Starting this February, citizens from select countries will be able to apply for their Vietnam visas via an online portal. Included on the list are China, Japan, the Republic Korea, the US, the UK, Germany and Sweden, all major target markets for Vietnam’s tourism sector.
To apply for e-visas, foreign citizens can access the websites http://www.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn or http://www.immigration.gov.vn.
Applicants are required to complete a form available on two separate websites (one in Vietnamese and the other in English) run by the Ministry of Public Security. They will receive an application code and will be asked to pay a non-refundable fee online. It will take three working days for tourists to find out if their applications have been approved or not, according to the directive. Successful applicants will be able to print off their e-visas to present when they arrive.
