Vietnam Unveils New e-Visa System for Seamless Travel, Effective November 11

Vietnam’s updated e-Visa portal will make travel easier for foreign tourists as of November 11, 2024. The new platform supports Vietnam’s thriving tourism business by providing a streamlined application procedure, more alternatives for stays, and easy access through 42 entrance points.

Fantastic news for tourists! On November 11th, 2024, Vietnam launched a brand-new, user-friendly, and optimized electronic visa (e-Visa) portal, further simplifying travel. With improved functionality and a more user-friendly interface, this revamped platform seeks to expedite the application process for candidates from all around the world.

What is an E-Visa?

Before your journey, you can easily get authorization to enter Vietnam using an electronic visa, or e-Visa. The e-Visa program, which started in February 2017 and gives visitors a quicker and more effective option to traditional visa applications, has grown in popularity.

Improved e-Visa Portal for a Smooth Application Process

Vietnam’s e-Visa system has undergone substantial development since its inception in 2017, offering visitors from qualified nations a quick means of entrance. Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security’s Immigration Department has announced the launch of an upgraded e-Visa portal, which is scheduled to launch on November 11, 2024.

With a more user-friendly interface and additional accessibility features, this updated platform seeks to expedite the application process.

The following URLs will take you to the new e-Visa portal:

• evisa.gov.vn (New e-Visa Portal)
• evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn (Existing Portal)
• thithucdientu.gov.vn (Alternative URL)

Essential Conditions for Applying for a Vietnam eVisa

Applicants must upload a scanned copy of the passport’s information page and a passport photo to the new site. The system automates portions of the e-Visa process by comparing the uploaded photos with passport data to ensure accuracy.

After that, applicants can choose the kind of visa they require and confirm their personal information, passport data, and trip itinerary. Vietnam is attempting to decrease application errors and expedite approvals by implementing this effective pre-filling procedure.

Options for Visas and Stay Length

Vietnam has extended e-Visa eligibility to people of all nations as of August 15, 2023, giving applicants the option to select from

• With a single-entry visa (US$25), you can enter Vietnam once while it is valid.
• A multiple-entry visa (US$50) allows you to enter Vietnam more than once throughout its validity period.

With an E-Visa, how long can I stay in Vietnam?

Fantastic news! A maximum stay of 30 days was formerly allowed by e-Visas; however, the new policy increases this limit to 90 days, giving passengers more freedom to stay longer and explore more.
