Vietnam eVisa — 1 Month Option 2026
1 Month
Vietnam eVisa:
Entry Options at a Glance
Validity, single or multiple entry, and fees side by side. Pick the right option in a minute: you cannot change it after paying.
Four combinations, two decisions, one chance to get them right. This guide puts every entry option side by side, so you can pick in under a minute and avoid the most common mistake: a 1 month eVisa that is a few days too short.
Key Takeaways
- Validity options: 1 month (30 days) or up to 3 months (90 days).
- Entry options: single (one entry) or multiple (several entries within the validity).
- Government fee: $25 single, $50 multiple, regardless of 1 or 3 months.
- Validity counts from your arrival date. Enter the day you really land.
- You cannot change validity or entry type after paying, and the portal has no online extension.
Entry Options at a Glance
| Option | Validity | Entries | Government fee | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month, single | 30 days | One | $25 | Short trip, fixed dates, one entry |
| 1 month, multiple | 30 days | Several | $50 | Short trip with a side trip abroad |
| 3 months, single | Up to 90 days | One | $25 | Long stay or flexible dates, one entry |
| 3 months, multiple | Up to 90 days | Several | $50 | Long stay with border runs or several trips |
Through our service, the all-inclusive price includes the government fee and multiple-entry adds $25 to any tier (see the price table below).
When 1 Month Is Enough
- Your trip is clearly shorter than 30 days and your dates are fixed.
- A holiday or business trip with one arrival and one departure.
- You want the simplest option: choose 1 month, single entry.
Leave a buffer. Flights get cancelled, and a 30-day visa for a 28-day trip leaves only two days of slack. If you are within a few days of the limit, the 3-month option costs the same government fee.
When to Choose 3 Months Instead
- You might extend your stay or change your dates.
- You plan a long trip, or want a safety margin for delays.
- You expect side trips and return flights.
An eVisa cannot be extended online, so the longer validity is the cheapest insurance you can buy at the application stage: the government fee is the same whether you pick 1 month or 3 months.
Single or Multiple Entry?
| Your plan | Choose |
|---|---|
| Fly in, travel inside Vietnam, fly out | Single entry |
| Side trip to Cambodia, Thailand or Laos, then back | Multiple entry |
| Two or more separate trips within the validity | Multiple entry |
| Not sure yet | Multiple entry: the extra $25 costs less than a new application |
A single-entry eVisa is used up the moment you enter. If you leave and want to return, you would need a new eVisa. Find the full explanation in our single vs multiple entry guide.
How the 30 Days Are Counted
Validity starts from the arrival date on your application, not from approval day. Enter the day your flight lands. If you enter a date weeks too early you lose days; if your trip is later than expected, the eVisa may not cover it. Check the validity dates on the issued PDF before you travel.
Mistakes to Avoid
- A 1 month eVisa for a trip that might run longer. You cannot extend online.
- Wrong arrival date. Validity counts from it.
- Single entry, then a border crossing. You will need a new eVisa to return.
- Assuming you can change it later. Validity and entry type are fixed after payment.
- Applying twice. If your application is pending or has the wrong option, message us before reapplying.
