Most international visitors — including travellers from the United States, Canada, Australia and the EU — need a visa for Vietnam and should apply online for the 90-day e-visa at evisa.gov.vn: USD 25 for single entry, USD 50 for multiple entry, normally approved within three working days. ASEAN passport holders enter visa-free for 30 days, and citizens of 13 unilateral-exemption countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Belarus) may stay 45 days without a visa. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond arrival, and business travellers should carry printed e-visa copies plus hotel and return-flight details for immigration at Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Online application at evisa.gov.vn with passport data page, photo and entry point; valid up to 90 days from the requested entry date and presented as a printed or digital copy at Tan Son Nhat. 90-day multiple-entry validity, the most practical option for four-day SECC attendance with a pre-show set-up day; the applicant selects multiple entry on the same evisa.gov.vn form.
