Most international travelers to Vietnam for travel or business purposes may need to apply for a Vietnam visa, except for those included in this list of Vietnam visa exemptions. If you are applying for a special visa type (other than a tourist visa), additional documents may be required.
To apply for a Vietnam visa, the following documents are needed:
- Passport: It must be valid for at least 2 months following your arrival date in Vietnam and have at least 2 blank pages for immigration stamps. Temporary passports may not be accepted.
- Vietnam Visa: This is required if you plan to obtain the Vietnam visa upon arrival at Vietnam’s entry port.
- Visa Application Form: Immigration Entry and Exit Application Form for a Vietnam visa on arrival.
Notes:
- Travelers transiting through a Vietnam airport should check with their airlines regarding Vietnam visa requirements.
- Travelers directly visiting Phu Quoc Island by boat or airplane from a country other than Vietnam and staying for less than 30 days do not need a Vietnam visa.
- If you are granted visa-free access to Vietnam, you only need a passport with at least 6 months of validity following your date of entry into Vietnam.
- The E-Visa is valid for all citizens of the world traveling by any mode of transportation.
