Step-by-Step: Entering Vietnam with an E-Visa

1. Save Your E-Visa PDF on Your Device

Once approved, your E-Visa will be emailed to you as a PDF. Save it on your phone or tablet where it’s easy to access offline.

2. Prepare for Immigration

When you land, keep the following ready:

_ Your valid passport (must have at least 6 months’ validity and two blank pages)

_ The E-Visa PDF (on your phone or printed)

3. Head to the Passport Control

At the immigration counter, present your E-Visa along with your passport. The immigration officer will review both documents to verify their validity and ensure all details match.

Once everything is confirmed, they will stamp your passport with the entry date.

Tips for a Smooth Arrival

_ Apply early: Processing takes around 3–5 working days, but faster options are available

_ Double-check your details: Mistakes on your E-Visa could delay your entry

_ Save your PDF offline: Just in case you don’t have Wi-Fi at the airport
