Planning a visit to Vietnam?
Understanding Vietnam's visa requirements is the first step. We help international visitors understand relevant visa options and navigate the application process with clear, nationality-specific guidance.
Vietnam visa guidance, made clear
Vietnam welcomes visitors from around the world, but the right visa depends on your nationality, how long you plan to stay, and why you are coming. The e-visa covers many short tourism and business trips, while other situations call for a different approach. Vivid Vietnam helps you understand which option fits your circumstances and supports you through the application process — so you can plan your trip with confidence rather than guesswork.
We work with clients from Canada, the United States, Russia, South Korea and many other countries, as well as foreigners who are already in Vietnam and need guidance on what to do next. Our role is to bring clarity, not to make immigration decisions — those remain with the Vietnamese authorities.
Vietnam e-visa information & eligibility
The e-visa is Vietnam's electronic visa for short tourism and business visits. We help you understand whether it applies to your nationality, how it works, and what to prepare before you apply.
Visa application assistance & document review
A complete, correct application is the foundation of a smooth process. We review your details, walk you through each field, and help you avoid the common mistakes that cause delays.
Nationality-specific guidance
Visa options differ by passport. We provide tailored guidance for Canadian, American, Russian, South Korean and other nationalities, including entry requirements and length-of-stay considerations.
Visa consultations with a specialist
Book a one-to-one consultation to talk through your situation, ask questions, and get a clear explanation of the options relevant to your goals and timeline.
Guidance for visitors already in Vietnam
Already in Vietnam and unsure of your next step? We help people on the ground understand extension and renewal pathways and what to do before their current status expires.
Extension & renewal pathway information
If you want to stay longer, we explain the available pathways, the documentation involved, and how to plan ahead so you are not caught short at the border.
Government fees vs. Vivid Vietnam service fees
It is important to understand the difference between the two. The government fee is paid to Vietnamese authorities for the visa itself and is set by them. The Vivid Vietnam service fee covers our guidance, document review and application support. These are separate charges, and both are disclosed before you commit to anything. We do not publish unverified government fees, processing times or eligibility rules, because these can change — we confirm the current position with you directly.
Important disclaimer
Vivid Vietnam does not guarantee visa approval. Immigration decisions are made by Vietnamese authorities. Requirements may change. Eligibility depends on individual circumstances. Certain services may be delivered through appropriately qualified local professionals. Government fees are separate from Vivid Vietnam service fees. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with the Vietnamese government.
Frequently asked questions

What is the Vietnam e-visa?
The e-visa is an electronic visa issued online by Vietnamese authorities for tourism and short business visits, available to citizens of many countries. We explain whether it applies to you, how to apply, and what supporting information you need to provide.
Can Vivid Vietnam guarantee my visa approval?
No. Immigration decisions are made solely by Vietnamese authorities. Vivid Vietnam provides guidance and assistance to help you prepare a complete and correct application, but we cannot guarantee any outcome. Requirements may change and eligibility always depends on individual circumstances.
