Instead, **visa restrictions** vary based on nationality. As of early 2026, citizens from 12 European countries, Japan, and South Korea enjoy [**45-day visa exemptions**](https://www.vietnamck.cz/ostatni/blog/bezvizovy-vstup-do-vietnamu). Others — including **Afghanistan, Syria, and Pakistan** — face stricter screening and longer processing times. Most travelers will need to apply for an eVisa or obtain a visa through a **Vietnamese embassy or consulate.** There are certain countries that are classified as **"difficult"** when it comes to obtaining an eVisa for Vietnam. These include, but are not limited to, nations such as **Nigeria, Cameroon, Mozambique**, and others. This classification is determined by the Vietnamese Immigration Department and is influenced by various factors, such as: - **Higher rates of visa fraud or misuse in the past**: Some countries have been flagged due to a history of fraudulent activities or misuse of visas, which has led to stricter screening processes. - **Political or security-related concerns**: In some cases, geopolitical issues or security risks have resulted in added scrutiny for specific nationalities. - **Additional screening or verification requirements**: Citizens from these countries often undergo extended manual reviews, which involve verifying documents, travel history, and other details to ensure compliance with Vietnamese immigration policies. ### Changes Happen Frequently Visa screening policies and processing conditions may change over time. The Vietnamese Immigration Department periodically updates its policies and classifications based on evolving political, economic, and security considerations. As a result, travelers from these countries may experience varying levels of difficulty when applying for an eVisa at different times. ### Stay Informed We strongly recommend that travelers from these nations check the most up-to-date visa requirements and processing conditions regularly.
