Vietnam eVisa Basics for Irish Citizens
Vietnamese weekends and public holidays don't count as processing days for standard timelines.
Common Causes of Vietnam eVisa Delays
- Incorrect personal information (misspelled name, wrong passport number)
- Low-quality or non-compliant passport scans or photos
- Submitting during Vietnamese holidays or peak travel periods
- Unpaid or unconfirmed visa service fees
- Occasional technical issues on government or agency websites
Step-by-Step Tips to Avoid Delays
Double-check every detail
Make sure your name, passport number, and date of birth match exactly what's on your passport. Even a single typo can cause a rejection or delay.
Upload clear, high-resolution documents
Your passport scan should be in color, fully visible, and your passport valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Your photo should meet the standard size and background requirements.
Apply early, but not excessively early
A good target is 1-2 weeks before your trip. Be especially mindful around Tet (Lunar New Year) and the June-August summer peak, when higher application volume can slow standard processing.
Use urgent processing if your trip is close
If you're traveling within 24-48 hours, urgent tiers (from 30-60 minutes up to 1 day) exist specifically for this situation.
Confirm your payment went through
Many delays trace back to payment not being fully processed. Make sure you receive a confirmation email or receipt before assuming your application is moving forward.
What to Do If Your Vietnam eVisa Is Delayed
- Check your email spam/junk folder for the eVisa approval
- Contact your visa service provider to check your application status
- Don't submit a second application on your own -- ask support whether your existing application can be prioritized instead. Two separate applications with even slightly different details can create a data mismatch that delays both rather than resolving anything.

FAQ
How long is a Vietnam eVisa valid for Irish citizens? +
Up to 90 days, single-entry or multiple-entry (+$25 USD).
My visa is delayed and my flight is soon -- should I submit a new application? +
No, not on your own. Contact support first with your existing application details -- in some cases it can be prioritized rather than needing a fresh start, and submitting a second application with slightly different details can create a data mismatch that delays both.
Does Tet or the summer peak season really cause delays? +
Yes -- higher application volume during Tet (Lunar New Year) and the June-August peak season can mean standard processing takes longer than usual. Applying with extra buffer time, or using an urgent tier if needed, helps avoid this.
