Visa for Vietnam

Who needs a Vietnam visa?

Visa requirements depend on nationality, passport type, purpose of travel and any applicable exemption. Travellers who are not visa-exempt should obtain the appropriate permission before travelling. For tourism, the Vietnam e‑Visa is the main online route for eligible applicants.

Vietnam Tourist Visa

For holiday travel, many eligible foreign passport holders use the electronic visa system rather than a paper application. Always check current rules for your passport before booking around a visa assumption.
