Vietnam e-Visa Services

📍 Requirements for the Vietnam e-Visa

To apply for a Vietnam e-Visa, applicants must provide:

• A valid passport with at least 6 months of remaining validity

• A headshot photo

• A scan of the passport information (bio) page

Both uploads must be clear and high quality.

Vietnam’s e-Visa system uses facial recognition technology that compares the headshot photo with the photo in the passport bio page. If the system cannot confirm that the photos match, the application may be rejected.

However:

• The visa is only valid within the entry and exit dates listed in the application
