Approval is the government's decision.

Direct answer: Yes, you can expedite an existing Vietnam eVisa application if it is already submitted and correct. You pay only the speed-up fee ($70 for 3 days up to $190 for 30-60 minutes, $210 on weekends and holidays), because the $25 government fee you paid is not charged again. If the file has errors, you need a corrected new application instead. Approval is always the government's decision.

You applied on time, the status says Processing, and your flight is getting close. Before you pay for anything or apply a second time, this guide shows how a speed-up works, what to send us and how to tell which route fits your file.

Key Takeaways

  • A correct, submitted application can be sped up. You pay the speed-up fee only.
  • A file with errors needs a corrected new application at the standard fee.
  • Do not apply twice: it means a second government fee and duplicate files.
  • We check your file for free before you pay.
  • We guarantee the timeframe or refund 100% of the service fee. We cannot guarantee approval.

Government processing runs Monday to Friday, 8:00-11:30 and 13:30-18:00 Vietnam time (GMT+7). Support is open 24/7. Normal processing takes about 3-5 business days, so a short wait is not necessarily a problem.

Tempted to apply again?

Don't, until you have talked to us. A second application means paying the government fee twice and can create duplicate files. Choose SPEED UP and let us check the file first.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Applying twice. It costs more and creates duplicates.
  • Waiting too long. Contact us when your flight is within 48 hours and the status is still Processing.
  • Ignoring errors. A wrong passport number or name must be fixed, not sped up.
  • Missing the reference number. Keep your confirmation email: we need the reference and the registered email.
  • Expecting to board while pending. Airlines generally require the eVisa in hand; check with yours.

Why Apply With Us

  • Transparent: one all-inclusive price, no airport fees.
  • Checked: our team reviews your application before submission.
  • Fast: from 30 minutes, with a Weekend/Holiday option.
  • Protected: 100% refund of the service fee if we miss your committed timeframe.
  • Supported: 24/7 on WhatsApp and email. Read independent reviews on Trustpilot and TripAdvisor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I expedite an existing Vietnam eVisa application?+

Yes, if the application is already submitted and the details are correct. You pay only the speed-up fee, because the $25 government fee you already paid is not charged again. We check your file for free before you pay anything.

How much does it cost to expedite an existing application?+

$70 for 3 days, $80 for 2 days, $90 for 1 day, $100 for 5 hours, $130 for 2.5 hours, $160 for 1.5 hours, $190 for 30-60 minutes and $210 for the Weekend/Holiday service.

What do I need to send you?+

Your evisa.gov.vn reference number (it looks like E260720USA...), the email address registered on the application and your flight number or travel date. Send them on WhatsApp and we review the file.

What if my application has a mistake?+

Then speeding it up is not the right route. A file with errors needs a corrected new application at the standard fee, and we tell you this during the free check before you pay. A correction through our service costs $85.

Should I apply again instead of speeding up?+

Usually not. Applying again means paying the government fee a second time and can create duplicate files. Message us first: if your file is correct, the speed-up is cheaper than a fresh expedited application for the same tier.

How long does it take after I pay?+

The speed you choose, from 3 days down to 30-60 minutes, on working days. Government processing runs Monday to Friday, 8:00-11:30 and 13:30-18:00 Vietnam time (GMT+7). For weekends and holidays use the Weekend/Holiday speed-up.

Is approval guaranteed after a speed-up?+

No. Only the Vietnamese government approves or refuses applications. We guarantee the timeframe you pay for: if we miss it, you get a 100% refund of the service fee.

My application says Processing. Is that normal?+

Usually yes. Normal processing takes about 3-5 business days, and weekends, holidays or high volume can make it longer. Speed it up only if your flight is close.

Can I change the entry type or validity during a speed-up?+

No. Entry type and validity cannot be changed after payment. If they are wrong for your trip, a new application is needed.

Do I pay anything at the airport?+

No. With a valid eVisa there is no visa fee to pay at the airport. Save the PDF on your phone and show it at check-in and at immigration.
