Electronic Visa (e-Visa) for Vietnam

The Vietnamese visa regulations allow citizens from Germany and some other European countries to visit the country for up to 45 days for tourism, business trips, and private visits without a visa. However, for longer stays in Vietnam, a visa must be obtained in advance.

Since 2017, Vietnam has had an electronic visa system (e-Visa), which allows foreign nationals from all countries to apply for an entry permit without having to visit a consulate. The advantage of the e-Visa is that both the application and issuance of the visa are done online, making the processing much faster.

On this page, you will find detailed information about the e-Visa for Vietnam. Our company Buch-dein-Visum.de offers you all visa-related services so that you can prepare for your trip as comfortably as possible. Order your e-Visa for Vietnam on our website and save your time!
