In a groundbreaking move, Vietnam has officially opened its e-visas scheme to citizens of all countries, including the United States. This update comes as great news for travelers and tourists from the United States who have been eagerly waiting for a more streamlined and efficient visa application process.
Starting from August 15, 2023, citizens of the United States can now apply online for a 90-day e-visa to Vietnam. Gone are the days of visiting the Vietnamese embassy or consulate to go through the lengthy visa application process. With just a few clicks, travelers can now apply for their e-visa from the comfort of their own homes.
The introduction of the e-visa system in Vietnam brings forth a myriad of benefits for United States citizens planning to visit this beautiful Southeast Asian country. The most significant advantage is the convenience it offers. No longer do travelers need to spend time and effort on embassy visits and paperwork. Applying for an e-visa online is a simple and hassle-free process.
Additionally, the cost of the e-visa is highly competitive. For a single-entry e-visa, the fee is just US$25, while a multiple-entry e-visa costs US$50. However, it is important to note that the cost paid for the e-visa application is non-refundable, regardless of whether the application is approved or denied.
Vietnam has made it incredibly convenient for e-visa holders to enter and exit the country. There are a total of 13 airports, 16 land border gates, and 13 sea border gates designated for e-visa holders. This extensive network ensures that travelers have multiple options to choose from based on their travel itineraries.
The introduction of the e-visa system also allows travelers to explore neighboring ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries without the need for additional visa applications. This is particularly valuable for tourists who wish to visit other destinations in the region while using Vietnam as their base.
A delighted tourist expressed his joy at the multiple-entry e-visa feature, saying, “It’s really good news. We’ve waited very long for Vietnam’s three-month visa policy. Allowing visitors to make multiple entries is the most valuable aspect of this new system. Now, I can travel to other ASEAN nations without having to apply for a new visa each time I return to Vietnam.”
The e-visa processing time in Vietnam is commendably efficient, with a standard processing period of just three working days. However, during peak seasons or after holidays, it may take slightly longer. Nevertheless, this streamlined process ensures that travelers receive their e-visas promptly, allowing them to plan their trips with ease and peace of mind.
