Do Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam?

Yes. Indian nationals must obtain a visa before travelling. The Vietnam E-Visa (100% online, up to 90 days) is the most convenient option.

How long does Vietnam E-Visa processing take?

The Vietnam E-Visa is processed within 3 business days. The Visa on Arrival approval letter is issued within 24 hours. Both are delivered to your email.

What is the Vietnam E-Visa fee for Indian applicants?

The official government fee is USD 25 (approximately ₹2,075). VisaBanana charges an additional service fee for form assistance, photo compliance check, submission and WhatsApp support.

How many days can Indians stay in Vietnam on an E-Visa?

The Vietnam E-Visa grants a single-entry stay of up to 90 days. Visa on Arrival permits up to 30 days.

Which airports accept Vietnam Visa on Arrival for Indians?

Hanoi Noi Bai (HAN), Ho Chi Minh City Tan Son Nhat (SGN), Da Nang (DAD) and a few other international airports. VoA is not accepted at land or sea border crossings.

Can I extend my Vietnam visa from inside the country?

Yes. A single extension of up to 30 days can be applied for at a provincial Department of Immigration before your current visa expires. Overstaying without extension results in fines and future visa complications.

Is a return ticket mandatory for Vietnam visa?

Not a strict form requirement, but immigration officers at entry may ask for proof of onward travel. Carrying a confirmed return booking avoids any issues at the border.

Can first-time travellers and students apply for a Vietnam E-Visa?

Yes, with no restrictions. Students should attach their latest bank statement, college ID and a brief travel plan to strengthen the application.

Common Reasons for Visa Rejection

Vietnam E-Visa refusals are rare but preventable — here is what to watch out for

Passport Validity Too Short

Passport must remain valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Vietnam.

Non-compliant Photo

Selfies, sunglasses, coloured backgrounds or low-resolution images are rejected — use a white-background headshot.

Prior Immigration Violations

Any past overstay, deportation or visa refusal increases rejection risk significantly.

Applied Too Late

Submitting an E-Visa application fewer than 3 working days before travel leaves no buffer. You may apply for an urgent visa where we expedite visa issuance from the embassy.
