Why choose an E-visa?

– The e-Visa Vietnam is an official visa authorization from the Immigration Department of Vietnam. It is a simple electronic application that allows travelers to apply directly online, simplifying the procedures to enter Vietnam. Unlike “visa on arrival”, the E-visa does not require any application for an “approval letter” and of course, you do not need to stop at the “landing visa” desk to pick up the visa.

– The e-visa of Vietnam enables you to enter Vietnam via airports, land ports & seaports. It is good for travel to Vietnam by airplane, by road or by cruise ship.
