2023 updated: Vietnam Urgent Visa Service

What is an Urgent Visa Service?

Urgent visa service is a service that helps tourists get Vietnam visa faster than normal government working days. For example, if you have urgent work to come to Vietnam tomorrow, but you cannot obtain a Vietnam visa immediately, then the urgent visa service is opened to assist you to get a Vietnam visa within 3 working days, 2 working days, 8 hours, 4 hours or even 1 hour. 

The special feature is that only we (travel agency) provide Vietnam urgent visa services. When you apply for a Vietnam visa through the government website, you cannot use the urgent visa service.

What types of Vietnam Urgent Visa Service are there?

Vietnam visa is divided into two types: electronic visa (E-visa) and visa on arrival (visa on arrival). Before you apply for a visa, you should find out in advance which type of visa is eligible for the passport you hold so that you can prepare the required documents and proceed to apply on a government website or at a travel agency. Each type of visa has different policies, so urgent visa services will also vary.

E- visa:

When you apply for an e-visa, the normal working hours are 5 working days for tourism purposes and 3 working days for business purposes.

Urgent services for obtaining electronic visas are available in the following categories: 3-day urgent service, 2-day urgent service, 1-day urgent service, 4-hour urgent service, 2-hour urgent service.

Visa on arrival:

Currently, visa-on-arrival is only available for tourists traveling to Vietnam for tourism purposes. The policy of visa on arrival has changed a bit compared to before, and the document requirements have also changed from before.

How to apply for Vietnam visa?

When visiting or working in Vietnam, if you are not on the list of exempted Vietnam visa you must apply for a Vietnam visa.

So how to apply for Vietnam visa? You can apply for a Vietnam visa in the following two ways:

Option 1: You visit the Vietnamese government website, and then provide all the information required by the Vietnamese government, such as: full name, date of birth, date of entry, date of exit, passport scan, portrait photo, etc.

All processes are very simple. You will then be informed of the date you will receive your visa result. The government visa fee is $25 (E-visa).

Note: The Vietnamese government website is only applicable to electronic visa (E-visa) and Vietnam visa on arrival must be applied for through a travel agency.

Option 2: You apply for a Vietnam visa through a travel agency. Of course, the visa fee will be a little higher than that of the government. All processes are also fully online and you will receive the visa result via the email provided to the travel agency.

The question is: I completely self-applied for a Vietnam visa through the government website, why should I use our service? . I would like to answer your question with the following points:

When you apply directly to the Vietnamese government website:

• Only applicable to electronic visa (E-visa), not visa on arrival.
• When you have any questions to be answered, there will be no staff on hand to deal with your questions.
• Your visa application fee will not be refunded if your application is refused or if you make any errors during the application process, so please double check your information during the registration process.
• When you register directly with the government, there is no way to know your visa status, and your application may be later than the expected date of your Vietnam visa collection.
• Usually you will get your e-Visa within about 4-5 working days, however, the visa processing time may vary depending on the number of applicants or public holidays. Therefore, you should submit the application two weeks before coming to Vietnam to ensure that you have a Vietnam e-Visa. If the flight date/time is approaching and you still do not have a visa, please use our urgent Vietnam visa service.
• When it comes to the date when you can receive the visa result, you have to go to the government website to find and download the visa result yourself, they will not send it to you through your email
