Who Needs a Last-Minute Vietnam Visa?

  • Forgot to apply in advance and your flight departs in hours
  • Realized in transit that your eVisa is missing
  • A business trip changed suddenly, requiring same-day travel
  • Denied boarding because airline staff couldn't verify your visa
  • An earlier application delayed longer than expected

Standard processing (4-6 working days) simply won't work in these situations — that's what urgent processing is for.

A clear photo of your passport's information page, a personal photo (white background), and your flight details to help match the right processing tier.

30-60 minutes, 1.5, 2.5, or 5 hours, depending on your situation.

4

By Visa or Mastercard.

Save it to your phone, and print a copy if you'd like extra peace of mind. Present it at check-in and on arrival.

Can You Apply for a Last-Minute Visa at the Airport?

You can submit your application from your phone while at the airport, but your eVisa must be fully approved before boarding. Visa on Arrival with airport stamping is no longer the standard route for most travelers -- you need a valid, approved eVisa to board your flight, not a document completed on arrival.

That's why urgent online processing matters: we handle everything remotely and deliver your fully approved eVisa by email, so you never have to stand in an embassy queue.

Do You Need Your Original Passport?

No. You only need to provide a scanned copy or high-resolution photo of your passport information page. The entire process is completed online.

FAQ

Can I really get a visa in 1 hour? +

Yes. With a clear passport scan and photo, approval within the fastest 30-60 minute tier is very likely, backed by a 100% refund if your committed timeframe is missed.

Do I need to visit an embassy or consulate? +

No. The process is entirely online -- no embassy appointments required.

Can I apply if I'm already in transit? +

Yes. Just make sure you have WiFi or mobile data to submit your documents and download your approved eVisa.

What happens if my travel dates change after applying? +

Contact support as soon as possible. Your eVisa is tied to the entry details on file, so if your dates shift, it's best to confirm with us whether an update or a new application is needed, rather than assuming the same document covers any date.
