An e-visa is a convenient way to obtain permission to enter Vietnam prior to travel. Since its launch in February 2017, the e-Visa program has become increasingly popular as it offers travelers a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional visa applications.

Enhanced e-Visa portal for hassle-free application

Since its launch in 2017, Vietnam's e-Visa system has evolved significantly, providing travellers from eligible countries with a convenient entry option. The Immigration Department, under the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security, has announced the debut of the enhanced e-Visa portal, which will be launched on 11 November 2024. This upgraded platform aims to streamline the application process with a user-friendly design and new access options.

The new e-Visa portal can be accessed at the following URLs:

• thithucdientu.gov.vn (alternative URL)

Key requirements for applying for a Vietnam e-Visa

The new platform requires applicants to upload a passport photo and a scanned copy of the passport information page. To improve accuracy, the system compares the uploaded images with the passport information and automates parts of the e-visa form.
