The One Thing That Decides "Same Day": Vietnamese Business Hours

Final approvals come from the Vietnamese government, which works Monday to Friday, 8:00-11:30 and 13:30-18:00 Vietnam time (GMT+7), with a pause over lunch. That is why the same-day tiers are for business days, and why the earlier you apply in the Vietnam day, the more comfortable your timeline.

  • Business day: pick the tier that matches the time you have before your flight.
  • Saturday, Sunday or public holiday: use the Weekend/Holiday service ($230). Apply and pay on our website before 15:00 Vietnam time for delivery before 18:00 the same day.
  • Close to the end of the Vietnam day, or flying overnight: message us on WhatsApp before paying with your exact flight time. Our support is 24/7, and we'll tell you honestly what is realistic instead of promising something we can't deliver.

Common Situations

Illustrative examples, not individual customer stories.

Evening flight today, weekday morning

Applying in the Vietnam morning for an evening departure fits comfortably within the 5-hour ($125) or 2.5-hour ($155) tier.

eVisa still "Processing" before departure

Don't re-apply. Send us your reference code and use SPEED UP, saving the government fee you've already paid.

Flight on a Saturday or Sunday

The government portal is closed. Use the Weekend/Holiday service ($230) and apply before 15:00 Vietnam time.

A typo in your passport number or name

Error correction is $85, or choose an urgent tier and we'll re-check and correct the application as part of it.

Already applied on evisa.gov.vn?

Keep your reference code (format E260720USA...) and the email you registered with. Message us on WhatsApp and choose SPEED UP. Because you've already paid the $25 government fee, you only pay the speed-up fee. You can check your status any time at evisa.gov.vn/e-visa/search.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really get a Vietnam eVisa on the same day? +

Yes, on a Vietnamese business day. Our same-day tiers deliver your approved eVisa in 5 hours ($125), 2.5 hours ($155), 1.5 hours ($185) or 30-60 minutes ($215), government fee included. The government processes applications Monday to Friday, 8:00-11:30 and 13:30-18:00 (GMT+7), so the earlier in the Vietnam business day you apply, the better.

What if it's a weekend or public holiday? +

The government portal is closed, so use our Weekend/Holiday service at $230. Apply and pay on our website before 15:00 Vietnam time and your approved eVisa is delivered before 18:00 Vietnam time the same day.

What if my flight is outside Vietnamese business hours? +

Our support is available 24/7 (GMT+7), but final government approval depends on the portal being open. Message us on WhatsApp before paying with your exact flight time and we'll tell you honestly what is realistic, rather than promise something we can't deliver.

I already applied on evisa.gov.vn and it's still pending. Should I apply again? +

No. A second application can delay both. Use our SPEED UP service instead: send your reference code and registered email on WhatsApp. Because you've already paid the $25 government fee, you only pay the speed-up fee.

I made a mistake on my application. Can it be fixed? +

Yes. Our error-correction service is $85. If you choose an urgent tier instead, we re-check your whole application first and, if needed, ask the government to reopen it for correction, so you get both an accurate eVisa and fast processing.

Does the price include the government fee? +

Yes. All prices are for single-entry and include the Vietnamese government fee. Multiple-entry adds $25. Nothing is payable at the airport.

What if my eVisa is not delivered on time? +

We offer a 100% refund if we miss the committed timeframe for the service you selected.
