Who needs this
Travellers from Australia, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, India and most other countries need a visa for Vietnam. Passports from the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Nordic countries, Japan, Korea and 12 more European countries can stay up to 45 days without one; they only need an e-visa to stay longer or to be sure of re-entry after a side trip. Check your passport in our Vietnam visa guide. Ava Travel cannot apply for passports issued by Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan; travellers with those passports should apply on evisa.gov.vn or through the Vietnamese embassy.
What you need
- A clear photo or scan of your passport photo page. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months after you arrive and have 2 blank pages.
- A recent passport-style photo: face straight on, white background, no glasses.
- Your arrival and departure dates and the airport or land border you will use.
- Your first hotel address in Vietnam, email and phone number.
You upload the passport and photo in the booking form above, before you pay, so we can start straight away. For the Standard option you can also upload them after payment with the link in your confirmation email; the processing time then starts when we have them. We use them only to apply for your visa, keep them off the public website and delete them within 45 days. We never ask for card details by email or chat.
How it works
- 1. Choose your option and upload your documents above. Options that cannot be ready before your arrival date are switched off: working days are Monday to Friday, Hanoi time, and documents received after 3pm count from the next working day (Express: before 10am for the same day).
- 2. Pay at the secure checkout. You get an order confirmation by email.
- 3. We check your case. Within the same working day we tell you whether we can take it.
- 4. Check the details. We send you the filled-in form to confirm before we submit it.
- 5. Receive your e-visa as a PDF within the processing time you chose. Print it and keep it with your passport.
You can always apply yourself on the government website evisa.gov.vn for $25. Our service is for travellers who need the visa fast or want someone in Vietnam to check the form.
Compare first: what agencies charge for a Vietnam e-visa, how long it takes, holidays included, and why e-visas are refused.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Vietnam e-visa cost?
The government fee is $25 for single entry and $50 for multiple entry if you apply yourself on evisa.gov.vn. With Ava Travel, a standard single-entry e-visa costs $55 including the government fee, and the Express service, usually 4 to 8 working hours, costs $140.
Can I get a Vietnam e-visa urgently?
Yes. Ava Travel can get a Vietnam e-visa in 2 working days ($85), or with Express usually within 4 to 8 working hours ($140), single entry, government fee included. For Express, every passport and photo must reach us before 10am Hanoi time on a working day; later documents are done the next working day. Not at weekends or on public holidays.
Is the e-visa from Ava Travel the same as the official one?
Yes. We submit your application on the government system and you receive the same official e-visa PDF you would get by applying yourself.
Is it safe to use an agency for a Vietnam e-visa?
Use a registered company that takes card payment, shows the government fee and sends you the official PDF. Ava Travel is registered as AVA TRAVEL AGENCY CO.,LTD (tax code 0111323415) in Hanoi.
What if my visa is refused?
Vietnam's Immigration Department decides every application. Ava Travel checks your documents before taking your case and, if an application is refused, tells you the reason and what to fix.
Why use Ava Travel instead of the government website?
Speed and a person checking your form. evisa.gov.vn costs $25 but has no urgent option. Ava Travel costs $55, offers 2 working days or 4 to 8 hour Express, and checks the form with you before submitting.
Which passports can Ava Travel not apply for?
Ava Travel cannot apply for Vietnam e-visas on passports issued by Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan. Apply on evisa.gov.vn or through the Vietnamese embassy instead.
Do I need a visa for a Halong Bay cruise?
No separate visa. Your Vietnam e-visa or visa-free stamp covers the cruise, but the cruise line needs your passport details.
