Vietnam Emergency Visa: Urgent, Last-Minute, and Expedited Options

Travel plans don’t always go as expected — and sometimes, you may realize you need a Vietnam visa at the very last minute.

Whether you just booked a flight or your eVisa is delayed, don’t worry. Vietnam offers urgent and emergency visa solutions that can get you approved within hours.

In this complete guide, VietnamDiscovery explains how the Vietnam emergency visa works, when to use it, how fast it can be processed, and how to make sure you can still enter Vietnam smoothly — even when time is running out.

What Is a Vietnam Emergency Visa?

A Vietnam emergency visa (also known as an urgent, expedited, or last-minute visa) is a fast-tracked service that helps travelers get their visa approved in a much shorter time— sometimes within just 4 to 12 hours.

It’s designed for travelers who:

• Forgot to apply for their visa in advance,
• Have an upcoming flight within 1–2 days,
• Or had their previous visa rejected or delayed.

Depending on your travel situation, the emergency visa can be processed through either a Vietnam eVisaor aVisa on Arrival (VOA)using anapproval letter.

When Do You Need an Urgent or Last-Minute Visa?

You should consider applying for an emergency visa if:

• Your flight to Vietnam is in less than 48 hours.
• You applied for a Vietnam eVisa but it’s still “in processing” after 5–7 days.
• You need to change your arrival date to an earlier one or change your exit date to a later one at the last minute.

In these situations, a standard eVisa may not be fast enough, and an urgent Vietnam visa from VietnamDiscovery becomes the most practical solution.

How Fast Can You Get an Emergency Visa for Vietnam?

The processing time depends on the service level you choose and your arrival point.

Typical urgent processing times include:

• Standard processing: 3–5 working days
• Urgent: 1 working day (within 24 hours)
• Super urgent: 4–8 working hours
• Immediate processing: as fast as 2–4 working hours

⚠️ Note: Ultra-fast processing is only available during working hours of the Vietnam Immigration Department, but VietnamDiscovery can coordinate emergency approvals outside office hours in specific cases (weekends, nights, or holidays).

Required Documents for an Urgent Vietnam Visa

To process your emergency visa request quickly, prepare the following:

• A clear passport scan (photo page)
• Expected entry date and arrival port
• Return flight details (if available)
• Contact email for delivery of your approval letter or eVisa
