From 15 Aug 2023, as approved, Vietnam e-visa will be valid for up to 90 days, single entry or multiple entries, instead of the current 30 days, single entry only. Within 90 days of evisa validity, the eVisa holders may enter and leave Vietnam as many times as they wish, without following any new evisa issuance procedure.
According to the National Assembly Standing Committee, this move is to meet the needs of international travelers, facilitate those who want to enter Vietnam to study, carry out market surveys, and seek and promote their investment, especially in cases where travelers need to visit various countries in Southeast Asia and return to Vietnam to evaluate and compare the potential ability to expand their investment and business in Vietnam.
This change will apply to those submitting their application for Vietnam eVisa on or after August 15, 2023. Those who have their eVisa for Vietnam issued or have their Vietnam evisa application submitted before August 15, 2023 will not be entitled to this change.
