Good News for Many Travelers: Is a Visa Even Required?

Before you dive into visa applications, check if you can enter Vietnam visa-free! Citizens from many countries, including the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and South Korea, can enjoy a 45-day stay without a visa. Travelers from neighboring ASEAN countries also benefit from generous exemptions.

Still Need a Visa? Get It the Easy Way.

If you’re not eligible for visa-free entry, don’t let the application process add stress to your travel planning. Apply through an expert for a hassle-free process, fast turnaround with a simple application form, and a 100% success rate or your money back.

Your VIP Arrival: The Fast Track

1. Deplane
2. Meet & Greet
3. Priority Immigration
4. Baggage & Exit

The fastest, most seamless path from the gate to Vietnam. No queues, no stress. Your vacation starts the moment you land.

Standard Arrival: The Usual Path

1. Deplane
2. Immigration Queue (30-90+ min)
3. Baggage & Exit

The main bottleneck for e-visa and visa-free travelers is the long wait at the immigration checkpoint during peak hours.

Visa on Arrival: The Longest Wait

1. Deplane
2. VOA Counter Queue
3. Immigration Queue
4. Baggage & Exit

VOA travelers face two potential queues, making it the most time-consuming process. The VIP service handles both for you.

A Crucial Note for Chinese E-Passport Holders

If you are a Chinese citizen traveling with an e-passport and holding a Vietnamese e-visa, your arrival process has a mandatory extra step. When you deplane, do not go directly to the main Arrival Immigration Checkpoint.

You are required to first visit the Landing Visa counter (also called the Visa on Arrival counter). Here, you will show your e-visa and passport to an officer, who will then issue you a separate loose-leaf visa. After you have this loose-leaf visa, you can then proceed to the Arrival Immigration Checkpoint for your entry stamp. The VIP Arrival Service can also handle this special process for you seamlessly.

Arrive Prepared & Confident

Use this interactive checklist to ensure you have everything in order before you fly. A little preparation goes a long way.
