Updated regulation about 3 month tourist visa processing time

An updated regulation about 3 month tourist visa processing time has been announced by the Immigration Department of Vietnam.

Previously, it took just 2 business days at maximum to verify and approve a 3 month tourist visa request. For rush situations, Vietnam Immigration Department used to accept to process visa with urgent service in 1 business day or with super urgent service in 4 working hours. However, since June 01st 2019, the policy has been amended, and it has taken 3 to 4 business days to get a three-month Vietnam tourist visa approved without applying any express service.

Is there any change in procedure of getting 3 month tourist visa?

Procedure of getting three month tourist visa still includes two main steps: applying for visa approval letter and getting visa stamped. The first step can be completed as following:

-       Submitting a visa application online at https://evietnamvisa.com/apply.html

-       Paying visa approval fee

-       Receiving visa approval letter via email after three to four business days

Once having visa visa approval letter, you can prepare for your entry. Upon arrival at Vietnam international airport, by presenting visa approval letter, passport and paying visa stamping fee to Vietnam immigration officers, you will be granted official Vietnam tourist visa stamped onto your passport. Thereby, the current procedure of getting three month tourist visa is maintained with convenient steps like before.

Three month tourist vis cost

Currently, the approval cost three month tourist Vietnam visa is still USD 28 per person with single entry or USD 35 per person with multiple entries. These mentioned fees are not applied for citizens of India, Egypt, China, Israel, South Korea, Central East countries, and African countries. About visa stamping fee, it should be USD 25 per person for single entry visa and USD 50 per person for multiple entries visa.

How long should you apply for three month tourist visa in advance?
