How do you find which Vietnam visa fits your passport?
Your Vietnam visa is decided by two things: the passport you hold and the purpose of your trip. Each passport falls into one group, and each group has one answer.
| If… | Then… |
|---|---|
| Your passport is in the group that needs an eVisa | We apply for your Vietnam eVisa online for you: we complete, check and submit the application, the government reviews it, and the eVisa arrives by email. |
| Your passport is in the group that can enter without a visa | No visa is needed within the permitted stay. A longer stay or a different purpose can change the answer. |
| Your passport is in the group that needs a consular visa | A visa is arranged through the embassy route, and we handle it with you. |
| You are travelling for business, study or a long stay | The purpose of the trip decides the visa type, so tell us your purpose and we match the right product. |

What is a Vietnam eVisa and who needs one?
A Vietnam eVisa is an online visa, issued electronically, that travelers from many passports need before they fly to Vietnam.
There is no stamp to collect and no trip to an embassy. With PassportsAndVisas.com, we complete your application, check every detail and document, and submit it. The government reviews it and makes the decision, and your eVisa arrives by email.
Which Vietnam visa is right for business, study or a long stay?
