Vietnam evisa (electronic visa) was officially launched in February 2017 by the Vietnam Immigration Department. This is the most suitable visa type for those who wish to travel to Vietnam for a short term (less than 90 days, single or multiple entries). The e-visa Vietnam is available to citizens of all countries, applicable for air entry, land border crossings or travel by cruise ship.

Vietnam evisa is issued by the Vietnam Immigration Department after a 3-5 working days process. The processing fee for an evisa is 25 USD (single entry) or 50 USD (multiple entry), and is non-refundable if the visa is not approved. It is a complete visa granted to tourists before they travel to Vietnam. Except for the processing fee of 25 USD (or 50 USD), they don't have to pay any extra fee.
