A Vietnamese visa is a travel document issued by competent Vietnamese authorities, granting permission to travel to and enter Vietnam.

An electronic visa (E-visa) is a visa type issued to foreigners by the Vietnamese Immigration Department through an electronic system. It is valid for a maximum of 90 days and can be single or multiple entry.

Foreigners outside Vietnam can apply for an E-visa personally or through requesting agencies and organizations. The E-visa fee is paid via the electronic payment gateway as prescribed by the Immigration Department, and it is non-refundable if the application is denied.
