We offer a 90-day single-entry Vietnam e-visa under this service. The processing time is approximately four hours, calculated from the moment you complete your exit procedure at the border.

How does the process work?
To begin, you will need to provide your passport (valid for at least 6 months) and a passport-style photo.
