa mistakes cause delays?
Common mistakes include wrong border gates, unclear passport or portrait images, incorrect passport details, visa-exemption assumptions, and applying too close to travel.
