Requirements for
Irish Passport Holders

Everything Irish passport holders need to know before applying -- eligibility, documents, real fees, and how to avoid the most common mistakes.

Direct answer: Irish passport holders need a valid passport (6+ months from entry), a digital photo, and an online application to get a Vietnam eVisa. Standard processing (4-6 working days) costs $50 USD; urgent tiers range from 30-60 minutes ($215 USD) to 1 day ($110 USD). Valid up to 90 days.

Who Can Apply for a Vietnam eVisa?

+
A valid Irish passport, with at least 6 months' validity beyond your entry date
+
Travel purpose: tourism or short-term business
+
Stay duration: up to 90 days, single-entry or multiple-entry (+$25 USD)

Immigration typically applies an entry stamp regardless of visa type, so having a blank passport page is sensible -- but the core, most important requirement is the 6-month passport validity above.

FAQ

How long can Irish passport holders stay in Vietnam on an eVisa? +

Up to 90 days, single-entry or multiple-entry (+$25 USD).

Is Visa on Arrival still an option for Irish citizens? +

No. Visa on Arrival is no longer the standard route for Irish citizens or any nationality. The eVisa, applied online before travel, is the reliable current option.

What's the most important passport requirement? +

Your Irish passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended entry date -- this is the requirement most likely to cause a rejection if overlooked.

Do I need to print my eVisa? +

No. Showing the PDF on your phone is generally accepted, but a printed copy is a sensible backup in case of connectivity issues.
