E-visas for visitors to Vietnam<\/h2>\n
\n

Just like the rest of the world, the tourism industry in Vietnam has taken a drastic plunge due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Over the past month, having managed to keep the outbreak in check, the Vietnamese government has been trying to reboot domestic tourism<\/a> by offering plenty of incentives to local travelers.<\/p>\n

Now, seemingly moving to the next step, it has issued a new resolution listing 80 countries whose residents will be eligible to apply online for an e-visa to Vietnam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The new resolution, recorded as Resolution 79\/NQ-CP<\/a>, is set to come into effect on 1st July. According to it, residents from 80 countries<\/strong> including the US, the UK, China, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and more will be able to enter Vietnam using an e-visa<\/strong>. The full list of countries can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To apply for the visa, valid passport holders of these 80 countries simply have to go to the National Web Portal on Immigration<\/a> <\/strong>and follow the instruction. A passport photo<\/strong> must be provided, as well as the basic information such as full name, nationality, passport number, etc. The entire process costs a fee of USD25<\/strong>, which will not be refunded<\/strong> if the application is rejected.<\/p>\n

Applications are processed within 3 working days<\/strong>. Applicants will also receive a registration code, which they can use to check their application process on the E-visa search menu<\/a>. If approved, the e-visa is valid for a maximum of 30 days, and for a single entry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
