Vietnam Lunar New Year 2025 is coming, how to get entry visa?
In Vietnam, the Lunar New Year holiday is a time for people to temporarily put aside their current work to clean their houses and decorate for the holiday. Families gather to cook traditional dishes together and give each other lucky money. All companies are closed to celebrate Lunar New Year, including government departments.
So, the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday in Vietnam may disrupt your visa processing times. Here’s what you need to know to avoid delays and ensure a smooth trip.
Vietnam’s 2025 Lunar New Year Holiday Schedule
The 2025 Lunar New Year holiday in Vietnam will take place from January 25 to February 2. During this period, government offices, including immigration departments, will be closed. Therefore, any pending visa applications will be moved forward for further processing after the end of the holiday period.
Processing a Vietnam e-visa typically takes at least 3-4 working days. If you haven’t applied yet or plan to apply today, you should consider using urgent e-visa services. These services ensure your e-visa application will be approved before the holiday closure begins.
How to get a Vietnam visa during the holiday?
For travelers unable to secure an e-visa in time, applying for a visa on arrival (VOA) through a trusted travel agency like us is an option. While VOA services during the holiday may incur higher costs, we guarantee visa issuance even during the official closure period.
Key Takeaways
- Apply for a Vietnam e-visa before the holidays to avoid disruption to your travel schedule and save money.
- Use urgent visa services if your entry date is close to the Lunar New Year holiday.
- If the holliday is going on but you still need a Vietnam visa to enter, consider using VOA service, keeping in mind the higher costs but guaranteed approval in same day.
Wishing you a safe and happy trip to Vietnam during this Lunar New Year 2025 holiday.
