Is a Vietnam Visa in 24 Hours Realistic?
Often yes, on working days, when the application is complete and the details match the passport. It is less certain when you apply late on a Friday, on a weekend or holiday, or when a detail has to be fixed first. Choose a speed with some margin, not the exact time left.
No service can promise approval. Only the Vietnamese government approves or refuses an application. What we commit to is the timeframe you choose, backed by a refund.
Who Usually Needs It
- Travellers whose plans changed and now fly within a day or two.
- People who discovered at check-in or the day before that the eVisa was missing.
- Business travellers booked at short notice.
- Travellers with a pending application and a flight close by.

Working Hours Matter (GMT+7)
Government processing runs Monday to Friday, 8:00-11:30 and 13:30-18:00 Vietnam time (GMT+7).

For Weekend/Holiday, apply and pay before 15:00 Vietnam time for delivery before 18:00 the same day.
If Your eVisa Is Still Pending Before Your Flight
Do not submit a second application: it can mean paying the government fee twice. If your application is correct, a speed-up applies and the $25 government fee is not charged again.
| Time until your flight | Speed | Speed-up fee |
|---|---|---|
| 3 days or more | 3 Days | $70 |
| 2 days | 2 Days | $80 |
