In this updated 2025 guide, let’s explore everything you need to know about the Vietnam E-Visa: how it works, how to apply, what it costs, and why thousands of travelers choose to process their e-visa through VietnamDiscovery every month.

1. What Is a Vietnam E-Visa?

The Vietnam E-Visa (Electronic Visa) is an official visa issued online by the Vietnam Immigration Department, allowing foreigners to enter and stay in Vietnam for up to90 days for tourism, business, or family visits.

You can choose between:

• Single-entry (enter once, stay up to 90 days), or
• Multiple-entry (enter and exit several times during 90 days).

Since 2023, this e-visa has been extended to citizens of all countries and territories, making it one of the most accessible visa systems in Southeast Asia.

The best part? The process is 100% online — no embassy visits, no mailing your passport, and no need to wait in long queues upon arrival.

But the key to success is doing it right from the start — and that’s where having a local expert like Vietnam Discovery makes all the difference.
